Anyone else revising over christmas?

Amp34 · 22 Dec 2010 at 22:31

First time for me, only ever had summer exams!

I used to love exams fare more than coursework/essays/reports but as I get older I hate exams more and more, guess it's because it takes progressively longer to revise the higher up the system you get.

So anyone else suffering ATM?

Not revising but working on my major project and dissertation, it's great fun.

raikesi · 22 Dec 2010 at 22:40

oh yes! 3 AS modules in January, lucky me!!!

Amp34 · 22 Dec 2010 at 22:41

Dissertation?! Plenty of time

Monkeynut · 22 Dec 2010 at 22:42

All my AS exams in January. Physics, Maths, Further Maths and Chemistry.

Infam0us · 22 Dec 2010 at 22:44

I should be considering I have exams, presentation, and an essay in for January. But I have plenty of time (I hope

)

These AS exams retakes or first tries? I thought they were really only done in the Summer?

First tries, the sciences and maths are modular now. It's good really, better than having a bad day on your exam and snuffing the whole year.

I think I did all my modules in June (other than one resit), makes sense to do them straight after doing the modules though rather than having to relearn the.

Nope, no January exams this year.

Just diss work and a coursework piece to do!

Lightnix · 22 Dec 2010 at 23:17

Just the one - mechanics 1 maths retake. Got an E in it last time, not going to let that happen again.

flibbage0 · 22 Dec 2010 at 23:20

5 exams for me, hurray.

Statistics 1, Biology unit 2, Chemistry unit 2, physics unit 2 and Maths C3.

Beat that.

Got Engineering Principles and Eng. Maths exams in January, going start revising after new year.

Fr0dders · 22 Dec 2010 at 23:23

I hated this part of being academic.

Yuck ! revising over christmas holidays. Glad to say i intend to never do it again. My sympathies for those that do !

I don't understand how you people can start revising so late!

I mean for my AS exams I started April.

For my retakes I started revising since October, take ages for anything to sink in for me.

shinester184 · 22 Dec 2010 at 23:25

yeah, and I keep hitting walls at around 4pm in the day

nydryl · 22 Dec 2010 at 23:25

First time in 5 years I'm not

Amp34 · 22 Dec 2010 at 23:26

My exams are first week of Jan and I only started the end of last week, partly because thats the first time that I've had time to do it. Normally do a weeks worth of revision for each exam but this year they are one each day and there is a ton to cover so I've actually started early. Still at the "I have no idea" phase at the moment.

You must be chuffed.

Well deserved I guess.
