Hey guys, yesterday it was 5 weeks until my first exam. I'm doing English Literature, History (Soviet Russia + Britain 1815-1861), Biology and Chemistry, all of which are on AQA, and I'm seriously starting to panic.
I sat Bio and Chem unit 1 in January and got an A in Biology and a B in Chemistry (1 mark off an A), with surprising little work, the thing is, I started very early (Mid November ish), and I reckon that's how I got away with lazyness. This whole year has been an utter blur, organisation falling down a hole resulting in late homework, some poor marks in practices etc.
Now summer is creeping up on me and due to coursework I haven't really started until this week, but with light work, maximum 3 hours a day, and I feel petrified. I'm swamped by the vastness of what I have to cover in 5 weeks, having to read whole books for English again, one of which I only ever got half way through...
I'm so worried I just feel paralysed and end up doing nothing and wasting my time. Its the old cycle of "tomorrow I'll do 6 hours then go out", and then actually only doing a couple of light hours and then vegetating. This is like nightmares I've had.
I need to things from you guys:
1. Is this pretty late starting (be honest).
2. How have you coped with stuff like this in the past?
Thanks. Jamie.
