I've finished my academic work but most of the last few weeks of my placement have been a bit of a drag so I feel you. Tried to make the best of it as much as possible, but even so... Especially when it was hot last week and I was stuck in the community office!!!

I started a checklist of academic work that I needed to do at beginning of 3rd year and have slowly been ticking things off.... Not only to keep myself organised, but to keep me motivated too!!! I also have a widget on my phone that counts down the days til I finish.

You might be doing one or both of those already, but on the whole they've helped me! They might get you through the final push. Oh, and chocolate. Always chocolate!! :h:

Quite a bit. But I've probably got most of my in depth understanding from placement, our acute illness module and revising pharmacology.

Don't prepare too much - chill out and enjoy yourself...make the most of not being a student nurse!

We had a MCQ at the end of our first year which covered all the A&P we learned that year. If they're doing it in November, I assume it'll only be on the topics you've learned up to that point.
