I always thought they exaggerated when they said that UCAS cycle is entirely depressing, and lots of tears. Its too long a wait.

Meh, just hoping for the best outcome and especially getting the grades at the moment. Biology has become a nightmare for me. By the way, any tips on speaking slower, I had my mock and spoke too fast. :colondollar:

How did u get the punk username btw? :eek:

Record yourself and play it back, calm yourself down, people talk faster when they are nervous.

I mentally tell myself to talk really slow, to the point where I feel like it's slow-mo. Feels scary, but then when u record it and play it, it sounds much better (i.e. it isn't as slow as expected in head)

Remember to breathe! I know that sounds like a really stupid suggestion but I used to talk really really fast and it was because I rushed everything into one breath. As soon as I started breathing properly it really helped :smile:

Just focus on talking slower, not much of a trick to it :wink:

Thanks a lot guys.
Going to learn some calming breathing techniques, remember to breathe and record myself. Have a good winter break. (not sure if u all celebrate x-mas). :smile:

If you pay by paypal then it's £3.99 for the initial month, then £2.99 a month thereafter until you decide to quit your sub and go back to being a normal user :smile:

You can also pay by 'credits', where it's the same price, except 1p=1credit and you can earn credits by submitting your coursework/essays to TSRs sister site, coursework.info
We also used to pay PS Helpers in credits, though that's pretty much stopped now as we get paid in amazon vouchers :awesome:

I sound like a salesman :lol:

To counter that I should say that TSR earns less from subs than it does if you are just a free user, you just get the benefits of being a sub including that uber-secret backroom which is low-moderation and, quite frankly, dangerous at times :afraid:

Same. I'm just trying to get the grades at the moment :yep:

Biology has become a nightmare for me too sighs :frown:

Tip: record yourself speaking and play it back, that way you can see how fast you're speaking and make changes from there :biggrin:

I paid 4 pounds a friend gave me (for christmas can you believe!) for subscription, which allows you to change username colour :h:

EDIT: Everyone else has pretty much answered your questions and given you the same tips :sigh:
