    Ok, so I've been writing out my presentation for my masters project which I have to give on Tuesday. It's so incredibly hard to squash an entire dissertation into 10 minutes. I am having to leave so much stuff out.

    Anyway, gotta fit in finishing this around my heavy bbq social calendar!

    End of year 2, woooot. I was dreading the exam today, out of 20 power point slides worth of information, I'd revised 6. Lucky for me 3 out of the 6 questions were based on that information...guess which three I answered. :cool:

    Probably not the best answers but I THINK I can forget worrying about having to re-take it now. Well I'll be pissed if I have to...

    One exam went well today, one went horribly.
    What is the chances of getting a pass by referring to the Q and writing an answer and argueing points but the answer not being entirely relevant to the Q and missing substantial information?

    Look in your equivalent to a handbook for your school of study and they usually have criteria for each grade band for exams and essays in there somewhere! Saying things like, substantially answers the question with rigorous attention to blah blah blah.

    for every criteria it basically mentions addresses, question, shows substantial knowledge, arguments flow logically etc..
    I'm sort of hoping I pass on the basis I did address the question etc, just didn't answer it very well!

    Almost a day behind on revision and exams on Saturday. Something tells me this will be a long few days :lol:

    At least this is an interesting module, so I don't mind revising for this one

    I may or may not have just ripped up my revision notes for today's exam and thrown them all over the kitchen.

    Word to the wise: don't spend too long revising in the sunshine. I have heat exhaustion .
    Today: revise two more topics for Tuesday's exam and re-cap the other 3 I've already learned - indoors, with a bottle of water, near a breeze!

    Three down, two to go.

    Hardest exam (Early Modern) is on Monday

    Couldn't revise today because of the weather. Ended up going swimming and getting sunburnt after this mornings exam. Can't concentrate now either, but think that's because I'm tired after having gotten up at 6.45 this morning....

    Can't wait for Wednesday afternoon to come around!

    Mega revision session today. My exam is on Monday :eek:. If I sat it right now I don't think it would go well. I understand the material but getting my brain to remember it is another matter entirely.
