Gets you a long way!
I'm taking a break from revision today :tongue:

Have six 2.5 hour exams in May, first lot of uni exams so really worried about them, but will hopefully feel more confident once more revision has been done.

Stressing about finding a summer job though which isn't helping the exam focus!
I feel really burnt out atm...I need to revise a different module I think.
Coursework done and submitted,

revision is allowed to begin!!
Revision is really going downhill- I can't seem to get anything done and nothing is going in :frown:

Same problem :frown:
Finally started revising, I'm so much more motivated for Politics and International Relations than American History which is a shame as I still have an essay on American History to do and I know the least about it.
Ok, have exams 14th, 16th, 17th and 24th May for 3 hours each.

Or 4 if you get extra time like I do, plus I get to type up exams :biggrin:

14th - EU law - not looking forward to this, got a 38 in the assignment so need anything between 40-58 in the exam to pass/get a 2:2 for the module.

16th - Politics - bit apprehensive as it's worth 100% of the module, but we get a pre-release soon so that's ok.

17th - Criminal law - not looking forward to this either, got 50 in our moot so want to try and better that in the exam. Revision lecture on April 23rd should tell us which topics to revise.

18th - Land law - I'm not worried about this one, got 58 in the assignment so I'll be happy if I get about the same in the exam. Should get the pre-release for it in a week or 2.


Have been copying up EU lectures for about 6 days now and have done 18/19, so just need to do the last one tomorrow, decide what topics I want to revise, then do OneNote pages of info/cases/statutes/journals to use, as well as a definitions list.

Next week I'll copy up the Politics lectures before deciding which topics to do (shouldn't take me too long as there's only about 10 or 11 lectures due to it being a half-module.

Will look at Land once the pre-release is out (all of our exam is based on the stuff in the pre-release, so no point writing up lectures for that one).

Will look at Crim once we've had the revision lecture (I won't be there for that though so I hope it will be up on Blackboard).


The one thing that's annoyed me is that they've suddenly started to timetable stuff for the 2 weeks before the exams (ie lectures/seminars) - I looked at my timetable during the 1st/2nd week of March and I had nothing from 26th March-14th May, so I don't know why they've suddenly added stuff. I won't be there for 3rd-7th May anyway as I'm at Disneyland with the family.
Revision :unsure:

Reading this makes me extremely thankful for my timetable and my exam lengths ha :laugh:
I have no time to revise over Easter this year, like every year here lol. We get set too many assignments and this yea I have the dissertation on top of it as well.

My deadlines:
Dissertation, 12,000 words - 24th April
Two 3,000 word essays - 9th May

Exams: 23rd, 24th, 28th and 30th May, all two hous each.

I have written one 3,000 word essay and have the conclusion left to write on my dissertation, but the next week will be spent editing ans redrafting it. The last week will be spent reading and planning my last 3,000 word essay and then writing it. Hoping everythign will be finished by the time I go back to Uni (23rd April) and can then start revising. One week per exam is what it will work out as, so fingers crossed that it is! Last year I did a week per exam and that was for 3 hour exams, so hopefully will be fine!

I wish I could revise now though!!

I'm relying on lots of cups of tea to get me through :yep:
