    Yeah I haven't. To be honest, I think other than revision about 2 weeks before the exam (ie. cramming useless information), lessons provide enough time to revise well.

    Ah serious? That's really intriguing. So are you British/english or are you actually from Denmark?
    lol That is odd that they require maths but maybe because of the complex problem solving nature of the subject? lol
    British/English with a Danish boyfriend. :p:

    Just curious to see if I am the only one or not. I have a grand total of eight exams starting on the 15th of May. I also have to self teach two units before then which I have never looked at before.

    Anyone else who hasn't started yet? (motivation seems to be my problem, not the difficulty of the work itself)
    I am in the exact same position as you! Agggghhhh :eek:

    Till now, I've just been organising my notes, catching up on work that I've missed. However proper revision will being on Monday - It'll give me about 5 weeks to revise and that's plentiful.

    yeah, 7 exams, one of which is an AS in may/june
    I've started the may revision around 3/.4 hours a day but the exams in June are ages away at the minute.... Plus I need a rest as well

    Re: To those who haven't started revising yet.
    I have five exams, starting on 30th April.
    I'm starting revision today. I'm not starting the serious revision today though, that starts tomorrow. Today I revise while I watch tv.
    Really can't be bothered, I have absolutely no motivation.

    It's not that, I just seem to rely too much on my calculator for little things, my multiplication's atrocious and I tend to just type stuff in instead of thinking about it.

    Stuff like 7x8 takes me too long
    That's not really a problem though if you always have access to a calculator.

    Re: To those who haven't started revising yet.
    I have four exams all in June, I guess I'm going light revision?

    I'm up to date on all my notes so just need to read through them and learn them properly. Don't really want to start past papers just yet.

    I want to make sure I don't rely on a calculator though.

    ^^ This

    I've got 4 exams (3 A2, 1 AS)
    I have 6 A2 exams! Urgh, I hope I find some sort of motivation soon - even telling myself that I won't get into university isn't doing anything :confused:.

    Re: To those who haven't started revising yet.
    So I've done most of my notes now; I just can't find it in myself to start the past papers.

    SO...MANY...QUESTIONS :bawling:

    Well it depends on how you are defining it...If you mean I'm taking your stupid comments as a joke, then yes I am; but if you mean I am dumb, think again.
    Wow I thought you were trolling but you really don't recognise the colloqualism "gon'" as a slang replacement for "gonna" or "going to" I actually facepalmed.
