    Last 3rd year exam tomorrow, considering not even going.
    My last ever exam is tomorrow and I am genuinely considering not going. I don't know anything. My notes are useless, everything on blackboard is useless and I've attempted the past papers but I cant answer them straight off and can't even answer then from looking through my notes and online and in books. I know it would be stupid to just not go but honestly don't see the point

    no its digital video and image technology you're actually not going?
    would be helpful if my lecturer bothered marking and returning our coursework so i at least know what mark i need to scrape a pass!

    I think everyone gets like this towards the end of their degree. At least by going, even if you don't revise, just do what you can, even to scrape a pass, because, if you don't go you might not be able to graduate because you won't get the credits for the module. Even if it's only to turn up and get 40, you've done it and you can graduate. Don't waste the last 3 years of your life if you can't graduate.

    Just stick at it I'm sure that your probably just feeling a bit exasperated, everyone feels like that at the end of the 3rd year but don't give up and just think about graduation
    You can do it

    Well if i fail this module but get between 30-39% then they give a compensated pass because all my other grades have been good but yea I'm not going to not go. Just got in a massive flap earlier and spent an hour crying on the phone to my mum haha but at my friends now revising together so feeling a bit better about it

    I can do it haha, thanks

    How come if all your other grades have been good you've struggled so much with this module, it must have been really hard for you then.
    Just think when tomorrows over you can go out and have fun

    Yes this module has just been ridiculously hard, we did analogue video last year which was fine i understood that and got good marks but this year the lecturer has been so unhelpful and his lecturers have been so crap that its been really hard to understand. I somehow managed to get 63 in the first cw but he hasn't given us our second coursework back yet

    if you don't go you won't get any marks, you'll at least get some if you attempt the paper.

    Remember, it's always surprising what answers come into your head in the stress of an exam!

    Go.and try. Imagine how you would feel if all your friends came out talking about the exam questions and you realised you could have actually answered them.

    Good luck we're all rooting for you

    Just go anyway. Even if you wrote a load of crap in the exam you still might gain some marks.
