Re: What motivates you to start studying?Not wanting to do badly in the exam and have to resit.
The worry of having something I know crap all about come up in the exam.
Just generally wanting to do as well as I personally can. -

Re: What motivates you to start studying?My Mother.
There was an article in the local newspaper the other day where the parents of a child were congratulating them on getting into University, but they had taken a BTEC course and achieved D*D*D*.
My Mother had no idea what any of this was and was like, "Why on Earth would you praise your child for getting a D?".
Says to me, "You better not be getting any D's!".
Motivation enough.
Edit: For the people giving out -rep, I wasn't criticising BTEC or anything like that and neither was my Mother (she wasn't aware, as I've said) and so grow up and stop being so trigger happy.Last edited by Tullia; 11-06-2012 at 09:09. -

Re: What motivates you to start studying?The desire to get a good grade and go to a good university.
When I'm near exams I always make myself revise by setting an amount of things to do each day (not as structured as a revision timetable, though - just "you should probably do some maths or physics or english etc"), and looking at a calendar to see how near my exams are.
.
