The fear of failing. Not getting into my firm university and letting my parents down.

[Astronomical]

I like getting full UMS.

[The_master616]

My own pride and desire for knowledge.

[06dimairhop]

Two things
Getting a great job and hopefully pays a lot &
Make my parents proud

LOL same here

A dialogue I had last week after doing a maths past paper:

Me: Mum! I got 96%!

Mum: That's not 100% though is it?

Me: No... But it will be full UMS!

Mum: I DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS UMS RUBBISH!! YOU NEED TO GO GET FULL MARKS OTHERWISE THIS EDUCTAION WE ARE PROVIDING YOU WITH IS USELESS!!!!

Me:*okayface*

stress, like a week or two before an exam- and the fear of going through clearing.

Ditto. I have an exam at 9am, I got home at 6pm and planned to revise all evening. I still haven't even opened my books, I swear it's some sort of psychological condition.

Yep this whole week of mine was meant to be devoted to revision...The motivation lasted Monday and Tuesday and now here I am... If it's not some sort of condition then I'm just an idiot XD

I want to go to a decent uni. If I don't get good grades, I won't end up at a decent uni. Simple as.

Nothing, I barely have any motivation if any. I procrastinate most of the time. My brain must screw up rewarding me when I do good or something.

Mine would be looking at the amount of A*s people get on here and then realising sh1t i am really effin about with these GCSE's

[Joey Tribbiani]

I used to be motivated, by thinking of me being successful in the future which was a pleasant sight. Or if that didn't work i pictured myself on J.S.A living in the same ****ty area, barely able to fend for myself; this usually got me revising.

But now nothing works, just too god damn lazy, and the worst thing is, i'm not affected by the idea of failing.

I love my subjects (bar Physics)

Hate Physics too

[TerribleTej]

in year 10, i constantly used to under perform in my gcse exams. Now, I know that this is my last chance before A levels, and so I have to try my best.

Main motivation for me: trying to get into cambridge and realising that if many thousands succeed getting into it.... Then why can't I? All that is needed is a bit of hard work for the next few years of my life.

The soundtrack I play myself every night with a recording of me saying "Would you like fries with that?"
The picture of the hobo pinned on my computer desk.
The toilet plunger+ cleaners uniform in my closet.

Just out of interest... why do you even have that!

[SofiaSalento]

I sometimes do like 1 hour revision = 1 chapter of a book I'm reading or 20 minutes of TV or if I have to read a book every chapter I reward myself with a haribo haha! But generally, i'm motivated by Uni and the uncertainty of what i'd do if I didn't get into Uni!

[Kim-x]

Getting the impression that other people are doing better than you on the basis of their contributions in class. Doesn't work so well at uni.

The feeling of 'I have an exam in five hours HOLY ****ING **** ****'

[Sagacious]

I actually can't believe no one has posted this, I may as well do it!



It had to be done...

[Acerbic]

Realising that the exam's tomorrow and some revision is probably in order
