1st year exams...nooooo

Ok, it's 1am and reading about Lenin is getting on my tits...40% is a great benchmark but I guess everyone has a target in mind for this year and normally it aint a bare pass...

How is everyone finding revision, *uses naive voice* is it really possible to pass this year at a decent level simply through using learnwise?? And how much emphisis is everyone placing on these exams?? :confused:

I have revised for a total of 4 minutes so far. I just don't have the motivation.

I mean, it's not like I'm not interested in the subject etc, it's just exam time AGAIN. It's, what, the 4th year in a row now? That's ridiculous.

Just to give you all a slight idea what I'm doing...

That's for the Logic + Maths module. Fun fun!

Yep, if anything we're gonna be pretty damn good at doing exams when we leave uni. Still Lenin...3...years...running. I feel like I know the guy on a m8ey basis...and that is just not good. :biggrin:

Summer BBQ's, Pimm's, Oceana, the Summer Ball and the Blowout...exams almost seem worth the hassle :rolleyes:

Think yourself lucky you don't have two dissertations (put together worth a third of your degree) due in a week tomorrow and Thursday, and then both your finals on the Monday and Tuesday the week after that. :frown:

I'm working flat out on the dissertations at the moment, and will be until they're due in - so I'll only have a few days in which to revise for the most important exams so far in my LIFE... :frown:

*sigh*

I'vve done v. little work I must say...and I am going to utilise Learnwise to full effect! JonW are you doing Lenin for your Conflict essay? I'm doing Religion, done 550 words so far, only started today! Damn I've really done nothing productive this holiday!

I'd much rather be studying Lenin, than the reasons for the bloody reform act of 1832!

How about the will of a lady who died in 1415? :p:

Did she leave me anything?

I'm "supposed" to be revising the effects of international relations on the british empire 1914-45 but the title is so dull I *had* to come on here instead.

No, though she's certainly left me a lot of work to do in analysing it... :frown:

Sounds thrilling...or perhaps not! :biggrin:

I agree though, TSR is heaven-sent for procrastinators.

Yeah, should be useful for the Conflict & Identity exam too. This essay isn't playing on my mind too much yet, I'll probs start it when I get back to Kingswood next week...I hear the religion essay is a killer *sends positive vibes*. Which questions r u gonna be doing in the C&I exam out of interest?

3am revision here I come!! Being a morning person must be soooo much easier :redface:

I haven't revised anything yet, simply because I have loads of essays to do. :frown:

One finished, two half way done, and one not started yet!

Erm, I'm gonna do Religion, Immigration and Eugenics, then maybe Russian Revolution as a bit of a wild card. 100% not doing Medicalisation of Society, bloody hell,no, those lectures were awful!

JonW, have you checked your college e-mail? Course choices are up! I didn't get into my UCL choice :frown:

but otherwise am very happy!

Am doing 1917, Migration and Relgion for C&I. Confident about 1917 (A-level) and migration should be relatively blaggable. Religion is the toughie.

What on EARTH was medicalisation about, it was something else...something uber crap...even the seminar teachers thought sod it...we talked about that great paradox of life in one of our classes...how can you hate marmite and love twigglets? :biggrin:

Yah, I didn't get my Stalinism option (was well pissed off, but I might be able to do it for Y3) but got Modern Political Ideas instead...the others were History of the Roman Empire, History of the British Empire and Conquest and Colonisation- so gd overall.

I'm like a rabbit caught in the headlights of a JCB atm, I just can't focus on getting the revision done...maybe being back at uni will help.
