Anyone else get seriously depressed after exams?

These A-level exams are killing me, and im only doing AS, pllus ive only done one exam so far and i feel utterly deflated. :/ Anyone else get majorly depressed after an exam? I dont think I'll survive sixth form..:cry:.

Don't worry! I'm doing AS and am worried about them. Its a much bigger jump up from GCSE than I imagined :-(

What subjects are doing? :-)
No after an exam I'm like partying partying YEAH fun fun fun.

I always feel depressed after exams especially when others say they found it easy and I've found it hard. :-(

Yep, it's the worst feeling. But make sure you take time out of revision etc to do things you enjoy. Try and find something to motivate you when you're in class / revising, such as an image of what you'd like to be when you're older, that always motivates me to try my very hardest. Everyone dreads exams, but the majority of the time, you will have achieved a good grade, so don't stress too much! I've only done one exam so far too, remember it only gets tougher from here, so try your best to be strong! X
Don't talk about it. Asking your friends what they did for question blah blah will just make you worry more.
I just feel at a loss as to what to do with myself! After really intense revising for weeks on end it's rubbish to then suddenly have nothing and it does get me down because I feel like I'm wasting time, plus waiting for results is horrible but it gets better after a week or so! Promise, best of luck with any other exams you have :smile:

The absolute worse moment during any exam period is that moment when you're walking in the hall, and the people from your class are behind you are hurriedly checking each other's key points as they walk... And you recognise nothing they're talking about :lolwut: Noooo.

If I did badly...yea...xD

But like srsly, after an exam I sort of empty my brain out of all the knowledge I've learnt...

I wouldn't say I like it... :tongue: But I do end up doing a lot of it, and then exams are over and I'm like... :eek: I have no flashcards to look through what is going on?!?! :tongue: I'm sure you won't :smile: just check through carefully and read the questions - I always misread and narrowly avoid dropping marks because of it :colondollar: I should know better as well as I'm doing A2's now :rolleyes:. Best of luck for tomorrow and the say after! :biggrin:

OMG, YES! I literally burst out crying today after my business exam! Just because I realised I did one question wrong! I hate the thought of resitting it, the stress associated with exams kills me!

Try and treat yourself after each exam eg watch a good film, order a pizza, make pancakes or something so you have something to focus on after the exam - also don't worry if you think it's gone badly... You're in a better position than those who think the exam was easy and then receive a lower mark on results day... you never know, you might surprise yourself!
