The title made me laugh.

I know what you mean. Unless I don't know ANYTHING on the paper, and if I've actually studied, I find that I enjoy most exams to an extent :smile:

I actually enjoy essay writing exams though I hate essay. I love the time intensity and feel myself working so hard! I can feel I'm doing my best and I feel so satisfied after writing up whole lot of essay in not-easy time limit!

I did Edexcel poetry and geography b and they were 'attractive' (metaphor) exams. See what I did there?

What exam board did you do them in?

Ah, I'm on AQA for both, but I do Geography A, that's a relief aha

Yeah I loved my English lit exams at GCSE.. they were defo fun essays to write. But A-levels are a completely different ball game
I like it when the questions are basic or are on the stuff I actually revised, like the psychology essay that came up last year on life changes and daily hassles

I like being able to write your interpretations and stuff, but with an English exam at the end of the week... my fingers are aching like crazy after I'm half way through it, my handwriting turns to ****, that;s what I hate

Surprisingly enough, I feel I work at my hardest under exam style high-pressure times conditions. Absolutely nothing like it :redface:

Whilst I LOVE these questions I don't like to solve them under exam conditions. For something mathematic or scientific, I love to think in a quiet room with calm atmosphere, not the stressful room with sound of pens scratching the desk.

On the other hand I love exam condition for something I usually hate to do such as essay writing. It surprisingly becomes fun under exam condition :redface:

Yeah they should give much more time than the typical mark a minute. Had to rush most of my exams

I normally just try and tune everything out - I'm in a separate room for people that use computers so that also helps :colone: If I'm fully concentrating on something though (which doesn't happen often XD) I need completed silence or I can't work properly

I know that feel, smashed out some long poetry essay today and felt like a boss :cool:

I have like some minor version of Arthritis and doing an exam 2/3 times a day, is absolutely destroying my fingers, It became unbearable in the Poetry exam I had to just put the pen down frequently, Linear exams are the worst.

I felt exactly the same way doing my GCSE History, I really enjoyed it because I actually understood the question and had a good answer to give :smile:

Yeah, gets painful, really distracting and hard to continue writing, they need to spread the English exams out more
What you smoking OP?
You are the only person who i know who have said they like exams.
I look forward to the day that my exams finish as i would be stress free until my A2s.

Only some exams were enjoyable. I hated the RS exam papers... Completely dreadful. A nightmare.
I get that with geography and maths :smile:
