Okay, blah. This is going to sound like a pretty absurd idea and I don't know if people will be interested but I think it'll work. For me, at least. I am sitting in a pool of desperation and can't seem to study for more than 35 minutes per day atm, if that. Considering we are now in mid-may and our exams are literally tomorrow/have started, I thought it'd be worth a try making this.
So how this works is that if you wish to participate then you post in this thread stating what your next exam is and how many days you have left for it. E.g.
"Biology Unit 2 - Five days."
TSR-ians will then comment on your post on whether they think you can do it. If they don't believe you can learn the content you have stated in the specified time and achieve a grade A then be ready to receive some responses that may not be very great. On the other hand, if they believe you're more than capable then you'll be hopefully drowning in tons of motivational responses. Honesty is highly recommended. For this to work at it's best, we'll assume that all members who post have done 0 revision towards the exam. Once you have finished revising for your exam, then you post in the thread to let us know of your achievement and we'll tick you off the list in the OP. I think that sense of satisfaction will feel great and hopefully motivate you to continue revising.
This might initially sound like a strange/de-motivating idea, but I personally actually find that when people don't believe in me, it makes me all the more determined to prove them wrong and I end up working 10 times harder in order to achieve what they don't think I will be able to.
At the same time, it might be nice to have that extra support/study-boost knowing that people are by your side and helping you through.
And maybe just maybe, for once we can actually use negativity for the good.
Edit: Upcoming exams.
