The most stressful thing about uni exams is...

It mightn't be easy to pick just one, but what do you think? :redface:

Maybe it's the sheer amount of extra reading that is 'necessary' for some subjects/modules.

For me it was when a lecturer hadnt realised that 14 of us had exam adjustments so didnt book a big enough room, so we had to change last minute :angry:
Saturday exams :eek3:

the pressure of finals :eek:
...trying to condense a 200+ presentation lecture slide into 3 days....

complete with papers (with no ****ing answers ofc), every single extra question from lecturer (no matter how lengthy), questions from textbooks as well; even after all that, there being no guarantee that the questions you've 'revised' would even come up.

ohh and also combine it with coursework you would probably have due in on the same day.

Condensing it down for revision?

yeah. going over the lecture notes again, understanding them and making your own condensed version of notes from them - easier to revise from.

i'm a first year loool.

**** happens innit XD (bear in mind, its not like i've played the year away. i did have courseworks, lab reports, design briefs and presentations; e.t.c to get through. in addition to homeworks that amounted for five other modules (in addition to this one). frankly, i've never been so worked in any school year, all my life. i've kept up with the workload and made constant struggles/attempts to always understand what the lecturer was banging on about. but at the end of the year yeah, anyone would've forgotten what was said at the start loool)

so ultimately.. yeah. mistakes were made.

big ****ing time ahahaha

Exactly, it certainly ramped up the stress, how I got a 1st in that exam I will never know.

:console: having no answers is the worst - you have to collaborate with people and try to make up an unoffical set of your own :redface: and I agree, exams can be such a lottery!

Knowing that last year they scaled marks down from 90-100% to 70-75% for a paper, the poor people who got 50% had no chance...
