Completely true on the second paragraph. Then I think it's not actually that you are incapable but it's a psychological thing. You're convinced you definitely won't remember anything and you're anxious about it and that gives you the brain paralysed feeling.

Maybe just trying not to care about it as much might help? Like when you haven't done enough prep just be like well I'm gonna fail this might as well write some stuff down and don't get worked up? Idk I'm just throwing out suggestions. :/


I'm trying :/

Keep trying. And use how you feel now to motivate yourself to be more prepared for other stuff.

And realise right now that 30% on one module isn't the be all and end all, though it is important. But just to calm your anxiety about this particular situation in the short term tell yourself it doesn't matter.

It only matters if you do this for everything as then you're not gonna end up doing very well....:smile:

Well I do need to do well in this since otherwise the exam in may is high pressure, so I can't really see it that way at all.

I'm not doing very well regardless of what approach I take.

...which I will almost certainly fail or get a bad mark in.

Hey kids stay in school or you'll end up like me.

But seriously ugh. Only found out I had this assessment a few days ago because it was really unclear when it would be and the groupings. And since I've been quite ill recently I missed quite a few of the assessment specific lectures and so now I'm just sat in my room trying to revise the **** out of this but literally nothing is sticking in my puny brain.


:frown: sad face. Lesson of the day, if you're in uni or are going to go to uni, be better than me.

Yeah people always say it'll be fine in the end, but it's just something we tell people to make them feel better. It might not go in.

Been working on flash cards for hours.

I have classmates to message, they're just not great at being helpful sometimes.
