It's a couple of hours, to my first exam (Europe in the 20th Century) I am now wishing I had gone too more lectures and spent less time hung-over :S I don't want to have to resit these exams (have two more at the end of the month) as the resit papers are so much harder. Plus I become a nervous wreck when you so much as say the words "exam" or "exam room"

Basically this thread is just the result of me being too nervous to revise anymore and wanting to do something :cry:

Just stay calm and you'll do fine. Have a small drink before that to steady those nerves and to revive your brain. ;)

Well i'm a student of history as I can pretty much dissertate the history of Europe from the Protestant reformation to the 19th century. Is there anything in that time frame you wish to know?

Good luck, I'm sure you'll do fine.... besides, if I remember correctly you get 5% just for writing your name on the exam paper so your 5% there already.........

D-Day all over again for me. This is the exam I am most worried about. Anthropology. Think of me in 45 minutes time, sitting at a desk, more than likely banging my head of it, in frustration

I feel for you. But you do realize that head-banging is typical of certain central Guinean pygmy tribes, which, anthropologically speaking, is highly significant. Please discuss in 500 words or less. ::/

That was bad. Although out of an exam room of 150, I counted 35 who had walked out before half an hour. There was a choice of 10, we had to do 3. I could do 2 of them and the 3rd one I just sat there chewing my pen for half an hour before being hit by a brainwave and scribbling 3 pages worth in 15 muntes.

I also wrote on the exam paper, that I have two broken fingers so I can't write. Pretty desperate stuff.

Another bloody exam on Friday, but then I am done :D And the gf is cooking a roast for me. Get in :D :D :D
