In my first year of law and finished both exams 2 weeks ago, stressing on the results, though, in my case I probably shouldn't according to a few of my peers, needing just 14/60 in one and 17/60 in the other to pass the units. Both exams were just 4 short answers out of a pool of 8 with one exam having an extra 20 multiple choice question.

Law exams sucked, that's why I'm a law school dropout.
 
Had a Health Science Psych exam on Tuesday. Literally crammed for 5 hours until 3, got up at 7, and pretty sure I passed. Absolutely stoked.

On the other hand.... got Bio tomorrow. Cramming for that as well, need 15/40 to pass but I am shitting my pants right now. Unlike the previous exam, too much content to cram it I think....

What happens if I fail?

The other 2 are piss easy though. ****, why didn't they put the harder exams on the second week. ffs.
 
Quick question, anyone done Management Accounting? I have to do it and have gone well with the assignments but am stressing about the exam as I don't feel I have learnt any actual accounting skills, the teacher has been very vague about it so just wondered if anyone else has sat an exam for it. It is a week and a half away thankfully.

Yeah, hard to know whether you hit exactly the right spots or not.

Got Constitutional Law tomorrow, few pre-planned essays, hope they pop-up on there.

Never understood the "P's get degrees" mantra. I was always pretty bummed when I got a P and I still kick myself at how slack I was first year uni.

Yeah it's pretty stupid, they don't realise that when they look at your transcript they tell you to **** off. I was pretty bad for my first year of uni but then I started to wonder why I wasn't trying and realise how ridiculously easy it is to get good marks.
 
Yeah fair enough.

I somehow breezed through high school without any study, since Nursing is a somewhat a low ATAR score, managed to get into it with doing no study whatsoever in my last 2 years.

Really want to do well but not used to pushing myself, being organised nor do I have any idea which studying skills work for me or what's the best way to do it. Have gotten a better grasp of it this semester, just want to pass this semester so I can get a fresh start.

Interesting the amount of people panicking about exams. If I where to play devil's advocate I'd try a different tact. I'd say stay on Big Footy if it relaxes you. (While doing some study). Learning and retention of new information is complex and challenging and requires a great deal to go right. Furthermore the information has to be either relevant and mainly of interest to you in some way. The brain pathways have to be activated, alert and receptive.

People can only study/attempt to acquire new skills for so long before the whole process becomes self defeating. Sitting and panicking about an exam will mean all the study in the world won't be worth a pinch of goat's sh*&. Ever notice the person who does bugger all study but gets top marks. No real mystery I don't think. The information somehow appealed to them, they assimilated it more easily into their existing knowledge and thus remembered it. If after countless hours of study nothing gets through it is unlikely to anyway.

This is just so...accurate.

I have 3 exams. One on Friday, one next Tuesday, and one next Thursday.
Friday: CLinical and Sport Biomechanics
Tuesday: Exercise Prescription
Thursday: Exercise Metabolism

Relatively confident for the last 2, especially, however, Exercise metabolism is goddamn difficult. Some of the neural stuff in Clinical and Sport Biomechanics just puts me to sleep.

So much this.

After I realised this and pulled my finger out I didn't get less than an HD for my last 5 semesters (BSc). It's not that hard people.
 
The subject I'm most concerned about for my course is swimming. Yes that's right, swimming. My uni is like that only one in Victoria that offers it I'm fairly sure, which is shit luck for me because you actually have to be a reasonably coordinated swimmer to pass, something of which I definitely am not. What a joke.
 
1 exam left for me, had a practical exam in cell bio, plus waves and optics, had Chemistry and Stoichiometry exam yesterday and Kinematics tomorrow... My plan is know my stuff reasonably well during the semester, do the practice test and reread once the night before, then again on the train. So far worked alright got 100% on prac exam and 96% for waves and optics...

Had my first exam today, did approx. 2 hours of study for it. Bombed it completely.

Should probably know better by now being my third year of Uni (first of this new degree, quit the old one after 2 years :D).

This is good advice. I need to try this.
 
I've been on break for over 2 weeks, and don't go back until August 10th, **** yeah. Postgrad is such a breeze after an engineering degree.
