The freaking nerve of exams *Hasn't woken up that early in months* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 25, 2009 I've done criminal law for 3 years up to now. I don't need luck. I need rest and a little bit of a catch up I'm sure you'll do great to! Good luck as well! Also when does everyone finish their last exam? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2009 Hmm, first (and probably hardest) one tomorrow afternoon. Feeling the nerves a bit now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also when does everyone finish their last exam? Haha! Nice! Yeah, mine tomorrow I could probably Twitter it to the examiner and get an ace mark. Just want to get it done with so I can go get drunk all night. (Not that exams really stopped me...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2009 Gah, I wish mine would come already. This last week of school is going to be a waste of time, anyway. I bet we won't learn much new and useful, anyway, and my self-discipline has hit a new low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 25, 2009 OCR A2 by anychance? I'm hoping it's something mindlessly simple like a titration. I'm in incarceration for 5 hours! 5 hours? thats a bit long :/ How did you find it btw? Thought mine went rather well though my concentration H202 was a bit off what is was supposed to be (0.83 i think it needed to be, mine was 1.09...). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 26, 2009 Hmm, first (and probably hardest) one tomorrow afternoon. Feeling the nerves a bit now. And it's done, went okay. Next hardest is tomorrow morning though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 26, 2009 Taking them top to bottom? In that case it'll be great when you're nearing the end. Not entirely, the last two (out of four) are switched round. Hmm, looking forward to relaxing once they're over now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 26, 2009 Well thats me had 4 out of 5. All four so far have been easy, and the last is 9 days away, and the easiest subject of all. I'm feeling good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2009 My first yearly test is tomorrow: Written Greek. It's probably the one I'm most worried about, to be honest. The day after tomorrow it's written Latin, the one I'm most worried about after Greek, so I get the worst out of the way first. That being said, I'm fairly optimistic. It's not too bad when you're in the middle of it. It's the nervousness up until the test itself that's a bitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2009 Urrgghh frak this. Finished my art but next week I have 3 3 hour exams, 2 English and biology, which I need A's in to get into uni... feeling like I'll never be able to remember enough of biology, (why did I choose an A level that revolves around memorising hundreds of useless facts?) and I find revising English impossible. 8 days and I'll be free of any work until October... just hope I can pull it off :S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2009 I hate the way I can't revise. Got a D.T (well tought at my school pfffft) 3 hour one on Friday, done little revision of note. then English AKA the Memory Test. Surely analysis of any text is hindered HUGELY by not allowing a student to have it in the exam? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely analysis of any text is hindered HUGELY by not allowing a student to have it in the exam? You should try biology. As I say, all it is is a contest to see who can rememebr the most of hundreds of useless facts. But yeah agreed... closed text exams = largely stupid. I've barely started learning quotes as well :S the plan is, John Clare quotes tomorrow, Hamlet quotes Thursday, War synoptic quotes Friday. Not convinced Im gonna pull this off though. Im stressin'.

Posted June 3, 2009 I have an exam in 6 hours, I should probably get some sleep O_o Also, my last exam is friday, I need 4% in it to pass the module, problem is I probably can't even get that !_! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 3, 2009 All finished as of yesterday afternoon, thankfully. Now for some hardcore relaxing until results come out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 3, 2009 Done with my yearly test in written Greek, and it went really well! The syntax analysis and morphology parts as well as the translation and translation commenting parts were easy compared to assignments I've done, and that gave me lots of time to write some good and detailed answers to the background questions to the text. Next up is written Latin tomorrow. I feel a lot calmer now that the Greek test (the one I consider the hardest of the two) went so well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 3, 2009 The syntax analysis and morphology parts Which theoretical frameworks do you use for these, if any? Congrats on it going well, anyway - good luck for your next one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 3, 2009 Which theoretical frameworks do you use for these, if any? Congrats on it going well, anyway - good luck for your next one. Thanks. Well, when analysing syntax we break down the sentence(s) and identify the different parts like the subject, the verb, direct and indirect objects etc. I am not quite familiar with the English vocabulary in this area, so bear with me. When doing morphology, we are presented with a number of words from a text. By backtracking we identify the original form of the word and determine the mood, the aspect, the tense etc. of the word. (If it's a verb. If it's a noun or a pronoun, we identify the case, the gender and so on.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
