    Never done either, don't think I would cope well in an exam situation.

    Exams as I tend to be more focussed in them than spending ages getting an essay together.

    I do not understand people who pick courses just because they have no exams! Surely the most important thing is if you are loving what you are learning than how it is assessed.

    Done a fair few of both over the past few years, and have lots more to come :eek: But I'm doing Quantitative Methods this year so I'm not doing essays, just exams.

    I don't prefer either really. I usually over-research my essays and can't leave them alone so I know I spend way too much time on them, but I enjoy seeing the finished work. I've never been one to stress out about exams and enjoy the fact that I can't keep messing with what I have written and it is over and done with in a couple of hours (after many hours of research of course ;) )
