    Definately exams. I'm often lazy and end up leaving it to the last minute with essays.

    Essays for sure! Once i get down to it i actually enjoy researching and writing it all. Ive got 2 at the moment, 1 is nearly done and i dont even remember what the other one is about.

    I DETEST exams, my last one was 3 hours long and they had to wrestle the pen off me at the end... lol I get so stressed out and get it all in the wrong order and end up with bits all over the place....

    I used to prefer exams at school by a long way - I always did much better and they're not time consuming! I've never been one for revision so I tended to just go in there and get on with it.

    However since being at uni I tend to do better in essays and not quite as well at exams.. although I still prefer how exams are nice and short. :)

    Exams. Last time I did a degree, I just had to read lots the day before and usually managed to get a pretty decent mark. Essays were more problematic as they had to be researched and typed properly. As I had no computer, it meant spending evenings at the college computer room, directly opposite the student union bar....

    Nothing - but the student board isn't really just to do with money saving - it's a bit of a more general board.
