Depression

OK gilly... big breath.. cuppa tea.. and don't panic!!!! cos that's what you're doing it seems to me.

break it down into smaller chunks

20 mins study.. then 5 mins to gawp out the window or stretch ur legs or something - repeat x 2

after an hour, do a brainstorm, where you just scribble down everything you know about the subject you just read.. it should be very random and disjointed but it will clarify how much you do actually know.

repeat 20 + 5 study pattern then brainstorm ad nauseam

I wish you lived nearer to me cos I'd help you with it. It is doable.. it's just a matter of findng the way that works for you.

Something else that really helps is to record it on audio and then play it back on your ipod or cd player or whatever when you're out and about.. amazing how much that sinks in too

Take a meander over to the student board, there's some really clever people over there with lots of tips and advice that will be helpful. Now, hold still while I hugg ya, sorry I can only reach your knees but never mind xxxxxxxxxxx

Awww gillette (((HUGS))) Don't give up just yet! You've still got time.

You've probably already mentioned this but what is the course that you are doing?

Health and Safety.
It's simplicity is it's problem.
I can name all (most) the acts and regs with their years - I can do facts (to a point). It's when it get's waffly that I struggle.

I should have known - I'm a scientist not a management sort.
I don't even know what to learn....
The syllabus says one thing, the course notes say something else, and the exam questions seem to be a different beast again.

I feel I want to study it myself and find a different order to it all but I don't have the time and it still might not work.
I got a degree, so I used to be able to remember and understand stuff - but that was 20 years ago.

It just isn't happening - I can't make huge lists of things to learn - to replace what is just coming to people that have a natural aptitude for it.

Everytime a question say list 6 things - I can think of 2 if i'm lucky.
And the average pass mark for these things is 60-70%!!!

Sorry bout this....all my family and g/f are out of contact and I need to panic.

Try not to panic Gillette. I'm sure you actually know the answers but because you're stressing slightly you're forgetting things. Take a deep breath and tell yourself that you can do it.

It's my birthday on Sunday so the weekend is bound to suck. Most people I know will forget, not that I know many people in the first place but yeah *sigh*

Happy Birthday girlie for Sunday.


It's not that i'm stressed.
The questions make no sense to me until I read the answer. But then the answer won't stick in my head. If you asked me again I still wouldn't know.
It's like a language barrier.

The truth is also I haven't memorized enough to deserve to pass.
But it all seems so random a subject that it's like trying to learn a phonebook.

I've been on here 2.5hrs instead of working.
I hate it being winter - I just don't want to work in the dark either.
Just so lazy - I'm letting my chance of pulling back from the brink slip away.

Thanks

If you don't pass are you allowed to resit the exam or is it like one chance and that's it?
