have to laugh at exams.

Come off it - last night you admitted your goal is to keep up with your friends career and moneywise, and suddenly you're not comparing what others do in exams despite starting a thread on the very subject and attempting to pull down those who do exams differently to you? Don't deceive yourself; you're certainly not fooling me. Hasn't your philosophy degree even taught you a mite of self-awareness?

It is a question of degrees, to just have a quick scan across the room from time to time is not worrying about others.

I am not pulling anyone down as I know I am more at fault than them because they write at normal speed and I don't.

Just because someone starts to write straight away does not mean they have not thought about the question - I was always able to read the question and know straight away what was required for a good answer - at the end of the day some people are able to do this and gain good qualifications. Just because you have to sit and digest every word and think about it for a while...does not mean everyone does. For some, answers just pop into their head and away they go! University is full of intelligent people who are able to deal with exams...its a fact !

another one for the arms perhaps?

Again you're being dishonest - you said:

- have to laugh
- show no evidence of thinking
- comical
- without even gathering their thoughts
- without a second to consider
- against common sense
- jump straight in

This thread is about you feeling inadequate in an exam setting, so you're attempting to denigrate others to make yourself feel better. Very arrogant.

You do see it in a negative light and how can I be arrogant if I know I am not upto the mark?

You tell me - I'm simply reacting to the words you post. :rolleyes:

I feel a bit lacking that I can not write as much as others in the time. I feel far from arrogant about that.

So once again you start a thread when you really want to talk about your inadequacies. Why are you so dishonest even with yourself? Heck I've not been here long and already I can spot your pattern. Let me guess - it's your parents' fault. Why do you expect people here to be your counsellors? Get off your butt and see a psychotherapist. I'm not going to respond to this any further because it's boring. If this is the way you carry on, you and I shan't be seeing much of each other on threads.

That is your view as you see things. it is no ones fault and a counsellor does nothing for speed of writing.

If you could understand what I mean about how people sort of write in a paniced way in exams then you woulld see that I am not so crazy to think it looks strange.

that's all well and good, but you must be able to see why a lot of us are very confused about why this is on a moneysaving forum?!

maybe you could take the same time and thought that you do in exams when starting threads on here?!
