University Students - GOOD LUCK!!!

Well exam period officially starts in 1 hour and 25 minutes, and with 10 exams I'm "bricking it" as they say.

So thought I'd procrastonate from revising further and create a thread to wish luck to all uni students entering the exam period! Here we go again!

    GRRR hideous start to the exams! One of my exams was messed up. several questions had no right answers (confirmed after) and diagrams on the paper were shrunk so information wasn't visible. Only after leaving the exam early due to finishing (very short exam paper) were the last people given blown up images!

    LOL just got worse. On the extra material was even more information regarding some of the questions actually changing the original information.

    For example, original had an ip address of the router only to make a decision about something. On the extra material it ALSO had a priority number which is CRUCIAL and MISSED OUT on the original part.

    As they gave out the handouts AFTER people had already left, i'm going to go into uni now and go crazy with them.

    I'm not nervous about failing completely (its CISCO networking which i specialise in, enjoy, and am good at!) but it could effect my grade which obviously goes towards my finals!

    However, i do get very nervous and anxious about exams and now i'm practically shaking!.. :(

    Adivce please

    I feel sorry for these students who have to take their exams in a tent!

    Go to your Student Union and your personal tutor, failing that, any lecturer on the cisco networking module.

    Make sure you kick up a MASSIVE stink.

    Good luck to all, mercilless i have sympathy, my first exam was on Tuesday at 2... my next one is on the 23rd so i have quite some time, only 2 exams, contrast that with last semester when i had 4 exams in 5 days.
    Tuesday's exam went ok, hadn't studied for it but had a decent knowledge of it based on class test study from a few weeks before the end of semester, spent an hour before it re-reading about the subject, memorised some case names and basic facts before going in with 3 seconds to spare, sitting down and writing down all i could remember before opening the paper, don't think that method works for everyone but it's only seen me fail one exam since i started uni (an exam in a subject i decided not to attend much of, or buy books for, obviously a decision i regret now) and i'm now nearing the end of 3rd year with a pretty decent diploma entry score .

    Well I spoke to the lecturer and he told me I got an A so I could leave it rofl. He's bribing me to stop pursuing him! Ah well good enough for me!

    Fallenwiccan, you will enjoy the end of that last exam SO much believe me :)

    I must admit though, after my 10th and final exam on friday 25th of may, wow i can't even imagine the feeling haha. Prob panic as I'm moving house the next day!

    timoran, just revise the night before ^-^ lol (i take no responsibility if the advice produces low grades)
