Exams and Freedom

**Phantom Badger** · 05-23-2011, 08:03 PM

Right in the middle of Exam season at my school. These are my final GCSEs. On thursday I break up for study leave, which means I stay off from school and only come in for the exams then go home. Currently in full blown panic mode. Mainly because the majority of my exams are before study leave, and are like a day after each other so I have to worry about balancing my revision time.
I did a few exams last year and a few last week
So far:
-Biology (B)
-Chemistry (A*)
-Physics (A)
-English Literature (B)
-Maths Module 1 (2 Papers) (A*)
-Maths Module 3 (2 Papers) (A*)
-English Language (2 Papers) (?)
-Additional Biology (?)
-Media Studies (A*)

The ones I have grades for I did last year, the ? ones I did last week.
In future:
-Additional Chemistry (Wednesday)
-Additional Physics (Friday)
-Maths Module 5 (I think 17th June)
-Additional Media Studies (20th June)

Lets just say Im feeling the pressure, knowing the majority of people here are past this stage, how did you deal with the stress ? Since Im pretty sure Hrae will say something to do with Drugs/Sex, gunna tell you now that aint gunna happen for me anytime soon. ;D

For my high school major exam.. (the uni entry exam)..

I think I worked out a rough timetable.. know what you need to study (by topics) and give like each topic an hour or two to study, depending on how much time you've got and how familiar you are with the study material..

must stay focus!

Don't be ambitious and try study 5 hrs straight, give yourself nice breaks between hours, but you must commit to studying during the study hours and not go side track.. eliminate all distractions.

For me, once I know I've got a plan and a goal, I will feel less stressed. I only go into stress/panic mode when I get my head in a mess and try to do too much at once.
