    Red face Exam Stress thread

    The copy from TWC. Suits Org also.
    For me:

    I have 4 exams in June.

    14th of June - Cambridge Advanced English exam(non-native speaker)
    19th of June - Romanian language exam
    21th of June - Math exam
    22th of June - Romanian History exam

    The last 3 are the national exams to enter high school.
    Stress, stress, stress, learning, working, homework...



    Damn. What about you?
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Proud

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    In the US we have a "finals week" which is like the last week before you're free for summer where the schedule for school is different. You just go to two periods a day each day (different ones) and take a two hour test.

    My last day of school is May 25, so it should be in about one month.

    I have two AP tests next week as well as SAT's and perhaps SAT II's as well. Should be a ton of fun....

    I have AP Java to study for
    But at least I'm #1 in my class (which doesn't amount to much because the average joe in my class is an idiot )
    Thus far, 3 practice examinations with well over 500 pages of review work.
    "And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order to things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies; and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have personal experience in them."
    ~ Niccolo Machiavelli

    ...Dont let everyone trick you into thinking that the inconvenience of exams will end once you graduate from school/college/university...

    ...I am sitting for the third of my Certificate in Insurance exams tomorrow...Professional qualifications are in fashion again...it appears that a BSc and an MSc were not enough...

    ...If u think that Algebra is boring imagine having to learn about the wonderfull world of stolen caravans and about the levels of excess that apply if you claim for Vet fees for your pregnant dog...

    ...just pathetic...

    Top assassin exam tip: BEFORE turning the question paper over, draw a panic button on your scrap paper. Then, if the questions are not to your liking, you can press it.

    I only had to press mine once, in the Metabolism paper of my biochemistry finals, when only one of the ten questions was one that I had revised for (and you had to answer three...). Still, metabolism is for losers.

    yeh i have my gcse's through may (then 10 weeks holiday!)

    the only one i dont want to do is my french oral (i dont actually speak any french)

    as far as stress goes there is very little, to get into the 6th form at my school you have to get 5 C's, so apart from the ones i want to do at A-level they dont mean very much, btw whoever it was who was doing a gcse and as lvl early, thats damn crazy (you must be some kind of genius )

    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    Ahaha, sorry I gave the wrong impression. I'm actually doing a Uni degree, so coursework is naturally a bigger thing (well, biggest thing, you know what I mean...)

    My God! You guys CARE about APs!

    I have like, two next week, and I don't even think about even touching anything. "Who cares? Men aren't born equal, I'm above!"

    ...It will be a very painful day when I get my AP scores back. Anyway, what are the APs you people are taking?

    On a side note: Alex[anderofmacedon], I doubt some of us who have to take the SATs are too worried if we have similar AP tests around the corner. The SATs, hard as they are, are really too easy compare to what AP exam tests I've taken so far...

    I´m gonna go through 6 tests on German law in May. They take place within 9 days and every test lasts 5 hours. The possible subjects of the test can be anything that was teached in 4 years of university studies.
