Exams start tomorrow...

[nibbler]

... and very important ones at that. Any last minute advice as to what to eat/drink/think on the day of/the night before the exam?

[Phage]

No booze and no caffeine. Apart from that not really. Get the best nights sleep possible.
Good luck !

[shadowmaster]

A good nights sleep. What exam is it, GCSE, A level, Uni?

[kidzer]

My exams start today!

Uni, final year. Exam today at 1430, and one next Tuesday and thats me done with Uni

I don't really have a strategy for exams, I dont eat/drink anything special or do anything out of the ordinary - compared to (almost) everybody else I have a pretty care-free attitude towards exams, I just go there, do the exam and leave. I often seem to give the impression that I don't care, I guess its just how I'm wired though.

Anyways, hope you do well!

Scottish Highers. I'm wanting to apply to Cambridge to move back to england, and basically my applications depends on me getting 5 As this year to get to an interview. Which means an A in english is the only hard bit as I'm fine with the sciences.

Ah highers, I remember those.

Quite a steep step up in workload compared to Standard Grades isn't it?

I did intermediate 2s [instead of standard grades] which are supposed to bridge the gap between the two levels. Even so, it's just so much mroe covered, although thankfully things like maths are second nature to me, I would be very worried if I had to study for that. Wouldn't know where to start.

Ye Jim, I'll maybe have a go at that tactic tomorrow night

No, good luck to everyone.
Mine don't start until the 24th (COMP1 resit anyone ?) and finish on the 24th of next month.

Rock on guys

[nibbler]

At least mine are spread out. I have intervals of 9, 6, 5 and 1 days respectively between english, maths, biology, chemistry, computing.
Good luck to everyone else who has exams

Good luck with the exams and the application to Cambridge What course are you looking to do?

[Haiku32]

I'm so glad I passed English last year, I'd hate to be doing it tomorrow! Good luck though.

My first exam is maths on the 21st, so I have quite a bit of time to study. My marks don't really matter though since I've got an unconditional to uni.

Natural sciences (biology), it starts off pretty general and then you specialise to a specific field. In my case, I want to do biology. The thing that annoys me is that the SQA make the exams easy one year and then hard the next year to compensate. Which is very, very stupid. Guess what it's rumoured to be this year ?

What Uni are you headed to? And is that Adv higher maths?
