My first trial exam is next wednesday. I am prepared in the sense that I've had my notes written for a while, its just the stress and pressure. I don't know if I can remember all that I need to remember. And I hate how over half of what we do in class and what I make notes for isn't even chosen to be examined. I really worried about one day of my exams because they put English Adv. Paper 2 in the morning then History Extension in the afternoon
I have no idea how well I'll do, I did really well in the half yearlys and came first in business, legal, english adv, ext english and ext history, the only one i didn't come first in was ancient, but now I feel pressured to do really well and if I don't I'll be letting myself down and others. I hate the pressure and stress of exams!!
By the way, I find the best way to study is to write notes and then read them over and over and over and over again. Personally, practice papers don't help me, but thats me. I find that when I do practice papers, I don't take it as seriously as the real thing and I perform much worse in practice conditions then real test conditions. Once again that's just me, the best way to study is what ever way you have felt has done the best for you.
