It's exam season..
 
 


It's that time of the year again, for those still in school. My final GCSE exams commence tomorrow morning, and I know there's some of you out in the US who have some finals coming up.

Good luck, everyone! :)

pbradley 05.21.2007 05:15 PM

Finals have just ended for me. Three papers and two exams. Knocked my Revolutons of Modernity final out of the park, though. But now....

schoooools out fo summmmmma!

Danny Himself 05.21.2007 05:17 PM

Lucky.

I have 6 to go. I have an english exam tomorrow on 'Of Mice And Men'.

Green_mind 05.21.2007 05:19 PM

haha, that picture brings back memories of my exams, except I had to remain wearing the full school uniform.
Good luck to everyone doing exams, finding your table in them large halls is a bitch.

Alex's Trip 05.21.2007 05:20 PM

Haven't started finals, but our AP tests were done the last two weeks.

Finals will be in 2 weeks, I think.

Being assigned a table usually makes things easier and faster than having a "free seating" arrangement, and trying to find a table/chair combination that won't wobble like crazy for the next 3 hours..

pbradley 05.21.2007 05:30 PM

Never understood that large hall "feel like a sheep" exam style you guys do.

In classroom finals are much easier, also helps in remembering the material since the surroundings are familiar.

Green_mind 05.21.2007 05:42 PM

Yeah I don't know, surely it would easier and faster to feed a single line of students down each row of tables.
Good thing about exams these days is that you have probably already secured yourself near enough with C grades with coursework before you even start them.

Probably. I haven't really been paying much attention in that class.

Hip Priest 05.21.2007 05:55 PM

Good luck to anyone facing upcoming exams.

man, today was my last day of school & my exams start tomorrow.

thank god i exempted french and algebra & have some notes i can use during the test for the rest of them.

Cardinal Rob 05.21.2007 06:36 PM

I'm taking maths a year early and half of our sciences are done a year early for some unknown reason. Really hope the teachers can organise us for this and that I manage to actually get to brushing up on the loose ends that will prevent me from getting A*s across.

SynthethicalY 05.21.2007 09:56 PM

I have my final speech next week, and the week after that, it is my Spanish, and my History speech.

Danny Himself 05.22.2007 11:18 AM

Well I guess I screwed that one up..

I ran out of time when finishing both my essay questions.

king_buzzo 05.22.2007 12:28 PM

Shit, well good luck everyone. I had a 'exam week' in february, so, I'm not having one ow.

ploesj 05.22.2007 12:44 PM

mine starts in about two weeks.. all oral exams.. good thing about those is that the teacher gives some hints or asks further questions if your answer isnt complete enough. bad thing is that you cant wait with answering a question you dont know the answer for immediately.

good luck everyone..

my exams take two weeks.. bleighh

val-holla-ing 05.22.2007 01:44 PM

good luck to everyone!

my exams ended about two weeks ago, so i'm a little more stress free these days.

Washing Machine 05.22.2007 02:14 PM

I got my A Level Music and Media Studies to do soon. God I hate exams

king_buzzo 05.22.2007 02:18 PM

As I said, we don't have exams, but we're getting assfucked right now, essays essays and bloody eassays. fuck.

The Lung 05.22.2007 04:12 PM

I was doing my Physics A-Level Practical exam yesterday and my shitty calculator stopped working so i had to lean over to a spot of sunlight everytime i needed to use it which was shit.

I just have 2 maths and 2 physics exams left but I'm going to Primavera festival next wednesday for 5 days so I'm gonna have no time to revise. Thankfully I don't need to do that well seen as they average your results from last years exams so I'm gonna do fuck all and see what happens. I cannot wait to finally finish and go to art college for a year.

screamingskull 08.11.2007 05:42 AM
