How is exam prep going people?
Pretty poorly
Spent all day today studying for one exam though ^__^
But I'm not even through a quarter of the content.

Looks like I'll be winging them all.
How're you going with it?

Hmm, not that good. I've been studying a bit but not enough. Have been procrastinating quite a bit. I'm going into my first two exams with a d average, I want to do really well to keep it up there, but I'll just be happy to get it over with haha.

8th, 9th and 10th, UWS fu*ked up the exam timetable for most students this sem. Which makes it hard for med kids including myself, who have to cover a sh*t load of content from different statistics, psychology, ethics, biochem, science, anatomy, radiography/physics lecturers/units, pracs etc. It's usually pretty spaced out, but their stupid program grouped exams for courses this sem, heaps of department heads had to apologise to our faculty, because of it.

The computer system f'd with everyones timetable this sem (i.e. grouped exams for certain courses, etc rather than spacing them out as usual), hopefully it won't happen next sem.

Actually, you're supposed to turn it off :)

If its on silent, you can hear it buzz and you can still get noted for misconduct during the exam.

Plus - if you put it on silent like some dopes have done in my exams before, that doesn't necessarily mean the alarms and reminders on your phone are silent cause some phones still play volume on those. Especially stupid when you leave it in your pocket rather than putting it on the floor and an alarm starts going off cause it makes it seem like you're getting a phone call.

Oh yeah, turning them off would be even better, I did hear faint buzzing in my last exam... I personally have my vibrate turned off, it annoys me.

Nice to see new faces on this forum. I had 3 D's and a HD before the finals. The end result will probably be 2 D's and 2Fs, or 2 Ds 1 C and 1F. I hate the finals, i think i have this finalophobia lol. By the way open book exams suck, especially law. Even if I had 10 hours to finish corporate law exam it wouldnt have been enough. Anyways good luck everyone.

Ahhh it's so far away :(

Mmhmm... Had my phone off in all the exams. SO MANY PEOPLE forgot to even put them on silent. Was annoying.

By the way open book exams suck, especially law.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Law exams were open book, I'd fail all mine.
Torts - Got a distinction in the 35% mid-semester exam... Stopped going to class after that week. Didn't study at all. The night before, I downed a bottle of wine instead of studying. Rocked up with a billion random notes and pretty sure I've done well.

If it wasn't for the fact that it was open book, though, I would be freaking out.

I'll start things a little early as i received my marks for the final essay for BAS.
47.7/60+36.30/40 before the final = 84 - Distinction.:burn:
