My exams for 4 subjects begin in 10 days time. I don't know anything about the subjects i'm about to be examined on. If you gave me the exam today, i would not even know what the questions mean.

Reason: All semester I have not gone to tutorials (except a couple), i have gone to id say 20% of lectures, i failed to submit most of the assignments, and the ones i did submit won't help my grade because i received less than 50%, i have absolutely no notes for any subjects, i have done probably less than 10 hours of study for the semester. this was all in the first half of the semester, the rest of the semester up until now i have done NOTHING.

So my problem is this: what can i do in 10 days to learn enough to pass each 4 exams? or should i be looking at other solutions, such as accepting a fail in one subject and devoting all of my time to just 3? what do i do???? :bomb:

You're a first year, first year subjects are fail proof unless you have Down's.

I'm in the same situation. Although I have been getting better marks for assignments. But yeah, I have nfi about the test and didn't study at all. Just cram, and ask friends for help when you're stuck at something. It should be alright. :)

It depends how well you knew the stuff beforehand... I mean if you studied say Economics in high school, it'll be alot easier to bluff your way through your uni exams.

.... although why you put zero effort in throughout the semester is beyond me considering that uni isn't free.
