no point in geting stressed over it. doing that will just make it harder to study and harder to remember in the test, it is only an english test after all.
i ended up getting to sleep at around 12, got up at 6, made some points about what i would have in my Sect3 essay and that was it.

no matter how screwed you think you are cause you havent studied enough. ( i get noobs saying they are when theyve been doing 3+ hrs of study a day)
it doesnt help to get stressed over it, the test is just designed to asess how well you know what has been taught, if you dont go well in the test then it just means you dont know it as well as you should, nothing to do with how smart you are.
all standard have got paper2 on monday + other tests that week too, just go look at past papers, look at markers notes on the net and see what area most people needed to improve in. go through it all logically and see what needs to be done and then do it in the most efficient and effective way, as best you can. if you do that, then its fine.

BUT, i suggest to everyone to get in early (being 6 HRS AGO) and get cracking on stuff. cause i said id do that in the holidays but i didnt and now im pissed, and the stupid thing is i knew that would happen at the start! Lol.

nah you arent alone!

i dont sleep though because i am nervous even if i am quietly confident about the exam... i start to get butterflies like the night before and i just cant seem to get to sleep... its crazy and not a good way to enter into an exam!

my tips... (which sometimes work) drink a hot chocolate like an hour before you go to bed (or some other caffine free hot drink), go to bed about 15mins before you would normally go to bed.... lie in bed with all the lights off and listen to soft calming music, i dont suggest any kind of rock or heavy metal just something that will calm you down... and then see how u go! :sleep:

Stress/exams has never disturbed my sleep....

Been struggling to get to sleep over the holidays but I think that's because I'm not used to getting up so late...8 compared to 6 during school time

Thursday night I think I went to bed around 10 and fell asleep about 11....I woke up a little early then...ended up getting up at 7 which was dumb coz i had no idea what to do for 2 hours till i had to be at school....couldn't force myself to read the essay again....watched futurama and family guy :rofl:

Just finished typing up all my business notes so they should be cemented in my brain by now.

Probably not, but at least they're done and I've both hand-written and typed them. Should be okay. Except still need to look at the case study, argh.
