It's that time of semester again, where you find yourself drinking a bucketload of coffee at 3am to cram out those last few assignments. Then comes the momentary sigh of relief, before you realise you've still got a million exams coming up too...
And once all that's said and done, you might find yourself feeling a little like this:
But it doesn't have to be this way! Wanna know how to avoid the wrath of the exam monster? Join us here at 8pm AEST on Monday 29th May to find out! 😛

No idea about the first question, if in doubt pick c.
I have taken alot of exams in my life so far and many more to come. My best was an English exam in year 12 where I got 98% correct even though I had little time to study due to a friend being in the hospital, my worst my year 12 Japanese speaking exam, where I literally gave up and said some weird things to the questions answered.

The possibility of failure is a big stress thing for me in regards to exams. And not just because it's in my nature to want to do well, but because other things are often dependent on our performance in exams e.g. if you fail a unit in uni you have to pay (eventually) to do it again, and in high school there was heaps of emphasis placed on exams being so important to our eligibility for future study

For me it's the preparation that stresses me out. It's quite hard for me to concentrate and it's taken me a lot of practice to learn to get through chunks of study and preparation. So i can get into a bit of a cycle of worrying about studying and not doing enough study, and then getting stressed and distracted by this and then not studying enough and then being stressed about that.... etc.

Good point about the preparation being difficult in itself. I think I'd like to revise my earlier answer to include that idea too!
Also, @roseisnotaplant that is a great meme!!

As for the second part, I don't rate exams. They fall into two categories. "Incomplete" and "Complete/forgotten"originally posted on 29-05-2017 8:16 PM
@Ben-RO that had better not be the first question or everyone will just leave! 😛How many exams have you done in your life? What was the best, what was the worst?
I am so not interested in counting.them but the answer is too many. Although at uni I've only done one/two exams per semester so that's pretty neat 😄

I've done a myriad of assessments - from SACs to NAPLAN to ICAS, as well as many other terrifying looking acronyms. My first proper 'exams' are coming up next week though. (I mean I technically did Year 10 exams last year but it's complicated 😛 I'm in a weird program where stuff happens out of order... I don't understand it either.)
