Not really, apart from the obvious mate.
Just chill out.
You won't do so well if you're stressed.
So just do your best and relax about it.

Actually I'm more worried about the essays for Friday, next Friday and the Monday after...
Don't want a repeat of my dissertation all-nighter!

Not enough loan left!
Trust me, I thought about it...
Although I suspect some of them might be gay... do I really want a 2:1 that badly? Hmmmmm!

Early nights, get off the pc and get some fresh air .. it's not guaranteed to get the work done but at least you'll feel refreshed confused

Grrrrrrrrr! A 2:1 will do me fine (although it's heading towards the Desmond Tutu at the moment - luckily I'm not at a piss-take uni), but fortunately my job's safe whatever I get... as long as I don't fail!
:shock:

you got a job already?? what the hell are you worried about for then?
but I'd take bluexxx's advice. Maybe a very good way to expand your horizons whilst ensuring you top marks and all that.

Is that the bribes or increasing the pressure to get a 1st?

prepare physically and mentally. I always have at least 2 pints of water 2 hours before an exam (time to pass through renal system) and a carbohydrate snack about 1/2 hour before. These stop you from dehydrating (tiredness, sluggish and forgetfull) and your brain gets it's energy from the carb snack (brain only uses carbs(glycogen) for energy.
Also get a good night's sleep and don't study night before have a rest.
Good Luck

You could do a search on the 'net, or ask at your university. They will have some sort of counselling service that gives advice on how to combat stress. Best of luck. I used to work as a lecturer & have more than my fair share of degrees rolleyes

, but I always had a problem with exams. mad

I have four exams next month so I know how you feel.
My only tip is bullet point the main topics of each subject which covers the main facts and figures etc.
Try and relax and they will be over soon.
Good luck.

I've only got three...
...it's my essays that are worrying me a little more than anything...
...but at least I've got a job whatever, phew!
What uni you at?

Very bloody hard, but very interesting

Although personally, nothing annoys me more than Durham students' snobbery...

That is a very generalistic comment. Please don't tare everyone with the same brush.
I am no more a snob than you are.
