Exam Blues =(
It has reached a point where the intensity gets hotter by the day as the countdown to my UOL examinations draw to a near. May 15-21 are either make or break days, and crucial preperations for them have gone underway. Exam blues !!! Yes, that's what I always face at this time of the year.
Unusually faced with the pleasant scenario of being overly prepared with around 3 weeks to go, unlike my usual bad habit of doing last minute studies. I'm shooting to add to the 2 A's I scored for Economics and Mathematics last year. Of course, first, second and third Honors all depends on grades. But I've never admitted the fact that it is even possible to achieve a First Class Honors no matter how many hours I put into my studies.
This course is simply madness, the toughest of the toughest test a mind can take. And it really takes shear determination for an invidual to last the course, not to mention ultimately being awarded a worthy Certificate. However, this year im unfazed by the situation and the huge obstacles ahead of me. Going into Sociology which warrants a passing rate of less than 50% every year, and Informations Systems which revampation of the course makes it very technical. Self-Belief is the secret formula, continually doing revisions and paying attention in class of course do help. Dropping Accounting which is my weakest subject for the next semester is a great advantage too, hence I can be totally focused on other modules which I take greater interest in.
If the actual paper is gonna be around the same standard or easier than the mock paper itself, then that is sure to be great news to me. But I do not expect anything 'basic' from London Examiners judging from experience and their workshops. Where they expect you to know everything and gain better understandings by additional reading from outside sources, something which I fail to do too well. But let's face reality, the texts and notes itself is already thicker than an Encyclopedia so if i'm not one to study 24/7 then it is impossible to achieve. I have better things to do with my own social life and time of relaxation, rather than continually source for outside materials to read.
So yea, wishing myself the best in my revisions and the actual papers itself.
