Hmmm...this is my plan for tonight and tomorrow.


Tonight:
IC - summarise Ethnography of Communication

Mate if its anything like the exam I had for IC, you will find that this is one of the easiest exams you will ever have to do in your life. Assuming they have still made it multiple choice?
2012-2014. BSc: Neuroscience. University of Melbourne.
2015-2018. Doctor of Optometry. University of Melbourne.

Unlikely to respond to any PMs these days.

It's still 30 MC. How did you revise for the IC exam? I haven't really been attending the lectures and have just been listening to them at home the whole semester, and I hope that I can compensate for the marks I lost in Assignment 1.

I'm seriously not feeling much stress at all though...yet.

Lecture notes, all the answers are there. The tutorials mainly helped me for the assignments. I crammed 6 lectures the day of the exam lol

wouldn't worry too much about not attending the lectures, listening to them is just as ok.

Furbob's SWOTVAC sleepclock: be awake and study til 4pm, have a 2 hr nap, study/facebook/cry til 3am, get to sleep at around 4am, wake up at 10am, rinse and repeat

the good thing about doing 2 arts subs and 2 commerce subs is that usually my commerce subjects are during the first 2 weeks of the exam period and my languages are towards the end so I only study for my commerce subjects during SWOTVAC

exams are always bullshit though so you're never really ready, ever.

My SWOTVAC was just reading all my lecture summaries out to myself and writing/doing practice questions. Seemed to work for me, but ymmv

 I study around 4-6 hours per day in swotvac depending on exam timetables.
Usually catch-up (I am looking at you MTH2021 >_>) then revision -> past exam time.
Usually comes out ok.

Is it best to stop studying the night before an exam? If so, what time do you reckon you should finish? IIRC I've heard 6 or 7 pm before, although it sounds rather arbitrary.

Yeah, I've heard that a lot too, through the years. I think that's sound advice for someone who knows their stuff, just to relax and not stress yourself. But to be honest, if I didn't know shit before an exam, I'd be cramming like a bitch, because there is a lot you can learn in a good 24 hours.

You'd be wanting to not turn up to the exam as a zombie, so you'd probably want enough time for a proper dinner, 8 hours sleep, time to eat breakfast properly in the morning etc. Personally I'd end up doing light reading in the evening and probably end up dreaming about the French Revolution (or epsilon's and delta's, whatever relevant to the particular exam) anyway.

Well that works for me because sleep-deprived state + me + 2 or 3 hour exam generally is not a good mix.

The amount of stuff you can cram in a short period of time is actually amazing...my sister started studying/cramming for a 2nd year pharmacy subject two days before her exam, and ended up getting a unit award for it.

And ironically, the subject that she studied the most for was her lowest scoring one LOL

Right now I'm studying from 10-5.30 (with breaks every hour or two) and then I have a massive de-stress by playing Zelda, and then back to work at 8.30 ahaha

I am starting to feel the stress now, I felt like my hair was falling out all of yesterday night
