GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAH!!!!!

Sorry, just needed to express my frustration!

Yet again I have exams tomorrow (am at med school), and yet again have majorly messed up on revision! Just not done any, really, just still finding it so hard to get down to it.

It will be ok - it always is - but I hate feeling such a fraud, not helped by all my housemates (who all manage to get down to work) barely emerging from their rooms all day except to get tea and mutter 'oh my god, there's just SO much more to this module than the others....'

And I'm thinking 'Gaah, I've barely started!' But can't tell them that as they look at me askance and a) don't really believe how little work I've done and b) get angry with me cos they think I'm being lazy.

So I keep my mouth shut and kind of play along with having worked - it seems easier - they can't understand quite how hard I find revision week. And, frankly, why should they? We all have our issues.

Anyway - I know I hardly ever post on here and when I do tis usually pre-exam time when am having a stress - I guess I just know that whoever reads this understands exactly what it feels like. Feel free to ignore me, I'm just having a rant!

Bottom line - it will be fine, I've managed to get through exams so far, but I just hate the process so, even if I know they're just a means to an end.

Again, best of luck to anyone else out there going through the same thing!

Right back to (not!) working....

I'm doing my GCSE and BTEC exams right now and I haven't been able to revise properly either.

Revision is just plain hard!

Good luck in your exams I hope you do well!

hey boone

I did my GCSEs 11 years ago (God, am I that old!!), somehow struggled through them...

Just hang on in there and don't let anyone put you off your stride, different people study differently (or not very much in my case!). But keep trying your best and chipping away and what will be will be.

And life is SOOOOOOO much better when you have got through all your exams!

Teachers/friends like to pretend they're the be all and end all - yes, it helps to get good grades but there's so much more to life than just jumping through the hoops of exams.

Good luck!

Revision? Like revising a paper?

Also, I know what you mean...I was never treated for ADHD until AFTER grade school. I am now in the summer after my first year of college.
