I believe O's starts sometime around 20th October???
Students are definitely stressed, feeling like they're trapped. Some wanna hurry end this misery, some still feel unprepared, some don't bother, some are choked up. Believe me or not, everything will be over soon, way before you even know it.
Fear, anxiety, stress, nervousness, etc, scratch ALL of that. Take them to the back of your heads and you'll be fine.
1. Don't EVER ever deprive yourself of sleep. You may not have finished revising, screw that. You need the sleep to function more than anything else.
2. Make sure you fuel your body's energy as well.
3. Eat something sweet before your papers. Or you can pour some sweet drinks into a thermos flask and bring it into your examination room, throw some ice in if you want :). Something like ribena may help, for sugar rush so your brain may work a little faster in the morning. It really did help in my case.
4. If you can't get the theory, get the definitions, formulae are important!! Memorise every single formula and definition possible so they can guide you to answer theory questions!!
5. Questions these days mostly don't test just your knowledge, there are a lot application questions! You have to learn to apply all your knowledge onto to questions. So it's not pure memorising but how you actually would take them to practical affairs.
6. You should know every single other rule by now so good luck and all the best my friends! ;)
To all those who've received (or haven't, i'm not quite sure) their promotion/retention statuses, congrats to those who've promoted, y'all done really well, and those who've, sad to say, retained, fear not, it's not that you didn't do well, you may have made some mistakes here and there. Fret not! I'm pretty sure everyone have worked really hard and continue to do so and strive for the best!!!! See all of you soon friends! :*
