Tonight I'm gonna stay up all night, get on a bus at 7 in the morning. Might take some ecstacy around 4 so I don't need to piss or feel hungry during the test, just to be safe ya know?

I can't believe I paid €1.45 for a 2B pencil today.

I bought two.. they cost a whopping €1.55 each! €1.55!!!
I also bought a rubber, an amazing one. And today somebody threw it out the window! Whinge whinge whinge.
But it's fine.. because I stole his instead. Hmph.

I also bought myself a manly looking digital watch. Because otherwise I'm sure I'll run out of time. And the women's digital watches were like.. €80. Whereas I got myself a nice butch one for €28.

I think I'm prepared. I think.

Anyone else getting the jitters? Bahhhh.

Dubs · 13-02-2009 9:33pm

Damn you!

Anyway, as I'm leaving the interweb I'd just like to say:
Good luck everyone!

Here, hopefully we'll all survive anyway. And hopefullllllllly we'll all be seeing each other in September!

QueenOfLeon · 13-02-2009 9:42pm

O god...startin 2 panic....has any1 got any last minute advice? all iv done is the sample book cos my careers teacher didn help us at all and sed that wud do...wot shud we be doin now d night b4 it?

deex · 13-02-2009 9:45pm

good luck everyone! oh man im terrified... going to bed anyway!

to dream of problem solving, empathy and stupid patterns filled with dices and hearts and numbers in seemingly random order =D how fun!

deex · 13-02-2009 9:47pm

anne marie - you'll be grand! honestly no matter what they say about doing fancy courses and stuff i dont believe it'll help you that much.. you can look up UMAT (the aussie hpat) online if you want and look at some questions but i'd say the best thing you can do is go to sleep! you cant improve much late night cramming! good luck tho!

theowen · 13-02-2009 9:49pm

are people actualy going to bed now :eek: methinks that getting 12 hrs sleep could be a bad idea

deex · 13-02-2009 9:53pm

im going to bed now, yeah, at 9, but i'm getting up at 6:15 and dont think im gonna sleep well so im taking all the bed-time i can get!

QueenOfLeon · 13-02-2009 9:54pm

thanks deex!! i can only imagin how panickd evry1s guna be 2moro!! is any1 else goin 2 d sligo centre? it filled up really quick so hopefully thers not 2 many ther!! it says on all the hpat and acer websites that no preperation courses will help...hope thats right!!

:D

QueenOfLeon · 13-02-2009 9:57pm

yno on the email they sent, sayin you must bring your HPAT-Ireland Admission Ticket (with required details completed on the back)

are those just the id details?

deex · 13-02-2009 9:58pm

no prob :P i'm really panicky too but i guess theres nothing i can do about it so i'm trying to take it easy.. not really working!
i'm in the UCD blackrock, my main worry is not being able to find it even with my map and directions haha! and then not being able to find the room im supposed to go to! there'd better be LOADS of signs! :P
i do think prep courses wont help much... my friend got the same average results before and after her courses so i dont think theres much difference!
what kinda scores are you guys getting for section 1 btw? im getting about half them right every time.. i havent got a clue if thats good or not!!

Camih · 13-02-2009 9:59pm

I'm absolutely terrified for tomorrow!!! going to bed soon though cause just finished two weeks of mocks - not good timing:P what average in the practise test is everyone else getting?

deex · 13-02-2009 9:59pm

i was wondering that myself!! i've nothing on the back of mine, just the ID details under it.. and i probably have those filled out wrong since im using an ID letter! :S

Yup. If youre bringing your passport just write down your passport number.

And chill out, seriously. There's no point panicking.

deex · 13-02-2009 10:00pm

i'm getting about 50% in section one, about 90 - 100% in section 2, and about 55 - 60 % in section 3! what about you guys?

Camih · 13-02-2009 10:02pm

I'm using my provisional license or passport(havent decided) you just fill in your passport number/license number and country it was issued from in that section i think!

Camih · 13-02-2009 10:03pm

erm cant remember details exactly but it worked out at 222 overall

QueenOfLeon · 13-02-2009 10:06pm

Tanx!!
iv ben gettin round 80% in A, 90% in B but only about 50% in C....but thats been spaced out, iv nevr sat down for 2 nd a half hours...but iv timed each section seperatly nd itz been ok:P

Camih · 13-02-2009 10:11pm

sillymoo · 13-02-2009 10:17pm

Good luck to all you doing the HPAT tomorrow! Thinking of you and hope it goes well

shamoono · 13-02-2009 10:17pm

my average was something like 50, 90, 85 ..... %

Anyway I'm feeling lucky cause I got some of my anti-anxiety medication that work for a long time.

:D:D:D I can only use it on special occasions, like tomorrow.

Any way, good luck every body, looks like I will see some of you tomorrow at Trinity but won't know who is who.

I'm fairly sure it's just grey on white anyway, that's how it looks on my screen.

If ya look a few pages back there's a difference of 3000 between the number someone got when they registered early, and mine which was about a week before the closin date, so over 3000 doing the test anyway. Sorry I can't put your mind at ease.

Piste · 14-02-2009 12:06am

I think it's something like 10 people for every place

GAH I had not thought about a watch...bollox....
