What a shower of nutjobs. I didn't study English all year, there's not much to it: you learn off quotes from poems, Macbeth, know the outline of your texts and your sorted. Other than that its really all down to your ability to write well.

You've hit the nail on the head

I've been going to bed at around 10 each night. of course that involved film watching and music listening, but in essence, in bed with lights off.

Think I'll write up a my notes on Walcott and Bishop... then Write up my notes on the Comparative and Macbeth Quotes... then bed by half 11. The wake up extremely early and CRAM in the study hall... I'm lucky with the fact I already know all the texts quite well and don't actually need to study But I will as I want a decent grade in this.

You sort of want to do that bit of last minute study to get the chance to boost your grade . . . . .

Plan to go to bed now and get up early to go over poets. Like to have the structure of my answers fresh in my head

Know Macbeth pretty well and know plenty of quotes, haven't learnt any previous essays though so hope it goes well!

Comparative - grand..

Don't forget unseen poetry everyone!

I didn't go to sleep last night. spent about 7hrs studying maths. it definitely paid off, I'd say I would have failed if I didn't. haven't studied all year btw

CRAMMING FTW

Since tonight is my first time looking at most of the poets, and all of the Comparative, I shall be up for a while yet.

Ding ding! We have a winner. I agree, I'm completely the same even though we covered 5 poets in classes along with cultural context in great detail and also a bit of theme/issue, but it has all goneee out my head . Anyone else feel a bit the same? As in, no study all year and now covering everything?

Im in that boat

OxfordComma

I'm going for Medicine so I've been studying since September. I don't know anyone else who's been working as long as me!

I haven't stayed up late so far. I got a nice early night for Maths today and I think it might have helped.

I'm going to have late nights next week tho. Irish Paper 2 and History are the worst. I feel like I'm going to have to re-learn those courses, cos I don't think I know them very well at all! Needed to study for them at the weekend... Having English moved really ****ed me over to be perfectly honest.

Covered half of the comparative in an hour, so I should have plenty of time to get the whole lot in.
I wish it had been in my head in the first place. :P

OxfordComma

Oh yeah, just to clarify, the fact that I've been studying for months hasn't really helped at all. I still have to learn EVERYTHING again cos you just forget it all so quickly.


Don't feel bad for only starting now. You're the sensible ones in a way

Im just remembering the start of 5th year, The principal , Vice principal and ALL my teachers were like don't leave it till the last second to study, start now, and i thought ,, 'ahh goway 2 years away ill be grand'.... now im just thinking 'Oh Crap:S:S

ya-ba-da-ba-doo

Topsnakebite

yep guess i am,just gonna go over phili crucible and truman have no clue about them

Did another all-nighter tonight.

However, I didn't properly start until around four. Really regretting that. I was just so bolloxed when I came home from Geography, and I went to sleep around six. Woke up at ten, was doing nothing really. Said I'd study all night, and, argh...

I know my comparative pretty well~ Cultural Context, that is! Really praying that will come up. I could bull**** theme and issue/etc, but I wouldn't have it in detail, since I wouldn't really have the time to look over it. Really worried about Macbeth; I only have a very vague idea of what goes on where. Eeep! Watched some Macbeth videos on Youtube a while ago though; one particularly striking one was Judi Dench playing Lady Macbeth during the sleepwalking. Gave me chills, it did!

GallowsGhost

Pulled an all nighter yesterday for geography, came home and went to bed for three hours and then up all night again at English. Looking forward to some prober sleep tonight!

xFROSTY Gx

I think last night was the first time in my life I studied on a Friday:o:rolleyes:

Aisling(",)

Ive been doing a bitta work since september and i worked fairly well through 5th year but im not gong to be staying up all night studying.

that being said i did go to bed at four in the morning last night because i was on the phone...good thing i dont need much sleep:P

GVNDNN

I haven't crammed really at all, mind you i woke up at 5:30 to study this morning for english, kept falling asleep :rolleyes:

Idjit

Tonight I think I'm gonna take a break from studying. I'm totally brain-tired and although I do feel guilty,every time i look at my books my head goes fuzzy and i start daydreaming. So im chilling out tonight and hittin the books again first thing tomorow.

Richard Cranium

I've been studing since day one. During the year I'd stay up til 11 or very occasionally 12 studying and doing homework and the like, and then be in bed about an hour later. I always thought that I'd keep tipping away during the exams themselves but I've found that for the past few weeks I've been shattered, and it's been an achievement to get even an hour or two done of late.

At this stage I think getting enough sleep is more important than cramming. That said, if I didn't stay up on Thursday night, I would definitely not have done as well in maths.

Red Crow

I can't say I've been studying all year. I haven't been going to bed either or have I been cramming at night. Just watch 8 out of 10 Cats with Jimmy Carr and his intelligent jokes give you inspiration and a lighter tone to take the exam the nest day.... lol
