Take a break. Take a day off and do something you really enjoy with a few friend sor even on your own. It's obvious you're too stressed out and you need some time and space to freshen up. Do your favourite hobby for a day and forget about the exams completely. Just my tuppence. Hope all goes well for ya, buddy.:)

Take notice of what others are doing. Just relax and take a day off to relax and treat yourself and then get into studying. Studying doesn't have to be difficult.
Maybe try organise a study session with one or two people from your course to take the load off each others shoulders. I'm sure there's various parts of each module that you can easily help each other out with.

Don't worry about it. It really isn't the end of the world. Just take your time and don't panic.

if your having stress issues i would suggest going to see your GP and start introducing stress management techniques into your life such as relaxation and exercising - there is no point studying when stressed out , from a study and remembering point of view you could purchase a digital voice recorder to record your notes and lectures . this has helped me a great deal . hope this helps

Also, you seem uncertain as to how the supplementals go, saying you "think" you'll be kicked out if you fail them, and so on.

Make an appointment with your tutor / department advisor and talk to them about the exams and your worries. They may be able to provide some useful information and/or advice.

You'll have plenty of time to do these things when you're finished, don't pack it in.
Also Facebook photos always make things look more fun then they really are.

A piece of advice from a former Engineering student. I failed 3 exams in 1st year, 5 in 2nd year, 7 in 3rd year and repeated my full final year. Got a 2:2 in the end, thank god.

I think that you need to start being honest with yourself about the quantity and QUALITY of the study you are doing. There seems to be some conflict between studying and wanting to go out. The study thing is short term for long term gain. Going out and socialising needs to be put aside if you want to achieve your dream and you must accept that.

The quality of your study is important – not so much the quantity. If you are studying all the time but still having difficulty there is something wrong. Get some books from the library about how to study and try some new techniques. Make sure you are getting adequate sleep, food and exercise and taking regular breaks. Don’t kid yourself on hours and quality – 3 hrs sitting in the library does not necessarily mean 3 hrs study.

I went through 3 years of kidding myself about study – I really regret that now and all my summers were crap and repeated final year without my mates.
