    Don't get me wrong, I am doing study now.. but I'm hearing people in school saying they're studying from 4pm until 12am non stop where as I'm doing maybe 3 hours tops.

    I'm not too concerned though. I know with two weeks to go, the pressure will kick in and I'll be able to do a fortnight of solid work and have everything fresh in my head. It seems cramming is kind of frowned upon by a lot of people, but I think its essential really. I can't imagine not doing it the day before an exam! There's a lot to be said for short term memory :pac:

    I'm definitley crammer. No matter how well I learn something I forget it straight away!! Only the things that I learn near to the exam are what I remember!

    I don't usually forget things but I never really study so I just end up cramming in the end.

    3 hours? I do barely 15 minutes of work a night, sometimes none at all.

    Dunno if I'd consider myself a 'crammer' but I'm not doing much work at the moment in terms of hours study because I'm one of those people that has consistently done their work throughout school (homework, study for class tests etc). As well as that, I work quite well under pressure and don't really get around to doing anything unless I feel I have to. Starting to up the workload slightly, eg did four hours of work on Tuesday, but then I sat and did absolutely nothing yesterday. Bring on the pressure.

    I'll hopefully (!) start proper study tomorrow. I know it's late but what harm! I'm yet to finish the economics course (I do the subject by myself at home), only 2 chapters left. Haven't done revision for it yet as I wanted to get the course finished first. Slightly worried that I'll have only a month of doing exam papers, when I also have 7 other subjects to worry about! :P I feel prepared for 3/4 subjects such as English, French, Irish and a little for biology, but that's it..
