Students

Exams. Who needs them? They are a test of memory rather than of understanding. Well, thats my opinion anyway. They test your performance on a particular day without taking into account the rest of the work you've already done.

I can see the other side though, writing an essay with the books open in front of you doesn't show you understand the subject, just that you know how to do some research. I don't know what the happy medium is, but I just know I hate exams.

Exams don't make me nervous, and I usually do ok in them, but I do think they are unneccesary stress that doesn't help learning at all.

I also worry about everyone else, I try and help them, but all I really want to do is scream "Read a book!"

As you've probably guessed, I have exams tommorow. This really isn't helping my revision, but I'm not doing very well with that at the moment, just had to get that off my chest.

Oh and I hate how they have adverts for revision after Neighbours. I know I'm supposed to be revising, I don't need you Aunty Beeb reminding me that I'm not!
