I'm at the university for the first year and I'll be doing psychology exams tomorrow. The truth is I don't believe I'll make it..

So what happens if you don't pass your exams?

I'll have another try. BUT..I'll have to drive 100 km to another city and the exam test will be much more difficult Our teacher told us that one student had to do this exam 8 times

zaza said:

try your best.

missmad said:

Thanks. I've been preparing for this exam for about two weeks, I think I "know something", but now when I'm re-reading my notes and textbook, I think I will have a "blackout" tomorrow

zaza said:

You'll make it....it's virtually impossible fo fail uni and if you do you'll only need to resit a little bit

Look at me - I have a masters in Biology with Genetics, toxicology, ecology,...lots of ologies and, whils not stupid, I'm not a genius.

zaza said:

Well, even in the worst case scenario you won't have to take it 8 times!

So study the last bits you can, eat well and get lots of rest. That's all you can do at this point. Either you know it or you don't.

zaza said:

Yea that is what I thought about some of my exams. But somehow I do ok. Get a good night's sleep. What time is you exam?

purpledoveuk said:

Wow The reason why I'm afraid of my knowledge of psychology is that I just don't know how to learn effectively. I've never had a reason to learn at the high school and now I have problems with it. I'm just writing notes and re-reading textbook over and over..

missmad said:

We will have normal class (8:00am-2:00pm) and we are going to write our exam during our class (this is just crazy..we don't know WHEN exactly). It's 4 pm right here in the Czech Republic, so I think I'll practice until 8 pm and then just relax..

zaza said:

Don't worry, the point I forgot to mention in the 'look at me' point was that I failed pretty much everything before uni...including biology. I went to college for 2 years after to get qualifications to get me into uni and then did the degrees...I tried all sorts of methods for learning and nothing really clicked or stuck. I did gave to resit Genetics as I was 2 marks off a pass first time around - but oddly uni was the easiest education I've done.

Oh and don't believe the 8 times failed story

purpledoveuk said:

Try to think up memory joggers....

For ecology I had

Kind People Can Open Fairy Godmother Shops

for

Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species

purpledoveuk said:

Thanks for your support Well, I believe that story. Listen, that teacher is crazy. 15 students failed last year in this exam and he called them "The most stupidiest persons in the world" and he wanted them to be fired out of the uni.

missmad said:

Oh no no no no !!!
Because.... ( watch from 0.33 on )..

See, that other student was given 8 chances ! So, it´s not the end of the world.And 100 km aren´t really that much of a distance. Just picture yourself passing the exam, and , I know it sounds weird , also picture yourself in a worst case scenario...what if you DON`T pass the exam? How much would it really affect your life? You still have a second chance.It´s not like some sort of serious disease or something.

I believe you can make it the first time around but don´t fret if you don´t.

Wishing you lots of success.

zaza said:

wow you don't have the day off? good idea 8pm and then try and sleep.

Thank you, kooleaze You are right. I was very optimistic, but now when it's Thursday and tomorrow is "D-Day", I'm nervous.

zaza said:

I'd forgotten until you said - my highschool Biology teacher was crazy too - his whole class failed and then he had a breakdown.

He was so crazy that he told us that a plants Stamen was "like a pair of bollockS swinging in the breeze" ....

They aren't, if anything it's like a very long cock with a big bellend.

He also told us his friend took his wife up the ads when she was pregnant ...mental!!!

Mach said:

Thanks, Mach!

I'll keep you all informed tomorrow about how succesful I was

It's exam week around here, too.
Lots of studying and mild worrying...

Practice up, rest well, and do your best!

Good luck!

awwww


Look at it this way: The average wage in the the Czech Republic is a little over 18,000 CZK which believe it or not 2/3 of employees never reach. How is it that 2/3 of employees never reach this average? It's because the numbers are skewed by employee figures in Prague which is above the average--however the job market there is very competitive.

What I'm trying to say is that you have alternative options in your life. Gay porn, in America can pay you more than the average salary with perks if you're so inclined. Think about it for a while. Let me know your opinion.

There's no way for me to be in gay porn But I agree with all of it. Have you ever been in Prague, Dan?
