I really really don't agree with exams at all. To me, they just pile unnecessary pressure onto teenagers, who, lets face it, aren't always in the brightest of moods anyway. I feel I always under perform due to panic and worry, which makes me worry even more because I don't know if I got the grades I needed. Its a very stressful time.
Some people also find it easier when their exams are further apart, where as it makes the whole experience worst to me, because of the wait. Once I'm actually sat in the hall writing my answers I'm fine, its the build up of anxiety and panic that I really really hate. I'd rather just get them over and done with in a short period of time, rather that have as much as a week between them.
Yet another thing I dislike is the time limit. how, HOW am I supposed to plan and write three good quality essays in two and a half hours. HOW! this just seems impossible to me. It would take me a good 4354654332 hours to do that at home under no pressure and time limit. It's ridiculous!

Revision. Revision revision revision. How you labour me. can I just point out, that what....7 years of Exams, I am STILL yet to find my 'Revision technique' you know, that mysterious thing teacher ramble on about and assume that you've 'found'. Errrrrrrrm are you sure that exists? really? because I have tried EVERYTHING. Trust me. And the information still doesn't stick in my head. At all. I'm due to sit my last and final (thank god) Exam in my comp/sixth form. EVER. I have literally spent the day learning and learning and learning and learning and learning. And I cannot remember one little thing.
so basically....Whoever thought 'HEY lets put every student in the most uncomfortable situation, stretch it out for weeks and then make them cram everything into the space of two hours! that will be so much fun! :)'.....well lets just say I DISLIKE THEM.
