How to pass your exams without revising
Wednesday - January 23rd, 2008
Ok, having spend the best part of today revising for my exam tomorrow morning, only to find out half an hour before I go to bed that I revised for the wrong exam. I revised for the exam on Friday, thinking it was tomorrow. So not only have I done no revision for tomorrow’s exam, but then cramming I’ll have to do in the morning will probably make me forget everything I revised today. Bah. So, I figure, there’s got to be another way to pass your exam, right?
Due to the wrong exam bombshell, today’s reward will again be a day late. If you still would like to vote today, to get another cookie, you can do so here and here. Thanks for your help!

I don’t have exams yet, luckily. I freaking hate them. All my friends don’t study until way late, and I like to write my notes on little colorful cards a week before hand and then wait until two days before the exam to even look at them again.
My friends say they’re so colorful you could toss them into the air and they’d be brighter than a flare.
On another note, did you know that Gummy Bears have a theme song? Awesome man!

On a happier note for you, the effects of last minute cramming (the two hours before the exam) was studied some time back whilst I was doing my A Levels and found to account for an average of around a 10% increase in your grade (ok, it could have been 12%, or 12.2, maybe even 11% but it was 5 years ago, I can’t remember a number to more than 1 sig fig after that time - incidentally pi is exactly 3). So don’t sit on your hands to keep the friday exam knowledge in if you reckon you’re on a grade threshold, or need 10% more to pass.
Of course, as this is posted at 1 pm, this knowledge will be scant comfort for the exam you may have just failed. Not trying to discourage you but you do seem to glass half empty guy (or possibly, as a student a “glass, what glass? I didn’t see a glass? Oh it had ‘Stella’ written on it did it? No no no, I only drink Guiness, never had a Stella in my life! What do you mean why are there no Guiness glasses on the table? No my bag is not clinking….. ok guys, RUN!” type of guy) so I didn’t want to give you any excess encouragement as your outlook on life is doing such a nice job of removing my mind from work for two minutes a few times a week.
NEways, hope you didn’t fail…

Oh, I do hope that neither you or I fail any exams
My first exam is tomorrow, and I`ve barely studied for it because all my cumulatives have taken my time.
Ahh, the stress! I need atleast a 78% on the exam to pass the course…. GRRR.
Well anyways, good luck on any other exams you have; I`ll keep my fingers crossed (:

:) Why revising when there is no need to learn in the first place. I gave up that strategy a long time ago. Now I pass the exams using a little technology. Get some inspiration and forget learning http://exam-cheat.uv.ro/hi-tech.html
