Mental Stamina.. (1 Viewer)

[hurikai]

So basically, trials are coming up and our exams are becoming bigger and chunkier.

Maths has changed from 1.5 hour exams to 3 hour exams and instead of being tested on 1 module at a time for english, we get them in chunks of 3. (As it is in the actual HSC)




Does anyone else feel like they can't last through a 3 hour exam? By the end of 2 hours I just basically find the quality of my concentration dipping and the quality of my responses dropping. Also, I keep getting neck strain.




Do you guys have the same problem/have ways of dealing with it?

the exam room clock becomes my friend

i dunno, i just get into 'exam mode' and dont have too many troubles. I always make sure i have a nice rubbery/grippy pen though, those plastic bic ones destroy your fingers

 

[Kujah]

Yeah, I experienced the same thing. After 2-2.5 hours, I start to feel fatigued and all that but I guess as you experience the 3h of exams more and more, your "stamina" will start to increase I guess that your body's still trying to cope with the jump from a 1.5-2 to a 3h exam.

 

[hurikai]

Yeah... I'm scared I'll bomb out in the last sections and run out of time or something

Guess it's just a matter of practice

 

[kevinx2]

I always do the hard essay type questions first. It's a pain, because i usually like procrastinating...doing the hard stuff last....and running out of time :mad1:

Yeah 3 hours seems a lot, study seminars etc all say that your brain works best within the first hour or so..
My first 3hour'er is tomorrow =(

 

[Wassup?]

Well, tomorrow I have 6 hours of exams. Yep, 2 exams on the one day, and they're also my hardest exams. haha

[Caitlin63]

Yeah that sucks.. I hate how other schools have their trials spread out over almost a month... and I have seven exams crammed into eight consecutive school days, two days off, then school again.
