P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney...

I remembered what it said! I usually forget things, but I remembered it... The last time I took an exam was a very long time ago, many of the people on my course probably hadn't even started primary school. I still find that hard to believe, I suppose I could define that as being a late developer?! I'm not going to deny that I prefer writing essays and group presentations. I know then that achieving a respectable grade is within reach, just down to understanding the objective and providing relevance. Wikipedia and Google do most of the work whilst I reap the rewards and create the bibliography. With exams everything is down to the clock and how you perform on the day! I revised for a reasonable amount of time, writing and rewriting, drawing circles around important information and using the highlighter excessively. The notes resembled a treasure map when I had finished! Going out probably wasn't the right choice the night before exams but I needed a break and I felt I had absorbed the most important details. Once inside the examination room, I became a fish inside a large bowl, forgetting everything and surrounded by people on my course who were busy scribbling away on their exam paper. I think I did okay, but could have done better...
