One in Dale End and one at the NEC I'm sure there was another one as well, or at least rumoured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted July 20, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 20, 2019 I had THAT dream again. The one where I'm at school, the exams are starting, and I haven't done ANY revision. I'm 65, FFS. I left school nearly fifty years ago. And still I get that dream. It's horrible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that one too, but more recently I've been having dreams involving waves, from small ones that suddenly wash right up the beach ruining my trousers to full on tsunamis. I half expect myself to wake up in a pool of piss but I don't. Dreams are weird, I wonder if they serve any evolutionary purpose.

mjmooney Posted July 20, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 20, 2019 Lots of people report having that exam panic dream, but I wonder: do people who actually revised diligently before their real life exams also experience it? Because in my case, it's pretty close to reality - I always skived and did the bare miniumum to get by, and ended up cursing myself before every exam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I found exams easy tbh, especially by the time I got to uni, good memory and selective on the questions, nail the ones you know then try and use the rest of the time to blag the ones you don't, even better if it's selective which ones you can answer Coursework I mostly found boring and procrastinated, so much of it seemed to be them checking that you can source, read and reference someone elses opinion rather than your own Presentations are my kryptonite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always got the self-loathing and resolution never to do it again before the exam - but once I was in the room I was steely cool and an expert blagger. Never had any coursework that counted for results at all in my day, so that wasn't applicable. It was all on the exam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never did any coursework that didn't count for results Think that came in a couple of months in to my a levels, my girlfriend at the time will probably tell you a levels are the hardest thing she ever did in her life, that was because she spent about 30 hours a week doing coursework that didn't count towards the result, I read up on it and made sure I understood it but write a 10k word essay in 2 weeks that ultimateky means nothing?

Many years ago we had a holiday in France with my mate and his wife. We found a nice spot on the beach near two very attractive young French women - who proceeded to strip down to bikini bottoms. Our wives: "Actually, this isn't a very good spot, let's move somewhere else" Me and my mate: "No, it seems fine to us, let's stay here". We had to back down when we got the double death stare. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
