well... it is mainly a question to students here, but replies from ex-students is well apreciated too

so... how often do you have days like that, that you cannot concentrate on anything... and you fail your tests because you fell asleep during the test?? :P

I should study to re-take my test in maths and physics

blah

Verbal · 01-07-2006, 04:52 PM

Yikes, I'm sorry! I certainly have had days like that, although usually on test day I consume gallons of coffee.

I couldn't stand coffee any more... I haven't slept for 2 nights, 2 days... maybe it's too much coffe??

Hertz van Rental · 01-07-2006, 06:07 PM

You can have times like that. I was put on probation in my second year for screwing up. Got through in the end though.
Have you tried talking to your tutor? You should have a personal tutor who may be able to help.

ShutteredEye · 01-07-2006, 06:28 PM

Well, i'm going to go out on a limb here and say that 2 days and 2 nights with no sleep may just be 2 too many.

At some point your body just shuts itself down, regardless of what you're doing--including taking tests.

There are many reasons why this can happen - many are not obvious to us but they are to others. I'd still have a chat with your tutor.

Alison · 01-08-2006, 03:35 PM

Good luck with the retest! I've fallen asleep doing homework though not during an exam.

duncanp · 01-09-2006, 10:38 AM

Hertz!!!
You know what?! I want to thank you VERY VERY VERY much

Why? Because I went to my tutor... actually I didn't know what I was going to say her, but after a few seconds of our chat, she told me that was is impossible that I scored... I haven't scored... well.. I haven't received even 1 point on the test and she asked me if I wanted to write this test right then. she was so shocked that I got 0 points out of 4 during the first test, while the whole group almost aced in the test. Of course I agreed! I do wanted to write it once again when I weren't tired. I wrote the whole test in 7 minutes and got 3,5 points out of 4. I got everythig well done, but she told me that she couldn't give me max points because I wrote the test for a second time.. and I'm with her here

I'm so happy!!!! And it's everything thanks to you Graham! I listened to you and went to her!!!!

Verbal · 01-10-2006, 02:12 PM

Congrats Aleksandra, that's great!

Congrats, you must have some very understanding teachers

Becky · 01-10-2006, 02:58 PM

Good luck Mentos, I'm doing exams at the minute as well, I've fallen asleep revising many times cos its just soooo exciting learning about the thermal processes going on inside double glazing (who knew?), ahem, not.

Don't worry! I'm sure you'll do well if you know it all, we all have off-days!

Get some sleep... I usually find that if I stay up when I should have gone to bed that I don't remember any of the stuff anyway!

Like Hertz says you should talk to your personal tutor if you have one, I don't and its a pity I say.

actually it is not my personal tutor... I had one in high school in physics, but now it would be too much for my budget :P:P I'd rather save cash for camera hehe

I talked to my teacher at university

bace · 01-10-2006, 04:01 PM

Is it crazy for someone to have an unusually strong crush on a internet forum alias?

I mean, mentos might not even be real, but I still have a crush on her...

...trallalaaaa.

In UK Colleges and Universities you are assigned a personal tutor who 'looks after' a bunch of students. They may or may not teach you in class but they are there to help you with everything - problems in College and in your private life. The service is free here.
I used to be one when I was head of Faculty. You behave like a surrogate parent as most of the students are away from home for the first time.

Glad you got it sorted, Alex. You should always talk to a tutor if you have any problems. They are all on the same side as you, and you are all working towards the same goal. Education is a team effort

And Bace, Mentos is very real and far, far better in real life. I know, I've hugged her (and LaPhoto and Vixenta - drew the line at Rob though)
