  1. Hello Tim!

    And Alex, some of the best essays I've written have been under the situation of me writing complete bullshit. Those are my words of encouragement. Good luck!
  2. I'm with Kieran. You spend all night (figure of speech) writing something, fret about it the next day, "Is it good enough?..." and then...relief because it was actually pretty good.

    And, Hi Kieran!
  3. Made-up-on-the-go essays are the best ones I've proved that for maybe 12 years with no signs of being wrong.


    Only downside is when the essay is not an essay but more of a write-your-life-in-no-less-than-25-pages thingy for University... That's a thing you can NOT do in the night or morning before.
  4. I'm actually in the middle of writing an essay, and I can tell right now that it's crap, but it'll probably get a decent mark. If I think it's good, then it turns out that it isn't.
  5. "I aced that exam"

    2 months later...

    "Hmm...an E?"
  6. Yup, it's happened to me before.


  7. That's amazing.

  8. That never happens to me. I never (or very rarely) say "I nailed that exam"... But essays are different stuff. I (We all, I think) can have a great mark in an essay without having the slightest idea
  9. Matt, PM on your way, don't log off as I need a quick answer

    I'd say essays are harder to judge. There's a lot of ambiguity with the marking scheme etc. Have you put enough information in, have you fully justified points made etc.

    Exams are usually easier to judge afterwards, though what you think isn't necessarily what occurs.

    Exactly, nail on the head. Exams are easier to judge - that's why obtaining high marks is harder for people who doesn't study enough (that includes me) xD

  12. Fuck, I only had to say that for you to log off hahaha dam you!!
