    Default Why do we mess up exams?

    Why do we mess up exams?

    A year has 365 days for you to study.


    After taking away 52 Sundays, there are



    only 313 days left.


    There are 50 days in the summer that is



    way too hot to work so there

    are only 263 days left.


    We sleep 8 hours a day, in a year, that



    counts up to 122 days so now

    we're left with 141 days.


    If we fooled around for only 1 hour a



    day, 15 days are gone, so we

    are left with 126 days.


    We spend 2 hours eating each day, 30



    days are used in this way in

    the year, and we are left with 96 days

    in our year.


    We spend 1 hour a day speaking to



    friends and family, that takes

    away 15 days more and we are left with

    81 days.


    Exams and tests take up at least 35



    days in your year, hence you are

    only left with 46 days.


    Taking off approximately 40 days of



    holidays, you are only left with

    6 days.


    Say you are sick for a minimum of 3



    days, you're left with 3 days in

    the year to study!


    Let's say you only go out for 2 days!



    You are left with 1 day!


    But that 1 day is your birthday...



    so...


    GOOD LUCK to everyone on your exams.


    srry for any bad spelling

    hehe sounds like its straight out of a chainmail. Cool stuff, but if you wanted to work it out accyrately you add up the time you get in a year of lessons in hours and then devide it back into 24's and you have a count closer to truth.

    This was in a chain mail long ago. I remember reading it, one of my school friends had sent it to me. But that doesn't make it less funny or kewl . Main reason we mess up exams is because we spend too much time reading chain mails or conjuring them up

    Score 1 to me!

    I mess up exams because all I ever do is procrastinate and never revise.

    I'm going to totally screw up my exams this year. I did revise quite a bit, but I have way too many problems in my life at the moment, and I'm falling apart trying to juggle everything. To put it bluntly, exams are the least of my worries... :\

    Some people just suck at testing. My school's top student didn't do well on tests at all. In fact, I did better than she did on all the standardized tests. Some people just can't get down the test format.
