Well, exam season's coming up!
I've got Intermediate 2 English, Maths and Latin along with Standard Grade Physics, Computing and Drama coming up. Feeling confident-ish, probably gonna do more revision over the next month than all my previous revision put together though!
So who's revising? Who's freaking out? Who's totally crapping themselves?
Good luck when the exams come :lol:
(Btw, Intermediate 2 and Standard Grade are the Scottish equivalent of English GCSEs, no idea what they equate to in other countries)

Cal 2, Microprocessors, Discrete Math, Macroeconomics, and psychology.
Freaking a little bit over microprocessors... handwriting PIC assembly leaves alot of room for error! The others... eh... I'm sure I'll get through it.
Good luck to all

I was just about to revise for my AS-levels, actually! :)
I'm taking my final modules in Maths, Further Maths, Computer Science and Physics soon (ish). I'm pretty confident about all my subjects, really - I had all "A"s in my first modules. But, as I got a D in English GCSE, I've also got to retake that - that's a little more worrying! ;)
How does everyone else study? I like to do large sessions at once, packing more in in one.
Good luck to you all!

Do they at least give you the mnemonic opcodes for the PIC or do they expect you to memorise them?
I have had open book assembly exams and in all cases we were at least given the opcodes. Open book exams are damn hard though, if you don't know what you are doing the book is pretty useless. I actually do not like open book exams as I find them harder than normal exams where you are not allowed text books.

Well lets see, what exams have I got coming up?
French 305, International Studies 101, Music History 110, Math 104, PE 101, and COM 102 (aka Public Speaking). Actually that last one's exam is my speech I give tomorrow. Gonna be nerve wracking, but at least then I'm done witht that class before actual finals time. Core classes suck so much. I can't wait for next year when I can take almost all of my classes in my major or minor (Poli Sci and Intl. Studies respectively)

We're given the instruction set summary (no explanations of the instructions, just their names) and relevant parts of the data sheet for what we need to do ( I2C, USART, etc...) but still, lots of room for stupid stuff. Memorizing all those instructions would be terrible...

Thanks for reminding me! It's coming up to the end of the holidays and I've done no work at all!:(

Same. I'm doing Maths, Further Maths, Physics, German, Economics, and General Studies.
I've got A's in my first modules of the maths, physics and economics (except Mech2=50% :() Anyway I'm really worried about German because I've not written my presentation or prepared anything and the oral exam is 9th of May!!:(
EDIT: I've just noticed how many sad faces I've used - that about sums it up

Should be revising for A levels...instead am doing anything but :-)
maths, further maths, physics, geography then a couple of step papers thrown in for good luck. O and general studies, the french exam in that will be interesting (not spoken a word of french for two years...)

I'm in law school. This semester I've got:
* Property Law (Real Property & Personal Property--the introductory course)
* Constitutional Law (U.S. Constitution, natch)
* Criminal Law
I've already finished all my Legal Writing & Research stuff.
My head is spinning already. ugh. "O devises Blackacre to . . . ."

This semester is easy for me. I've just got French, Russian and phonetics and sound systems. The only thing that worries me is the experiment I've got to complete for phon. Synthesizing speech sounds in Praat is not easy, and I've got a week. ](*,)

Ecnomics 101 (microeconomics)
Psych 202 (introduction to psych)
History 247 (high level business history class)
Math 210 (finite math)
Econ is easy. Psych sucks. History is at least interesting. Math 210 is awesome because I took the equivalent class as a sophomore in high school, as well as math 221 last semester and calc 1 last year.
Two finals and a paper this week. Should be studying/sleeping.

Why on earth do people have to keep reminding us of certain doom?:(
Me:-
Biology
Chemistry
Physics
Maths
And the best part, it's the AS of Cambridge, so that means it's going to be tough.:(
