I bet you did OK, really, even with the slight knowledge seeping?<br /><br />I do think you can either do exams (and that includes the mindset) or you can't. I always used to like them, for some strange reason, which is bizarre as I was pretty bad at them. I always used to do well enough for what I needed but my reports were always blighted with, 'disappointing exam results'. <br />Ah well, it's only when you get older that you realise they're not the be-all and end-all we were always told they were!Jackie Buxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02186723392553752533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233719410107288850.post-46075279551179425462012-04-26T11:22:51.922+01:002012-04-26T11:22:51.922+01:00I panicked in each and every exam I took - knowled...I panicked in each and every exam I took - knowledge seeped out of my head on the way into the room.

Please can you let me know in advance when you're planning to do it???<br />Meanwhile, I'm off to google Rationalism and Empiricism...Jackie Buxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02186723392553752533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233719410107288850.post-64952027051070074452012-04-26T08:07:29.820+01:002012-04-26T08:07:29.820+01:00I find it impossible to go into libraries or exam ...I find it impossible to go into libraries or exam rooms or anywhere where one is expected to be quiet without a burning desire to leap on a table and yell something very loudly. This is because the mornning of my very last final (Rationalism and Empiricism 2 Kant and Hume, loved Hume, had some issues with Kant)I was told the apochryphal story of the student who lost it one year and jumped on the desk during finals and yelled "I'm an orange, squeeze me." How I made it through that last exam I will never know and 27 years later I still have to concentrate very hard to control the urge to scream!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
