This is my 2nd module of a Modern Language Studies degree and my 1st Level 2 module. Basically I am just soooo lazy. I submitted 6 TMAs ranging from 68-86% and substituted the last one as I had worked out that even with a 90% TMA and a 90% exam I couldn't get higher than a Pass 2 anyway.

So this isn't about blowing my own trumpet so sorry about that. Just a bit of background. As the position I am in now is that to do my TMA score justice I need to get at least 70% in the exam to get a Pass 2.

I spoke to the tutor about how likely this is and she said she expects me to get the same kind of score as in my TMAs. But... she doesn't know that I only read what I needed to to do the TMA. But as I've not had to work particularly hard so far, I am finding it difficult to motivate myself to study for the exam which is next Tues.

I have been reading through some of the stuff I was supposed to have read but there's so much to do that it's a bit overwhelming now. I know it's irresponsible and lazy. I don't mind just getting a Pass 3 anymore, I just want it to be over. I am beginning to have nightmares about being sat there and not answering a single question.

You are fab, and you CAN do it.
I know that we all have outside lives and studying is the last on a long list of priorities but a mumsnetter a while ago was part of a thread on how to revise efficently here is the link here
it's helping me. Very best of luck.

Rarrie's post is the one to look for.

You will do fine. You should already know pretty much what the exam is looking for. So revise accordingly, but don't leave bits out.

I know what you mean about just reading to do the TMA. I've been doing that with Bon Depart and my lowest mark was 79%. I've had 100%, 89% and 94%.... so yeah...not rocket science.

However, you've paid for this course and you want to do yourself justice. So..... remember those of us behind you that are looking for some inspiration and study your wee butt off for the next few days (speak in your chosen language as much as poss and rack up a decent mark in the exam. Then post and tell me what you got!
