Are you keeping it real?
How many of you are simply going through the motions? After talking to some friends I have begun to realise that perhaps it is not uncommon for people to sit exams that they know they will almost certainly fail. Someone in a ct3 exam told a friend of mine they'd only read half the course - yet they still turned up to write the exam. During my 105 exam (old syllabus) the guy behind me proceeded to munch through an assortment of crisps and sweets (to my annoyance) until he left after 30-45 minutes.
There are many reasons I guess why this can happen, such as:
(1) Not studying enough (as intended) - not following the plan.
(2) Not studying at all - maybe partying too much instead (Yes, it is tempting).
(3) Realising the exam is simply to difficult for them at this time.
(4) Giving up.
(5) Taking too many subjects.
(6) Personal catastrophic event.
(7) Alien abduction (happened to a mate of mine! - more common than we probably think).
(8) Government implant (usually in the head) telling you wrong answers (my mates girlfriend's cousin from Bognor Regis had this happen to him).
(9) Other.
Seriously though, I think this does happen (better for the rest of us) but how wide spread is it?
Be honest with yourself and answer.
The important thing to note about this question is that I am not asking you if you are incapable, but simply, have you or are you, entering an exam with the knowledge that you will almost certainly fail?
(maybe you'll get it next time)
