Revision?  You mean skimming through the books the night before the exam, after you get in from the pub.

Haven't had to do that for years...

Nope I think she just dreads the thought of having to resit them as she did her AS levels :shock:  Sometimes though.......... you just need to have a break :!:

Thankfully my exam years are way, way, way behind me. I was tempted to do the promotion exams for work, but the higher you go in The Plod, the less you have to do with what you joined for.
Plus the fact that I don't speak 'management talk' such as 'win-win situation', thinking outside of the box' blah blah, waffle waffle.
My sympathies to you TD90!

I'm reviseing, well meant to be but i never realised how exiting doing nothing really is :shock:  plus the fact i seem to be sooo tired and sleep all the time it doesnt help.

i'd still turn a free day at alton towers down tho, youd have to pay me a fair bit to make me go there :lol:

I used to think of it more is vision, since I never vissed it in the first place to revise it later.

I always took the view that if i hadnt learnt it by then (exam time/end of lectures) then i never would, so didnt bother revising - it kinda worked for me!

Rob - take my advice from someone who did it this way.....revising is a much better way of getting good results, and getting to where you want to be quickly.

On a serious note, if you need any assistance with anything on the Computer front just give me a nod,  we're reasonably competent with the things and should be able to help you
