Talk about anything to do with your upcoming Trials here!

Rants, rambles, your goals, what your issues are, anything you need help with (general questions, not subject related) are all welcome =)

What is your most feared subject(s) (one that you're least prepared for or expect to have the greatest difficulty) coming into the trials?

Mine = MX2.

And possibly Physics.

You'll be somewhat fine, since there is technically no right or wrong (in most cases) in English, you can always 'BS' your way through it (given you remember some textual analysis).

I.e. You can't be completely 'effed'.

Meanwhile in MX2... (for me at least)

But yeah, English is daunting lol - 4 essays + 1 creative.

Not comfortable at all.

I'm especially scared of running out of time for the Modules paper.

I feel like I'm dying with english, I have three days to memorise my 4 essays, make sure I understand additional points in all the texts and I'm not even going to bother with my creative because I have no idea what to write about and I'm better at writing creatively.
Physics also is so nasty, it always seems to be marked by Satan or some sadist that needs to be locked up.
And then two of my major works, one due right in the middle of trials and the other 2 weeks after
WHYYY.
