Happy that 3/4 are in the afternoon though so far.

I don't really worry about getting it over and done with - rather doing just doing it well. With afternoon exams, I usually have 9-10 hours of sleep and get to chill for 2-3 hours before the exam as opposed to the stress of morning exams

Morning exams are the best! Can do stuff after you finish And you're also refreshed from sleeping
Although my exams last semester consisted of me waking up at 3-4 to cram... :\

Fair enough - most of my exams are in the morning anyways.

THANK JEBUS MY MBLG EXAM IS IN THE AFTERNOON :')

However, I will add that there is one exam in particular that I'd prefer to do in the afternoons, ainly because of the extra sleep and because I am not stressed at all by it (I usually dont stress much for any exams on the day, but with this one in particular I have zero stress).

Realised from last semester that I need to control stress since it got quite out of hand (it couldn't be helped, left everything to the last minute and had to mega-ultra-uber cram) - Thank god I had LHS

What exam is that? How do you not get stressed? I know it's pointless but people tell me I stress too much and am just curious.

Well, for starters you and me have different aims - uni isnt a priority for me so I dont really stress much. That being said, I was never the type to stress immediately before or during any exam, assignment or presentation - it's just the way I am, there is no real strategy.

I think stress in general cuts both ways - like a degree of it is a good thing because that can provide you with the incentive to do work. Some of my best work comes when I have been stressed out a bit about not being as on top of things as I want to be. So it definitely helps. But there is a line where it becomes a negative and it has definitely become like that with me before in the past.

Know dat feel, I haven't had a proper night of sleep before an important exam since trials.

I don't think anyone has, maybe even year 12 half yearlies

Usually I get a poor night of sleep before the first exam and then afterwards it's usually 8-9 hours. I still do stress like crazy though!

Hopefully studying for finals from now shouldn't leave me too stressed out.
