I’m one of those people who stress out before exams, worrying that I’ll fail and that I’ll forget everything that I need to know – but when it comes down to it, I perform quite well and end up getting better grades than I expected.
The course I am doing now is all coursework and assignments, and no exams. This suits me better, because I like to be able to put time and effort into my work so I can reach the high standards that I’m aiming for. I usually feel more relaxed and at home doing assignments (when I’m not panicking about the fact that I’ve left it until the last minute) and end up achieving better grades than in exams.
In which do you perform best: Exams or Assignments?
