Same here. So much so (especially if it's busy work) that most of it doesn't end up getting turned in unless there's some sort of late policy.

Both? I do pretty evenly at both, though I prefer assignments to exams.

[Ouch!]

Assignments, most definitely.

Assignments if the marks actually count towards your final result. Having time to go back and check what you've done the next day is invaluable to me. I still wind up writing most of it at 4 in the morning, mind XD

I haven't handed in an assignment late yet, and I don't plan to.

I can't STAND exams where you have to write essays. All my writing juice flies out and squiggles weirdly on the page. Naturally I can write well but in exams my style just doesn't feel consistent or smooth. I look back at what I've done and think "WTF is this carp?"

Also, I procrastinate badly when it comes to revision. I got a very low B in my biology mock sans revision OH MY GOD I'M GOING TO DIE

Exams

I have a problem with assignments. They have to be done and don't like doing them. Exams are easy. All I have to do is stay awake. But of course that's a problem too.

Exams. Once I go into an exam room the adrenaline starts pumping and I go into super mode. Questions I usually struggle with suddenly become as clear as day. I end up acing everything.

Yeah, I power-up and become unstoppable when I have a short time limit. Of course this applies to assignments as well if I put them off for long enough, so I do just as well on them, but I prefer exams because they take less total time.

I prefer assignments because I am the opposite. The more time I have, the better I can do.
