The Pressure Of Tests And Coursework

The Pressure of Tests And Coursework

In university, the experiences that I have experienced have been nothing like that of when I was at A-levels, but one thing I can definitely say is that the work rate as well as the challenges work brings, have increased. It is very difficult compared to previous levels of study because you have to write more in essays, especially when it comes to 2500 to 5000 word essays. Work presentations are alo made to present to the class on researched topics that we may or may not know about.

To be honest, those were some pretty huge exaggerations, but I am doing the accelerated route and the work this year due to some disorganisation in the system has made it very hard for us AR students taking the exams. This is because everything is cramped together and it means that work happens at an alarming rate and I have learnt this first hand that even when studying for your A-levels, it doesn't compare to the non stop working month I have just had revising for my exams.

During all the coursework essays, I also had to revise for my upcoming exams as well as attend extra classes to prepare me for my exams and tests. Now with the accelerated route, 60 percent was mandatory and praying I got it in one module was not enough as I had to average it overall in order to take the AR exams. Now the pressure on me was immense, especially when it came to succeeding. I hope I did but as you can see the pressure to succeed on this educational platform is very difficult and will only come with hard work and determination.
