Wish I knew then, what I know now...

So with my exams fast approaching (this time next week I'll have done the first lot of clinicals), I am finally beginning to realise how I should have been aproaching my revision. Its just I shame that I hadn't had this realisation a couple of months ago as I can't help but think that I should have had a completely different tactic/method. Unfortunately there is not a lot that I can do about it now. I have reached the point in my revision where I am completely fed up with working. Things are now relatively familiar, and therefore I get bored when I'm reading and am lulled into a false sense of security by the famliiarity of the material. Its only when I try to remember the details after closing my folder that I realise that I don't fully understand/recall the information. I am hoping that under pressure and stress in the exam everything will come flooding back to me, but I have a feeling that this is just wishful thinking. The worst thing about the practical exam is that the examiners watch you and ask you questions. I am terrified of looking like an idiot, especially given the fact that I may well know the examiners. For this reason I am much less nervous about the writen papers. If I don't know the answer I can just move on to the next question, instead of standing in front of the examiners feeling like an idiot!

Right, enough distraction...back to the revision!
