Mostly As: Impatientl­y waiting

It’s hard to tell whether you’re too overly confident about your exams or you’re just simply getting impatient at the duration of the exam date. With that said, you’ve been studying recently and it seems like you’re ready for that 100%. So just remain calm and all should go well. Mostly Bs: Holding the faith ‘like a G’ You’ve never been fussy about exams like the ‘scholars’ in your class. You rather picture them as a larger quantity of a monthly test and usually ensure that you’re prepared to at least pass the

exam. Youthlink encourages you to aim for the highest marks you can achieve. Don’t be mediocre.

Mostly Cs: ‘When are exams again?’

It’s not that you don’t want to study or pass your exams. It’s just that the effort to actually take up a book seems way beyond what you really want to do. And sometimes it’s understand­able. Maybe you’re not a book person. However, there are many different videos online that you can use to study with. Get rid of laziness and get graphical!
