Resolved Question: Exams? Not enough time should I cram or not ?
Hi I just did an R.E. gcse (or R.S.) and I studied really hard for it and I completed it and i think I did good :) BUT now I have the internal school exams they just go on my summer report but I revised soo much for R.E. that I didn't get ANY time at all for these school exams. I have my biology tomorrow I have to learn 8 booklets I have learned 2 In the space of like 3- 4 hours what should I do the exam tomorrow at 9:30 it lasts an hour and a half should I be worrying so much seeing as these aren't official exams also i have my real geography gcse coming up in about two weeks and I'd rather be revising that what do you think? I think the main thing that's freaking me out is my target grade in biology is an A* and If I get like a C (which I might seeing as I have to revise really hard to get that kind of grade) my teacher would make me feel dumb -_- or you know say oh I'm disappointed blah blah What the heck should I do thanks! :) x
Open Question: What is the best way to cram Math lessons from high school if I've forgotten all of it?
I didn't get any Math subject in school for a year (I'm taking up Fine Arts anyway, and Math isn't that relevant to it). So now the thing is, I want to apply for a scholarship to Japan. I just found out about the scholarship thing last week & that the test for the scholarship is next month. I was never really good at Math, & when I looked at the sample questions, I can not answer anything. I forgot everything I learned before. What's the best way to cram all the Math stuff I learned in high school (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, etc etc.) in just one month? Should I get a Math tutor or should I just review all my old high school books, or should I do a different approach? Help please. I'm terribly scared I might fail because of the Math part & I want the scholarship so bad. :(
Resolved Question: Who do I contact if I want to start a career in Touring Car Racing?
I am in college right now, but I am having a very difficult time in it. I am a mechanical engineering major. There are courses that I keep struggling in and failing in and that I just can't seem to pass. My dream someday is to be a race car driver. I've joined clubs at my school that involves cars, notably SAE and am involved in Formula SAE . I just love the mechanics of automobiles. I know that education comes first, and getting through college, especially as an ME major because it will provide be with a solid background and understanding of how things work. I know that many race car drivers out there graduate with an ME degree. But it seems like everyone is going through all of this schooling just for a piece of paper. A piece of paper saying that you made it through college. School doesn't prepare you for work. They just cram a bunch of things inside your brain that you won't use most of anyway after you graduate. And most of the time when you get a job, people have to train you in what you're doing anyways. School doesn't seem to be working for me right now. All I want to do is race. I've come across this quote "If what you're doing is not your passion, you have nothing to lose." Racing is my passion. I come from a family who struggles financially so I've never had the chance to hone my racing skills much where it be kart racing or autocross or anything like that. I do however drive a manual transmission car that I take very good care of. A lot of my friends say that I'm the smoothest driver and I know what I'm doing and I have a good feel for my car. I do a lot of research on my own about cars and watch many videos, and I know a few basics about racing and driving lines. So I want to know who I should contact to get my career started. I love all racing, but the one that appeals to me most is touring car racing and the super V8's. I would do anything, travel places, I don't care how I'm going to do it, if I have to go by foot I will, to get my foot in the door to become a racecar driver. If you train me, I will do it. I hope this message finds its way to someone that's looking for someone that has a passion in racing. I just want to share my thoughts because I'm just killing myself everyday going through college and not really getting much out of it. Please email me at gcon_22@hotmail.com if you have any leads. Thank you!
