I have just — literally five-minutes ago — managed completely fail my January examinations. This is because of a lack of motivation, dedication to studies and partly due to luck. I have been having a lot of trouble in my personal life lately and I got to sleep past 1:00 am before both of my examinations.
I felt so stupid when I couldn't figure out how to do a question and before I knew it time had ticked away and the end of the exam was approaching. I can figure out any question in an unlimited amount of time but within the one-hour thirty-minute time limit I couldn't do a lot of the questions. Luckily I decided to skip some and go on to the parts that I could complete successfully. I am very disappointed with my performance and absolutely have to make it up in the summer.
Further mathematics is certainly not an easy examination and getting an A grade is very important for my university hopes. My lowest offer is Bristol, at ABB, and unfortunately after that performance I am not as hopeful as I was. Before the exam getting an A in further maths seemed easy; now I feel insecure about my abilities and worried about my future.
Every question in the text-book is easy for me but that timed exam went appallingly. I was angry and upset throughout the duration totally preventing me from concentrating; this became recursive and I lost it completely about half-way through. I have to do a lot better in the summer otherwise my whole future is completely ruined.
