How you cope with study/assessment/tests

Drugs. ahem I mean medication.
Edit: Added to help you with anal.

It is funny, that I was close to posting a similar thread about how I have an exam today and wednesday and how I didn't start learning on time and how I am scared of the exams.

I sat down and told myself "it has to be done, no way around it, absolutely no way around it", that worked for me, even though because I started learning so late the exam today was pretty terrible.

give yourself an ultimatum or study in group would help too.

Set time-bound short term/long term goals... Helps me get stuff done without procrastinating

Go to your local library(not Steam library xD)

Cope with it? Postpone until the last moment :P

Other than that, once I start with something I really get into it. So I just find it hard to begin.

just do it.

don't you have friends/classmates you can get together with to study together? I always managed to study more or stay focused with writing reports if I was with someone else. Another way may be to go to the library? Just changing the environment can help.

I procrastinate. Until they go away.

Tests? Assessments? Study?

I was going to write something about a gallon of diet coke, but it got gross at the end.
Anyway, I can guarantee that you're not the world's worst uni student.

Never heard of the site you mentioned, but I'm pretty much no better than you. I have an exam in two days for which I don't feel prepared for at all and what I'm currently doing is drinking tea and replying to you on the forums. I try making myself feel better by thinking "Oh, it's okay, if I was in any real danger my human instincts would kick in and force me to study. Since it seems like I couldn't care less, that means I'll do fine in the exam."

...aaaand then I can't sleep at night because I think about the other assignment I got for the end of the week as well and it's to design and create a boardgame with the themes Earthquake, Medieval, Mafia and Cooking involved. So then I think... well, FML.

In the beginning I used to get butterflies in my stomach before exams - but for the last 2 years of uni I barely gave a shit. I went in, finished my exam and left.

That's kind of when I realised something was wrong. I was either; A) Depressed or B) Bored or C) Had given up.

For any talks, the best thing to do is be confident. If you know your topic you can just wing it half the time. I had to give a 5min technical talk followed by 5min Q&A. Only problem was I forgot my notes on the day. Ended up just going with what I remembered and used Q&A to eloborate as I remembered more. Got bonus points for presentation :)

I should be in class now. I skipped two hours because I had to go to the bank and do some necessary shopping and I had like a free half and hour. It's passed already, anyways. I wish I could help, but we seem to come from the same flock

Try the pomodoro thingie, though.

Finally, a kindred spirit!
I have two exams this week and I havent studied yet :(

I feel for you and know your pain,
