AI Thread Summary
Effective revision strategies vary among students, with some emphasizing the importance of understanding material throughout the course rather than cramming before exams. Engaging with practice papers helps familiarize students with exam formats and reinforces knowledge retention. Maintaining a calm mindset is crucial; avoiding excessive worry about exams can enhance focus and productivity. Acknowledging that failure is not the end of the world allows for a healthier approach to studying and reduces pressure, enabling students to perform better.

I prefer to make sure I understand the stuff as I go through the course, then just do some practice papers before exams to make sure I know how the exam will be structured, and haven't forgotten anything major. Sometimes I stretch to looking at summaries in books, but that isn't absolutely necessary if I have somehow managed to keep on top of things.

One thing I absolutely never let myself do is get all worried about the exam. It just makes it so that I can't work at all, and I'd rather keep myself in a state where I do have a hope of passing that put lots of unnecessary pressure on myself. If I fail I can sort it out afterwards, not the end of the world.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay.

Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
