Winging important exams is a ticket to flipping burgers at McDonalds. They're important for a reason. I'd really not recommend it. Conversely revising on the day of the exam is also not smart. Revise in chunks up to it. That is the ticket to passing.

In the same boat as you. I should be studying for my an exam right now, but here I am, posting on a forum.

I started my final exams of secondary school today, and yet I've got little study done due to procrastination, and will fail everything. I would honestly suggest studying.

I winged all my vocabulary tests in high school. I looked at the word list only once. And that one time was 30 seconds before the test. And I aced every single of them, 100%. GO ME!

Im in the middle of my GCSEs now and the closest I came to revising is playing Red dead redemption for the test on the American West.
All of my coursework was done in the early hours before it needed to be in and Im an A student in the majority of my subjects.
Only 10 more exams before summer and like someone else said Im going be high for the last two.

I always studied, I don't see how you can just guess things in University and hope to be okay.

I still find myself winging it on projects and speeches, though.
The best speeches are ones that were prepared the previous day, or even better, a few minutes before the actual speech.
Or at least makes them more entertaining :D

I usually study for 15 minutes before I head to class, and that's it. The less I study, and the closer it is to the exam, the better I do.

Yeah man. I'm failing math for sure... and all my other classes are very close to the edge. I hope I can pull through and only have to re-do math! Not to mention if I don't I can't grad next year. Good luck to you too!
Just try your best. It's all you can do.
But yeah, good luck with your exams.

For big tests, yeah, but I do fine on them. Hell, I almost literally slept through my entire world history class. 93 on my regeants or whatever.

I winged most of my tests but never my exams (except the English exams since my school made it impossible to study for them).

Strange you should make this thread... I did an exam on my Consumption in/of the 19th Century module today and I winged it about as much as anyone can wing anything, ever. I went to around four lessons out of 12, read the texts at the last minute, reaching the end of none of them, and did no revision other than read two pages about consumption in the 18th century on the train in. One of our questions was an open question, which means you get the question two weeks in advance and you must plan your answer. I did nothing of the sort, as my laziness knows no bounds, and decided that hoping I'd figure something out in the exam room was a better course of action.

The exam was three hours long, and there were three questions, and strangely (happily, luckily) I think I did quite well, all things considered.

Considering I almost never truly study for tests, yeah, I wing it all the time.
