I have the same problem, man. I literally can?t revise. OK, maybe not literally, but I just can?t bring myself to take myself away from whatever leisurely thing I?m doing on the net, go onto some mind-numbingly boring exam sheets and actually try to confront problems that I don?t know how the fuck I?m going to solve it.
My mother's been telling me to do this Maths past paper that we printed out, but I've been procrastinating and saying, "But it's my Easter holidays, I'm supposed to relax." Then I lie to her and say that I'm still doing other revision on my laptop, when I'm just typing on forums like this and watching YouTube videos.
*sigh* June's gonna be Hell for me.

Well good luck to you sir.
Damn, studying for Highers, that takes me back.
My advice would be this - pace yourself. Don't try to cram at any stage. (it works for some people I guess, but you'd essentially be clutching at straws. Not a good strategy.) Make a plan of sorts of what you want to go over. Plug the gaps in your knowledge first, then move on to refining what you're more sure of.
If you run into anything you don't understand, don't freak out - it happens to everyone at this stage. Really. Just be calm, look over the material, and if you're still not getting it ask someone for help. Don't be afraid to approach your teacher - the majority of them will be more than happy to help. Getting you through these exams is their job (and the more people get good grades, the better they'll look, after all).
When you're done revising a particular topic, I think it's really helpful to get someone to ask you questions about it. Best if it's someone who also knows the subject (classmates, essentially), but really, anyone can help with this. If there's anything you struggle to answer, you'll know it still needs a little work.
Oh, and past papers are a must. The SQA ones are actually surprisingly helpful. (Or they were when I was sitting their exams, anyway.)
Hope that's of some use. Good luck dude, hope you get the grades you need for uni/college/apprenticeship/whatever it is you want to do!

just want to thank everyone for the advice, you have all made me feel more confident, and hey if computing science goes well enough i could be making games :L
Yeah, damn me for making sure we were on the same page. The nerve of me to actually try and clarify things!Matthew94 said:
