I was in college for two years but I didn´t attend too much. Then I decided to drop out. I was having too many nightmares about failing in the exams.
Normally I don't sleep much during a Test match.
What are you?" I asked. "I'm the Ghost of the Night Before Exams." "And how long did it take you to come up with that?" Jazza asked. "I'm a busy man," he replied.
I'm really bad at tests of any kind, so I'm bad at auditions. I consider myself educated most of the time, but when I'm under the gun, I just fail.
I hate tests. It's a really lousy way to judge a person's ability.
A final is a final, and is motivation in itself.
Of course you're nervous going into a final.
We learned after the first semester in law school that it's best never to discuss exams. If notes are compared afterwards, you become painfully aware of things you missed.
I still have nightmares about taking tests.
Tests are special, the format closest to my heart.
I'm like the kid that crams for tests and never remembers anything.
From a young age, pupils are put under immense amounts of pressure in high-stakes exams. Often, they're made to feel like their whole future depends on how they perform in these narrowly focussed tests.
But when I looked at a lot of the questions they had on them army tests, I just didn't know the answers. I don't even know how to start after finding the answers. That's all.
I was never good at sports. I was never good at exams, because they didn't understand dyslexia.
My sleep pattern got disrupted around the time I was taking my O-levels, but in those days nobody really addressed things like that in children.
I did an O-level in domestic science when I was at school, but on the day of the practical exam, it was a cookery nightmare.
For exams, I swotted so hard because I couldn't bear the thought of not coming first.
It was driving me crazy that I couldn't remember something that I studied the night before. All it did was trigger my anxiety, and all of sudden everything would snowball on me.
It's soo freaking hard studying all night for your exams when you know there is no hope of clearing the dreaded Hindi paper.
I was probably more scared of my high school exams than I was of the Oscars. At the time you think it's everything and if you don't do well, your life's over. Opportunities are gone. So the more you do it, the less the fear is present.
I used to really panic about finals. I didn't understand the concept of how you could have one test that encompasses the entire semester.
The idea of going back to school and revising for exams would be hellish. As an actor, my form of revising is learning scenes, but to start going through biology, chemistry, and all of those sciences would be just a nightmare.
