   Become a nihilist: claim that it’s all pointless, exams are merely the oppression of the powerless by the powerful to maintain their power.

   Make a stand. Don’t do the exam

   Sit near smart people a few hours before the exam. Listen to them discuss all their approaches to the coming exam and absorb that information through osmosis. Every now and then throw in a question and get them to riff on it. That’s how I survived first year exams. That and taking challenges to insert stupid things into essays.

   My tip is – stay clear of smart people. It just makes you depressed!

   But also – it is never too late. It is amazing what your brain can remember short term.
