In my English mock exam last year, I was literally writing the last word of my essay when they said pens down. I only had to write "poem. " and I got to "po" before a teacher yelled at me.
You recreated very well the exam ambiance at home, it’s...InTenSE 🙂☄️...But I think it’s definitely better so that you don’t feel tempted to distract yourself or anything. Oh, and btw, shout out to those great actors that played the examiners! In no time we are seeing them on the big screen! 🤣🙌🎬
Aw, Paige. Such an inspired and creative vlog! Loved the seating plan of 1 and the teddies on the bed and the jutaposition of the You Tube Plaque in the exam room. Such a bitter sweet way to end your Cambridge life and what a way to take your Finals. What strange times for everyone. Sending love. xx
Paige, I always got stressed whenever I had to write exams because I was worried about not finishing on time and the questions being too difficult for me to answer that I would end up failing. You completed all your exams and you have done very well.
We are “scanning” by taking pictures with our phones at my school, and no teacher has required that we print schoolwork, we can write down the answers in notebook paper instead. Not sure if all schools are doing the same though. I put white noise on my headphones if things are too noisy
Totally get you 😞 the department anticipated most people wouldn’t print the actual exam paper, eliminating the need for a printer (I think I’m in the minority that still prefer paper copies! But recognise I’m lucky to have the option). Scanning is possible via apps on a smart phone which most people own. However, there’s also a second examination period taking place when things are more “normal” for anyone who could not sit their exams this summer due to reasons such as lacking a good environment to work at home, WiFi/tech issues or poor mental health. There’s also a safety-net system in place where finalists cannot get a lower grade than what they achieved in second year. I agree that the home exam set-up is definitely not a level playing field but have to say that the department and university have done the best they could in a tough situation.
omg, your parents played their characters so well, lol, I'm also on my finals week, and it's hard to have online tests, I study engeneering, so even when we have books or online class materials, we have to make all calculations and take desicions according to the excercises to be graded on, hope you get good grades :)
You guys are all so cute Paige. You and the fam made my chuckle and warmed my heart. I'm so happy that you are so real. Stay you, darling! Oh yea! Also, your mom's so cute and your dad's a handsome lad. No wonder you both are cute gals.
The intro is so good Paige! I can't believe you could maintain your seriousness when your parents are you adjudicators, well done for keeping it formal-ish :)
Paige uploads a video Me: nearly chokes on my food, running, tripping over my OWN toes, and falls down the stairs and bangs my face so hard I have a bruise on my forehead and blood trickling down my chin. All for Paige's video. We love you Paige! Good luck!
As a final year student the corona outbreak came when I was just doing a traineeship and I did not take any lectures at all so I neither took exams but I'm really interested about how it feels to do uni exams at home. 🤔😂 p.s. Paige I suppose you already thought about that but it would be nice that you shared on a video your future intentions, what the specialization in astrophysics allows you to work with... this kind of things, you know. Regards 😊
Oh godddd this video was sooo good!! The intro part was reallyyyy cute OMG!..I mean the whole of your family taking part in vlogging!❤️ Also how many exams are actually there?!..I mean this vid was super fun but I wanna see your "post exams celebrations" videos (your beach trip with your school friends vlog and that wine splashing thing which is a must after every last exam! 😄) And omg the blooper clip was the funniest and the cutest . Lolololololol!!😂😛 Would be really good (for us) if you post twice a week!! 😛😚 Also we all know that you rocked the examss!❤️ - xx
God I was getting really stressed when your parents were invigilating, I thought blimey they’re taking this seriously! Excellent acting skills by the way!
Looking forward to your results video! This might be a weird take but I'm kind of glad you've had your best room last year because you got to enjoy it to the fullest. If this was the year where you had a room in the North Court for the first time, it would have been a shame to leave it relatively early on in the year. Hope you aced your exams! x
Your intro to the examination situation - ohhhh, memories. I feel for all you Students who’s education has been affected by the Coronavirus. I would of totally re-created the scenario at home, haha. Otherwise, I think I would of gotten distracted... Best of luck, Paige. Been following you from the start - you are great! 🖤
Richard P. Feynman ( 1918 - 1988 ) quantized the electromagnetic field into photons in his 'Theory of Quantum Electrodynamics. I read that in the book 'Introducing Hawking'.
Could you please tell us in detail that what is this online exam process, as I would be joining Cambridge University this Fall, so that I have pretty much an idea!!
Honestly I feel you online exams are so much weirder/more stressful than in person!! I found it so much harder to collect myself at home in those 15 minutes or so before the exam begins, just didn't know what to do with myself hahaha when normally you'd be in an exam hall surrounded by other people in the same position as you
I'm sure you did brilliant on your exams. Your videos have inspired me the most while studying in lockdown. So kinda thank you bcs I passed all my exams this years. Can't wait for you to share your results which will be great for sure. Good luck in future and I hope you continue with the vlogs. ❤️
Paige - priceless and a fab VLOG which I really enjoyed. 🏆🏆🏆 Well done for your parents acting skills - very funny. ✨✨✨ Good luck with those pesky exams and I am sure you will be fine. 🧠🧠🧠 Looking forward to the next episode and this will be such fun to watch in the future. 🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️ Take care, Vivien 🌷🌷🌷
The most loveliest thing about you is that you’re always smiling and this amazing!!! I feel really great and motivated every time i watch your RU-vid videos... so just good job and please continue to make more videos for us😍😍
We had to sign a declaration after the exams were finished to promise we had stuck to the honour code - a lot of trust is involved, just have to hope everyone was honest!
Im sure you did great! Our exams are also 3hours long (I just had one this monday and another next wednesday) but they dont allow us to go to the bathroom :((
Still so so happy that my uni made physical exams work, both written and oral. We had them is huge halls with enough space between the tables. I get nervous seeing all the hassle for online exams😂
