I have found the solution... not studying.

I probably do < 5 hours for each exam... and I don't do notes or tutorial questions or even pay all that much attention in lectures so I am basically learning things properly for the first time.

I really want to try harder but I am so incredibly lazy.

I do that too.

This session I passed one subject before the exam and need 13%, 14%, and 30% in my exams to pass the rest.

Urgh lucky.. most of my finals need a pass to pass the course..

I can't motivate myself to look at my books.. I have two exams next week and I've only looked at chapter1 of one unit.. I'm expecting to fail everything..

So do mine... but if they didn't then that is all I would have to get.

I am motivated for about 5 minutes, then I get sick of it and watch tv.

That's alright then, you must be doing pretty well in uni to only need around 15-30% to theoretically pass..

My subjects are easy. The only reason it is so high for one of them is because the lecturer is incompetent... so bad that I am complaining about their handling of the subject.

Funnily enough she isn't bad at doing the lecturers... She just hugely screwed up the major assignment.
