my advice would be to figure out where IWC is in the first place (i got lost going to my first exam) and ended up getting there just in time (definately didnt know it was inside DBAC

I was talking about exams and midterms. Class I end up going 10-15 minutes early, just to beat everyone that has class before. (Assuming I'm not the one with class before).

Except for first-year (where I was typically terrified of screwing up and being late for my exams), I've always made sure that I was at IWC right on time... I hate waiting in line (such a waste of time) and I just walk right in, sit down, wait the 5 minutes before I can start, and then begin!

I'm also not the type of person to be scared or nervous about writing exams/tests... I pretty much always relaxed, confident and ready to write.

As a student going into second year, one thing that I have learned was to never fall behind in homework.

One day behind turns into 2, 3.. a week and before you know it your two weeks behind.

Oh and saying "I will catch up over the weekend" NEVER WORKS! Save the weekend for relaxing and try to do most of your studying/homework during the week.
