    After looking at a bunch of motivational posters, i got some motivation to finish. They work!
    If not for money then maybe this might work

    Honestly, when I studied I allowed myself a wank every 4 pages of A4 I learnt. It must have worked because I got As

    I am a exceptionally slow studier. But you adapt it to your personal limitations. I found 4 pages quite a good work/wank balance, but others might like to do fewer or more.

    If you learn things whilst in a state of arousal, do you have to get back into that state to remember them again?

    (Like if you do things whilst drunk you only remember them when you are drunk again.)

    That could make examination rooms fairly unpleasant places to be in.

    Well, not for the perpetually wanking students, obviously.

    Anyway, I guess science has the answer.

    I have a feeling you're not taking my suggestion seriously, Barbie

    Another thing that motivated me was writing a timetable of revision times for the subjects and sticking to it. If you try to chop and change what you're studying it keeps your brain from getting bored. And let yourself have say, 10 minutes off for every hour of revision. Walk about a bit, have a breather, a cuppa, surf the webby or whatever. Pretty soon you'll feel so proud of yourself for exercising self control you'll want to study.

    Well, if you can't keep this balance for too many hours then maybe this can be a second wind motivation
