I have two physics exams tomorrow. Now, I haven't studied for it, at all, so I know I'm going to fail. I'm doing A-Level, so not revising for something like physics it'd be blindlessly optimistic to expect a pass. I know it's my own fault that I haven't studied, and I can't put the blame on anyone else - I know that, it is my fault I'm in this situation.
What I'm asking is, should I sit the two exams (one's a re-sit), or should I not go?
It must seem like I'd might as well sit it and hope for the best, but we've had countless mocks in class and I haven't gotten a pass in any of them.
So, like any rational person would do, I'm asking the Crappers: what should I do?

is this AS levels or A2?? (bloody labour and their re-branding)
seriously, show up. Try to answer every question as concise as possible even if you don't have a clue. Show your working as well and they'll still give you marks despite getting it wrong.
and most of all, WRITE YOUR GAWD DAMN NAME AT THE TOP! that's 1 mark from the start. DO NOT skip and claim illness, the examination boards do not accept illness unless you keel over in the examination room. The only legit way out is to claim a family emergency and then shang-hai your parents into writing letters.
god...this brings back memories....

That doesn't work either, you need a bonafide doctors note to get out of anything these days, parental notes arn't worth jack

Write 'I'm a Fish' 500 times, hand it in, do a little dance and then run out the room.

I actually did go out drinking before an exam once. In an unrelated incident I was too ill to take the test the next day. I showed up & all, but had to be removed about 25 mins into the exam.

If you vomit on the exam, I think you can get a make up.
I'm booked to go to work on the day of my last exam. True story.

sit the exam and hope for the best. If you fail just pull a snitski and claim "It wasnt my fault!" If I failed, I will do. They should make a shirt with Snitsky on the front, looking mean and pointing, similar to the Uncle Sam poster. No writing on it at all, just Snitsky pointing and looking all mean-like. is this AS levels or A2?? (bloody labour and their re-branding) seriously, show up. Try to answer every question as concise as possible even if you don't have a clue. Show your working as well and they'll still give you marks despite getting it wrong. and most of all, WRITE YOUR GAWD DAMN NAME AT THE TOP! that's 1 mark from the start.

The only legit way out is to claim a family emergency and then shang-hai your parents into writing letters. god...this brings back memories.... It's AS, so at least it isn't as bad as A2 would've been. I took the exams. I probably did worse than I'd like to think I did, but I can't change anything about it now, so I shouldn't worry. I suppose even the one mark for my name is better than 0 ;D Thanks for the help everyone. I just needed re-assuring about it, and I'm glad I decided to ask here. And.. I did

that's just asking for someone to get out Photoshop and work their marvels worst case scenario: They'll make you repeat the whole year if you screwed up all of your exams. More likely, they'll ask you to work super-super-hard on your A2 exams to make up for it and by next year the questions should be even easier I left on my AS results to go to university and despite having 1 B, 1 C, and 1 E I still got accepted so things are never as bad as your school tries to make out to you. There are always second chances in life.

You did the right thing in going - I know guys that have puked in A-Level exams and all they did was give them a bucket. They take very little into account if they want to change your grades - I lost a close family member and they did jack even though my college appealed.
All exams are designed to do are to test what you are supposed to know - they rarely try and catch you out. That said 2 exams in a day sucks - how can you adequately prepare for both? I am also of the opinion that exams are pretty pointless as they don't reflect normal conditions and reflect too much on how you are on the day.
