When the results are not enough to motivate me to study...

If the exam is 40% and consist of 2 questions, then each question is 20% of my final grade. So if I spend 5 days on an essay which is 20%, and get an A, then logically speaking I need to spend 5 days to prepare for one exam question too.

But I am simply not willing to part with that time for this exam. Sighs.

How do I motivate myself?!?!?

I really think that I am a person who does well in essays, because I feel like I am a participant in the process of developing my ideas. And I really hate exams because 2 hours is just not enough to develop ideas and create a better person. Blah.
