Hmm so it's not just my school that did that. We had an ISU in english for example (a big project that is usually given at the start and we have all year to do it on our own time) Well ours, we got it like 2 weeks before the exams. We had to read a whole book and write an essay.
So I just picked a book which has a predictable story, I read the first 2 chapters during the first week, then did the essay and other crap on the other week. Sometimes you have to compromize with the time you have.
