Hi Andy,

in the exam, you will only be asked questions on stuff that was taught to you in lectures. So if you get general books on those subjects, they will have too much information, and information on which you will not be examined (it might be useful to know it, but it wont help you passing an exam in 2 weeks time).

Do any of your friends from college have the notes? If you can get a copy of the notes, they should have everything that is needed to pass the exam. Two weeks with you head down would be plenty of time to get enough knowlege to pass the exam.

Or as Clubman said - go to your tutor. You might feel a bit embarassed to tell him/her that you have no notes (i.e. that you prob skipped all the lectures), but they will be pleased to see you are making a effort, and might be able to help (by letting you photocopy notes they have or giving you hints on areas to concentrate on for the exam, etc). It´s in their best interests that you pass too, so its no harm to try them.

Good luck!
