Basically, this a thread where people can share their test/exam experiences, rant about them, exclaim how for some, (like me), they're only a week away.

To be honest, I'm stressing out, but at the same time, very relaxed. I've really not been doing much homework, but only major projects since I have other things going on as well. I've been periodically pulling all-nighters for studying for certain areas and subjects, and coffee is becoming my blood, along with some sodas. I know one shouldn't really worry about Highschool finals as much, but for some reason I feel that I'll feel really good if I get this done right.

So, how are your testing weeks/months going?

Got 2 research projects to do for two separate classes, as well as a group presentation for one (having to teach the class for all 2 hours) and an individual presentation for the other one. Not to mention the weekly writing assignments for both due every week (already complete 6 thus far for one and 5 for the other). Swamped with the research aspect of both - very reading intensive subjects. Without them, I'm no closer to my major, though, so may as well get these ball-busting, sleep depriving classes out of the way first. All of this is within the next 4 weeks.

Thank fuck, my finals were last week so I'm done. I'm a freshman in college so none of my courses were too bad. However, the final in Calculus I was a monster, and I still don't know how I did on it. If I got an A on it I'll probably pull an A in the class... but I'm damn near positive that I didn't get an A

Fuck Calculus, dude. Just seriously fuck it.

I'm gonna die.

Calculus rules. Chemistry rules. Medical statistics FTL.

Slack! Just do a little homework at a time, relax and listen to metal, play some games, earn some cash, sleep well. Just keep up and do your best at group projects and research. If you create your own summary you will literally be able to study the day before your exam and pass with an A/4.0/8+ (Netherlands: our grades are your GPA plus four).
The best learning comes from making the summary, doing the tests, debating with your professor and keep practicing until you get it. If you try to push yourself too hard or make too much exercises, you will lose all motivation which will detract from your results. I seriously believe that there's an inverse hyperbole when it comes to time spent studying and test results.

Try to recite the most important terms for every term, get a good night sleep and make old exams with the answers within arm's reach.
The same for presentations and research groups.

One more tip: do not purchase Skyrim 4 days before you take an exam that <50% of the students pass for on their first try. I had some shudders about that one (got an 8.8 for it, so I guess it wasn't that bad...)

Im almost done with my first year, so I guess I should go back to some literature now...

I'm not quite worried about my finals yet... I've still got 2-3 weeks to study for most of them. The only one I can see myself stressing out about is my history final, because that's been an ass kicker all year for me. Everything else, I think should go fine with some review and studying. I just can't wait for them to be over with more than anything, because (by South Jersey high school standards), we get out really early this year.

2 Advanced placement history exams in Euro and World history. Followed by a surprisingly easy, just time consuming 8 page essay for physics on black holes. All by the end of the week. Not the worse thing in the world but it's been a bit stressful, I've stayed up until 3-4 am trying to study but I have a sporadic class schedule where sometimes I don't need to be in class until 1pm, so sleep loss isn't a huge issue. The second exam I could really care less about and am only aiming for a pass just so I can get the university credit. And yeah, fuck maths. I just finished my final math course last semester with a nice 86%. That is, barring I don't need to take a stats course for anthropology in university . Which I think would be a good time to just say fuck it all and go with my other life goal to live alone in the forest and start a kitty shelter.

That is, if Steve French doesn't sit on your papers. If he does, you're fucked.

Too late, the cat shelter it shall be. Not going to lie though, he can be distracting as fuck. Sitting on my work, hitting me in the face at 6AM when he's hungry, eating my opium plants, and weed, and shit. Doesn't make for a good morning when you're already sleep deprived.

I had a five hour physics final last week. I didn't do well...

I'm about to destroy an Intro to Philosophy final. I'm a senior and I've already taken 400 level PHI classes, this is a joke, but it's required and I never took it.

My school works on a slightly unusual schedule so I won't have finals for about 5 weeks. I'll also be in class during the summer though.

I would kill to be back in college. I'm currently searching for jobs because rents beating down my door and I got DC coming up. To only have to worry about grades!!! DAMN YOU ALL!

Quick, what's a predefined format used to enter and display data in a field? In regards to Microsoft Access 2007.

I'm currently in strike (13th week, I think) against the rise of the tuition fees, I don't want to stop a debate about that here, I debate enough in real life as it is. So, yeah, no finals yet, not even sure if the semester will not be canceled. I should write my papers, but there's no dates yet, so I don't have any motivation to do them, I might cancel 2 classes if we go back in class soon. There was an offer saturday and my association is voting it tommorow, it's gonna be beaten, it's basically a joke. Anyway, I'm switching to a teaching degree next semester, I actually want a job and an history degree will not give me one

I finished last week and it was a total pain in the ass. Taking all upper-level psychology courses and juggling finals along with papers and additional work was exhausting. I worked on a research project literally all semester, and my final grade on this soul-consuming piece was......a C+.

That's what I'm looking at. Finishing up my dbase 2 final now and then gotta get this English 101 essay finished. 10 pages on irony in Hawthorne and Euripedes, hoorah.

I have finals in like a month. I have two easy history exams (Honors US history and AP European history) as well as a German exam, a chemistry exam, a health exam, precalculus exam and an English exam. Everything should be pretty easy except for the precalc exam, which is usually hard.

I'm only a junior in highschool though, so I won't have really hard exams for another year.



Ah no way! I'm in SJ too, I go to Lenape High School (if you've heard of it).

I pretty much just got in from a Sociology 1B exam which went reasonably, as far as I can tell. Had my Philosophy one yesterday, which was equally alright (average, I expect - I don't express my knowledge best through the medium of exams) and I've got Psychology on thursday, then that's me finished for about four months.

My end-of-semester exams aren't until next month, but I have a 3-day festival to look forward before getting into study. Anyway, a lot of the highly weighted assignments are due around this time. I'm waiting on the results of the biology report due last Wednesday and I have a psychology essay due tomorrow. But what I'm really stressing over are my calculus and statistics quiz results. Fuck statistics so hard. The worst part is that I need to keep doing it if I want to complete my major.

Nice, I have heard of your school (I think my mom used to go there). I go to Hammonton, if that's worth anything. Not really.

Thanks to a rather untimely, serious flu likely caught during Behemoth's show on Saturday, I'll be missing my first two AP exams. Three more next week, than I guess the two makeups the week after. A few finals throughout the next month, but nothing really serious. Just glad to be (soon) out of high school.

Which ones are you missing? Psych / calc?

I'm a senior as well, only 3 AP tests for me. AP Physics is pretty daunting. I don't really know much of it at all. The other two (World and Language + Composition) are going to be pretty easy though, no worries about them. After that I'll have some easy finals for other classes and I'm all done.

My last day is the 25th, which is also the first day of MDF. I'm not even going to my graduation, so three days of metal and mayhem will pretty much be my celebration.

Art History (today) and English Literature & Composition (Thursday). Thankfully my flu's picking up a bit, so I may be well enough to go in on Thursday. Be nice to get it out of the way.

I'm in an Audio Recording and Production program at a local college and I just finished two finals, a final project and a final paper on Amon Amarth the final project was video and audio editing and it took almost 4 hours to do. but overall, this semester's exams and final stuff in general were pretty painless.same with how it was in high school,except when it came to math finals. only subject i was never good in

If I want senior exemptions from all of my exams, I'm gonna need to start doing a lot better in AP Statistics. It looks like that will be the one class in which I have to take my exam (in my high school, if you have at least a C with one absence, then you can be exempt from taking the final exam if you're a seniors; two absences are allowed if you got a B, and three if you got an A).

Sometimes my cat sits on my papers too. She'll even scratch them and bite them sometimes.

Yup, I have finals all next week. This week I have to take these IC3 certification tests for my computer classes, and so far I've passed two out of the three with near perfect scores. I have to take the third one in...less than an hour.

we did act's a few weeks ago though, and despite how poorly i did as far as paying attention during all practice test, i think i did well on the actual test. now tomorrow im finishing my adventure ed (kinda like gym, but with alot of rock climbing/team building things), we already did the individual portion which was to scale a wall and all the obstacles on it, i did good on that, we did our team final today which was we had to get all our classmates over a beam on the ceiling, then we all had to swing across and all fit on some wooden planks, then the final part was we all had to sing the schools song while standing on these planks(he kinda let us off easy on that part). tomorrow is the exam portion which is just riddles, and we have to work in groups to solve them. we take finals for everything else in about a week, im only worried about algebra II, german II, and maybe physics.

I got my AP Physics exam (AP exam, not final; see my post above) sometime next week. On the plus side, I have no other AP exams and my other finals won't be for a few more weeks.

All my tests start next week.

Goodbye sleep!

Finished my first of two AP exams Thursday with an 80 and an overall mark of 91. Tackled that nasty 8 page physics paper last night as well. One more AP exam to go, in which only a pass is required, so I'm really not inclined to give a fuck about studying or anything like that for the next week. My summer virtually starts after the 17th.

Well, last month I failed an admision test for the Simon Bolivar's University here in Venezuela, I needed at least 52 points, and I got 43.

Hmm yeah.

I've got an algebra final on Monday (also took Sociology and English this semester, but those had final papers instead of exams). I should be studying, but instead I'm stoned, listening to Jesu, and on the web. Oh well, studied plenty this morning, and will study a ton tomorrow, and not smoke green again until after my exam (plus I'm basically acing the class anyways).

I had one final in marketing and got 103% in it because the teacher messed up a question and made it extra credit.

You lucky bastard.

I recently failed and english test, God what is happening to me?

It was about active and passive voice, don't really care about that, you don't use it too much right?

When something is like "Jon ate an hamburguer" you change it to "An hamburguer was eaten by Jon" or something like that, right? Well, we don't really use it in spanish either so...

I'm only having 3 exams this year, so everything should work out fine. english, dutch, and history (nothing fancy, just the usual golden age/world war/vietman stuff) I have a hard time getting information into my head if I'm not especially interested in the subject though.

No, the first one would be correct in English, as passive voice is usually always frowned upon.

I never understood the "an" regarding the "h". "an hamburger" sounds completely incorrect to me, even if it is used correctly in that sentence.
