I know the feeling. I mean, the hunting-scarabs-with-a-bone-knife feeling. :lol:

I took some exams back in September, and the only things I've gotten back involving those were two letters from two colleges asking me to consider them and take some survey. No scores back.
I take exams very well, with or without studying. In Chemistry, I set the curve for grades on assessments (quizzes and tests). I've always scored well on standardised tests, also.

Had a test last Wednesday in one of my weaker subjects.
Hardly studied at all. I opened the textbook and fell asleep using it as a pillow.
I got a 105.

Congratulations Mikki

I always found them fairly easy if I had stayed awake during class, not so much in college since we would get tested on things that he hadn;t gone over in class. You actually had to read the book sometimes...the nerve. Projects are easy, just a little time consuming.

I always liked to lobby to give speeches, I just had to deal with alot of other students who were worried about fainting in front of the class. At least I hoped for the option because giving speeches is just flat out easy, even in the honors programs, easy A right there.

The student aspiration is the best grade for the least possible effort, I remember making those calculations lol. No more tests except for the ones I take for fun now.

Well, I managed to pass those exams. And my driving test. So all good.

Just the hardest exams of my life (CTA) to go then. :roll:

I have a midterm coming up soon. No stress or anything, but if I don't pass it, I don't pass the class and then I don't graduate.

I had a test yesterday.

The test: Write a well-structured, well-supposed 5-paragraph essay in 45 minutes on some prompt you've probably never seen in your life.

The prompt: Think about how being famous would affect somebody's life. Now write to explain how being famous would affect somebody's life.

I was two sentences away from finishing. And for once it was actually an easier expository prompt. :evil:

I feel your pain.

If I don't pass these exams (12 hours in two days), I get fired. Yay! :wink:

That exam was every bit as brutal and shattering as I was afraid of it being. Urge to crawl under table rising.

Anybody else love those classes that set 30% as the passing grade?
There's just something wrong there.
