I have four weeks.  Four weeks to sit and worry.  Gah, I'm so tired of school. 

[Grey Wolf]

Just to be the salt in your wounds...

I've finished exams and am on holidays! ^_^

(Good Luck! )

Bah. You beat me by two days.

[phreak]

Still got 3 weeks or so.  Not worried at all, except maybe numerical computing since the prof is in competant.

I have chem and electrical engr exams tomorrow. ECE shouldn't be too bad, but chem is going to eat me alive..

[ToecrusherHammerjaw]

And I got a quiz in Educational Theory and Practice tomorrow worth 15% of my total grade, and I've hardly done any of the reading for it.  My own **** fault.  I've gotten through about 3 exams without studying and gotten 80% or more on them, but I don't how I would pull this off.  I hate that class.

You know that EE is the abbreviation for electrical engineering, right? ECE is Electrical and Computer Engineering.

In the college I used to go to, all Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering classes had the ECE prefix.

They probably have a combined department, then, rather than giving them each their own.

ahahahaha.... finished.

we're going to a beachside kiosk restaurant cafe thingy, you know, those things, to relax now. it's next to the beach. where there's sand and sea and water and seagulls and things. only it's a bit cold for swimming.

i think i've just lost half my iq points with that last exam, it was totally evil, things they told us weren't going to be in it were, and they had random focus on totally irrelevant topics. i have to say though, i like oscas better... OSCA: where you have ten minute stations and you can't go back to a station you've already done. better than multichoices anyway.

hahaha... oh so high.

anon, you're an idiot. in my course we get assessed on whether or not we pass exams. so it's got nothing to do with the whole women thing. we have one non-exam assessment each semester, which we also have to pass. and if we fail exams, we do that semester again. i mean one exam fail, the rest we can get perfect, but one exam fail, that's a waste of that semester. so shut up about my *****ing. i think i got a right to *****.

see all later, i am now officially on holidays.

[pyro-manic]

Med school? My mum's doing that. Nasty. I'm sure you'll have done just fine - now enjoy your time off.

[vyper]

Get drunk.

anon, you're an idiot.

You just now figured that out?

[Kamikaze]

Don't worry, he doesn't actually hate women like he claims. He's just in the "Misogyny is cool" phase of life.

[FireCrack]

Yeah, our exams and tests make up about 90% of the years work..

They do at OSU. It kinda bugs me sometimes.

You go to Oregon State University or Ohio State University?

A word of advice from someone who's just finished jumping through the hoops that are exams...

1) Study hard

2) Take frequent breaks while studying so it doesn't completely eat through your life

3) When you go to the exam, don't think about the exam, don't try and remember anything about the exam, don't talk to anyone about anything specific about the exam, and when you leave, do not talk about the exam or think about it or anything of the sort.

Mind you this only works for me but there are cognitive studies done that suggest cramming 12 hours before exams is bad for keeping things in memory and attempting to recall information before getting to the exam can be bad because it will expose what you don't know, causing stress, which releases chemicals into the brain that further inhibit short term memory recall and prevent you from doing well on the exam.

I've blanked out enough times that I eventually had to come up with a routine and a method of doing it.

Take a break sometime soon and do some net research on memory recall and cognition.

That actually works for me. I don't worry about a test until the night before it and only spend whatever time is needed going through everything then. The stuff stays fresh in my memory that way.

I'm a fundamentally lazy student. I have two more exams to go - I should have three more but I didn't hand in all my assignments, so It's impossible for me to pass the class (even if I got 100% on the exam I'd get a U (did not complete)) and I just can't be bothered going. It's an easy class though (just work intensive, which is why I suck at it).

I also refuse to apply myself or study - I honestly believe I could be topping most of my classes if I made the effort - half the time I know the stuff before I'm told it, just through general reading and wikipedia and stuff, the other half I understand the concepts behind it even if I'd never seen the dots connected before.

That said, it's a beautiful day outside and I'm going to go swimming. I don't care

[Grey Wolf]

I have a final tomorrow morning in eight hours, then I'm done for the quarter.
