Title: Ugh, finals.
Post by: Silverhawk79 on December 08, 2008, 12:01:17 PM
I've been studying my ass off for the past 4 hours to get ready for my History 101 final exam, which is in just over 2 hours. If I don't ace this final, I'll probably end up failing History. D=
Anyone else stressed out about finals?

None yet.  I will probably have a psychology final in January/February with midterms for everything else.  I'll be stressing with the Physics, Pre-Calc, and Italian (especially because this practice paper we're doing is just going to go through Google Translate anyway) midterms.

Our high school midterms are in late January, so I'm not worried about them yet.

I understand I can't do this in college, but I usually study the day OF the test :P

I don't usually study, and if I do, it's in lunch/the period before the test.

I had my Calculus 1 final today, and it was easier than expected. My grades have gradually been increasing in that class the last month or two.

Dude, history is beyond easy X_X;;

I have sociology tomorrow at 8 in the morning (ugh) and CS1315 Wed. and then I'm done for winter break. Overall I think my grades will still be pretty good, assuming I don't intercourse  up big time.

Nope. I'm always GREAT with tests. I always pass them, even if I haven't been paying attention all year.

I have only two finals, one a take home test answer 2 of like 6 question, it even tells us what page to find the answers on, the other is to turn in our Journal (which we worked on all semester) and some online quizzes

It's not that hard, usually names/dates/events lead into eachother or out of causation. History was always my best subject. Picked up that little talent from my grandad....

I have mine in January (yay HighSchool) but since exemptions (Yay HighSchool again), I'll probably only have to take two of my four. Bio DC because it's a "college" class, and Calculus because I'm pretty much failing.

I've got midterms, and to tell you the least I'm more concerned about this week than midterms.
Teachers are piling on tests like crazy. Basically it's our last grade besides the exam for the semester. And also scaring the poop out of everyone.
Mostly im concerned with Spanish. My teacher is HORRID and thinks we are like AP students in college. She's extremely difficult, and I'm afraid of her exams being the same.
So mostly, not too stressed.
Goodluck to you Silver

I have a week of school after the holidays before midterms.

Phew. History is over with, I just hope I passed.
Tomorrow is CS101, and then CS191 is later...somewhat nervous about both of those.

I'm not stressed, I usually get below average in history, above average in math, and average in everything else.
And they're not 'till next week, so that lessens the blow.

Never got stressed over school, sitting back and doing like nothing usually gets me fine grades.

I've got Midterms coming up next week.

Our school, however, allows students to be exempt from Finals if they have earned a final grade of an "A".
I'm taking two semester courses, so that lets me be exempt from those two classes.
Those are my easiest classes though, so I'm extremely nervous. >_>

I usually get good grades, but recently I've been studying more to get even better grades.
I'm most nervous for Math, AP World History, and Physics (I DON'T GET PHYSICS!).
Even though History usually comes easy for me, it's just so much to remember and my math teacher is just impossible. D:

There's also Spanish and English which I'm also kinda stressed about.

...And being sick definitely doesn't help.  :robotsad:

Mine aren't until some time in January.
I'm usually good with tests. Except I got a D on my last Geometry test...but my teacher was nice and let us redo the ones we got wrong, giving me a 71%. He only gave us half credit after we reached 70%. I still got an A- in that class, though.
Plus, the exam days are half days. :)

Yep, finals all next week except for Friday.

Pending a snow day, or potentially two.

I don't even know when I have finals.  The only finals I'm aware of are the AP tests on may; which will be five--I think.

This is my first time on the finals thing, I didn't have this back in Mexico.

My finals are the last 3 days of the next week, 2 exams on each day, I'm a bit worried, but my grades so far are A+.

Though I get to go to home earlier at 10:45 AM. ;)
