Title: Exams/midterms/finals/...
Post by: Laura on January 21, 2004, 07:00:01 pm
Whatever you wanna call them, do you get stressed out? lol We call them finals at my school, haha but yeah this semester I am way too stressed.

Tomorrow I have my Fitness Walking final (lmao, yeah we actually have a final for that class, my teacher was mocking his own final  :lol: ) then I have my Mixed Chorus final, then good ol' Algebra.. which I already failed the first half but it is okay since I have an A in that class anyway  :razz:

Do you guys get out early on exams/midterms/finals week? We do.. 11:56 but i'm staying later for a Drama thing tomorrow, then the next day i'm getting out earlier because i'm ditching English! hah!

I have a physics midterm.. for which I will only dooo MINIMAL studying .. if any at all..


Soo we have a week off (well, four days and we go back to normal school friday) for midterms and I only have to go to school.. two of the four days (once for physics, once for guidance scheduling thing)

Soo that is quite nice.

BUT.. I will be freaking out at the end of the year.. surely..

Oh they scare me to death! Well, most of them. The next one I'm taking (Public International Law) is really easy so I'm even listening to music while I study, but ost of the rest really stress me... the worst thing is that it's not just a week for me, it's 3 weeks of exams!! I started Jan 19th and will finish Feb 9th  :?  That's 9 exams in all. Scary innit?

i'm not so much afraid of exams/tests, but all those essays, assignments (predominantly for cultural studies), and papers are really exhausting me.

They stress me because I think all of our professors are in collusion to make all of the exams be on the same day, in the same week that make you study 7 chapters for a 50 question exam that is 40 percent of your grade. *sigh*.

That said, I still beat down my exams and stand over them triumphantly with an A :twisted:

I put yes, but i alwyas have confidence in myself when I take test/quizzes/exams/finals because thats how I do better on them.

If you believe in yourself, you can get a good grade, i know its weird and I don't say it aloud, but if I'm stuck on something I repeat this in my mind, "I believe in you, you can do this."

and I do get a good grade.

So.. our fitness walking final was freakin hilarious, yes hilarious. oh my gosh, lol I KNOW I got an A on that. (no more cute P.E. teacher though  :cry: ). Then I had my Mixed Chorus final, that was interesting/kinda fun. I played Delta Goodrems "Innocent Eyes" for them, they love her. lol I got an A on the sight reading/singing (do, re, me, fa, sol etc.) i'm not sure about the written part, but I have a 100% in that class, so that rocks. Then good ol' algebra, blah lol I get to see what my final grade for that class is tomorrow morning before school *crosses fingers I did well*

ahh i'm SO scared for my Drama final tomorrow! We had rehearsal after school today and our teacher was going insane on us! lol but it wen't pretty good. We only had one person missing this time! Yay for us, haha

congrats laura!!! I'm sure you did better in your chorus and your gym class then I could ever do. Luckily here we don't have to take midyears or finals in our electives.


So today was that freaking english exam...so hard. Half way through the exam I'm sitting there doing my 5 paragraph essay and he comes around and hits my head...lol it's very effective...and says Shelly I know you can write more....don't be a slacker!! write more!! So I write and write and that freaking essay takes me like a half an hour...so I'm writing and he comes over again looks on the back of my paper and then hits my head again...he doesn't like when you write on the back of paper...ahh he is a tree waster  :roll:....What are you doing Shelly? I hate things written on the back! so I say sorry and he is like it's ok...I need to go breathe....and then reminds the class that Billy's ass is acrad(sp). I wrote on my essay how Juliet Capulet and Lucie Manette were alike. I think I did a good job on that essay too. It was filled with lots of detail after getting my head hit twice...crazy school I go to. The short story was about a guy who had 2 dogs and he was like a sledder and he ate one of the dogs. It was stupid. Made me want to cry.....vocab was good....grammar was ok. I think I did ok but not terrific. I'll see tomorrow morning when I go in for my physics one..but I'm thinking about A- ish B+

my school had finals the whole week before Christmas break. and during that week we took one final each day and got out of school at 10:30 a.m. so i didn't mind finals too much.

i got a 99% in world history
85% in math (i haaaate math)
92% in french
95% in biology
100% in jazz band
90% in symphonic band
95% in english

so i'd say i did pretty well. at the end of the year we have another final over everything we've learned that year. i'm more worried about that one. not sure i can remember all that stuff.... :roll:

I took some of my AP Spanish final today...oh my god it was so easy!!!

Its an actual AP exam from 1987! first we did the Ensayo (essay) and then we did the cassette, which was a little difficult because on the last picture I forgot what to say and almost ran out of time, but I'm sure I got an A.

i just finished my midterms yesterday. yay for having gpa/ class rank frozen now! ;-) i hated exams all through high school until this year, when i hardly studied for them.. they don't count for much at my school anyway.

though, i kind of enjoyed spanish exams.. they are like a puzzle!

aww... you think? did you get the grade or are you just guessing? cause if it helps, i thought I failed too, lol. I guessed on ALOT of those questions, so I guess I'm just lucky.

I ended up guessing on a lot too. I'll probably get the exam back wednesday or maybe he will post the results on his door. I don't know.

There was like 50 multiple choice which wasn't that hard. I knew most of them but there was like 10 that I totally guessed on. Then there was stuff like find the acceleration of a ball with a velocity of 10 and stuff and like magnitude and stuff. Then there was this one question that was like find the vertical amont of an escalator in a 45 degree angle with a horizontal of 3 kg. We wouldn't use calculators on that problem only a protractor. I thik I got it right but it took me like 20 minutes. Then there was a line graph which was really easy. So I don't think I failed I think I got like a Cish.
