In other words, two exams, to which I'm as usual neatly unprepared.

Wish me luck anyway.

Anyone who shares my supernatural inability to prepare for anything, can make fool of himself here as well.:smallamused:

Oh, don't worry. I had one of those days last Friday.

Except it was four exams. Five essay questions. 27 normal questions. Five hours. 12.5 sheets of A4 covered... :/

Good luck.

Bah! Hardly helps for exams where you have to perform synoptic analysis... Maybe I could just fail my exams and become a full-time bum.

Example of how to win:

When I post this, the time will end with either: 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, or 59.

See? The key to not failing is to cover ALL your bases. Write cheat sheets on any place you can think of for your exam, such as your hat-band. Or look across at another classmates paper inconspicously. Or, (and this is a long-shot, at best...) study!

And btw, Failing wouldn'd be a Supernatural ability. It might be Extraordinary, but I think it'd be more of a Trait.

Fail (Ex): You possess the uncanny ability to cause those around you to experience an almost unbelieveable amount of bad luck.

Aww. Poor Vavaara.

Yay, I have 3 exams left. I am going to fail Biology so badly. Likewise with English. My art is going to turn out awful.

Yay for confidence?

I too have had two exams today, totalling a lovely five-and-a-quarter hours spent in exam halls. It is surprising how much that takes out of you.

Definately the night I was up till 2 am doing a project, then learning I have an exam the next day. Also, the project teacher tells me I could have taken two extra days and got -5 points. I got a 70 on the exam, but I know I could have done a lot better.

Also the time I missed a week of school, but still went in while sick to pick up math project rubric. I do the project while sick and pass it in only to learn that there is a backside to it as well. Oh, and the teacher said I could not make it up in any way.

I've got French and Algebra finals tommorow, what cruel and insensitive teacher could've possibly made a test where they advise you to completely reread through over 4 notebooks of material in one night?

This week and next week are my weeks for final exams. Blech.

Wednesday - 50 Problem Advanced Math Exam (Sounds easy, probably deadly)
Thursday - 100 True-False/Fill-in-the-Blank/Multiple Choice + 2 five paragraph argumentative essays
Friday - Easy English/Grammar stuff + one 3 paragraph essay about adversity in the lives of Anne Frank, Myself, and Ponyboy from The Outsiders

[Weekend!]

Monday - Super easy life sciences exam
Tuesday - Mysterious French Exam (I feel prepared, but I have no idea what I'm prepared for.)

Oh yay. :smallannoyed:

I've got French

Snap, mines in two weeks. I'm hampered by the fact that I don't speak it and can't read it. Yet I need it to pass my English degree.

Lucky for me, I managed to avoid Epic Fail today - we had a test in Japanese I was totally unprepared for, even though I had forever to study. Fortunately, Japanese was last class today, so I wrote down a cheat-sheet in Romanji, since it was a oral test, and MEMORIZED. I read that thing over and over and over all day. *sings* Getsuyobi, kayoubi, suiyobi, kayobiiiiiiiii! Bonus points to anyone who knows what that means.

Edit:

Ponyboy from The Outsiders


Aw geeze, I hate that book. I know a few people who like it, and an English teacher who claims everyone who reads it loves it (but then, she's probably the worst English teacher ever, so what does she know. Seriously, she once had a lesson on ironic writing, and spent the whole class using the word "ironical". You can guess what I handed in as my assignment.)

Good luck on the tests!


My advice as a rogue. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=91lQK5SCzlQ)
That's quite dangerous. In colledge, there is a pretty high chance to get caught with it. Nervous, a student is very likely to look at the bottle much longer than he should and then a grad student like me comes by, notices... and it would become an Epic Fail indeed (it will even say on transcript something like "XF" or "F-code", marking it as a epic fail, which is different from a regular one - especially when applying for a job since no one wants to hire a teacher).

Not to mention that notes that short and no pictures will be of very small utility on the exam. Add to that the fact that text that short can be memorized faster than it takes to make such elaborate cheat.

Probably, an easier way is to buy a calculator that has a cover and that cover has a piece of paper with notes on how to use it. Now, some calculators have that note with while text on black background. Write stuff on the black background with something dark and they can only be seen from very close - closer than passing teacher's or TA's eyes. Of course, still make sure you are not staring at it (while looking at it shile typing in the calculator, so it will not look suspicious at all). Of course, chance of getting caught and, as a result, royally shafted for the rest of your life is still there, but it is smaller...

They don't let you have backs on your calculator over here...

You can program your graphic calculator to give you all the info you need, but you can't have a back to it or else it's cheating. :smalltongue:

In fact, I know someone whos calculator came preprogrammed to solve a decent amount of equations...

My advice as a rogue/paladin is not to take her advice as a rogue, because it's not sneaky enough. :smallamused: Much better would be to commit the information to memory; you cannot be caught, and there's nothing they can do to stop you. :smalltongue:

Most of my class(and me) just loooked up wikipedia for the tests. Hurray for my teacher letting me do it on the computer!:smallamused:

Heh! in schools I've been to it is exactly opposite: it is OK to have calculators with backs, but no graphing ones allowed...
