"Last Minute Studying Tips" or "WAUGH FINAL TOMORROW!"

Seil · 12-07-2011, 05:05 PM

Good news: my teacher tells us that she accepts bribes. Bad news: the only bribes she accepts are the ones that allow her the freedom to quit her job and never work again.

So've got me math final tomorrow, and I feel... okay about it, but I know I'll flunk the graphing portion because graphing is terrible and I hate it. But most of the things we've done, I've had an okay grasp of... maybe. Anyway, it's at 10.30 tomorrow and I've got about 3 hours with it and a calculator, so we'll see. It's on factoring, graphing and trigonometry.

Does anyone have any tips, tricks or cheat codes?

(I already have the Konami code, thank you very much.)

Last minute studying tip: don't leave your studying until the last minute.

Really, you ideally want to be relaxed the day before an exam. Maybe revise general pointers for an hour or so, but doing a massive revision binge hurts more than it helps.

And don't back slide on us already, seil!

Eat a candy bar before the test.

Also, make sure you get a full nights sleep, before the test.

Just got free pizza. M'birthday's in a week. There is good in the universe. I can do this.

I've got 59%, and the test is worth 25% of the total mark. I can do this. Where are my flashcards?!

Post threads on various forums asking how to write an exam that entails knowledge you should have internalized over the course of four months. For good measure, also message various people to let them know you're totally studying. Maybe google some studying tips. Stay up late and sleep with your textbook under your head, since knowledge works like osmosis.

Yes ma'am!

I have 543 slides on software engineering to fully remember for tomorrow.

We're in the same boat Seil. It's not a very good boat.

I have a test in the morning, and I'm not gonna study at all because that's how I roll.

Like, eight in the morning "in the morning." I'm gonna come home from it and go back to bed. I'm looking forward to that; it's like the best feeling ever. Wondermark agrees.

I have a Managerial Accounting exam tomorrow. On the plus side we get a cheat sheet for formulas. On the down side it's managerial fucking accounting.

Even after I learned, grew up, and came to be on the right side of a lot of important issues, I was still angry, abrasive, and generally increased the amount of hate in the world, in pretty unacceptable ways. On the off chance that someone is taking a trip down memory lane looking through those old threads, I wanted to devote my signature to say directly to you, I'm sorry. Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.
