How do you do Exams?

[Admiral Naismith]

With so many of use having just done, doing, or just about to do major exams/tests, I thought it would be interesting to see other people's work ethics towards them.

 

How do you prepare for tests? Do you study/how much? What do you hope to get? What do you do afterwards?

 

 

I study the week-end before. Not much, just to refresh my brain. I hope to get an A, but a B is fine. I usually chill if I have the time with a smoothie or something refreshing after the mind-f*ck that is exams.

The night before, with lotssss of breaks.

A+ bruh.  What else is there?

[werto165]

Well I'm resitting the last year of sixth form so I'm studying right now. Hopefully to get an A in maths.

I study a couple of months before an exam, might want to add that option in there.

I can understand concepts and ideas just fine, its always specific names and dates that get confusing for me. I study a little while before just to refresh my mind on what Law is what.

[david cassar]

I study about a month or so before.

[Bsmith]

ehmm mostly paying attention in class, afterwards it's kinda the following.

 

look at start time and classes.

look up what to study

go to sleep

wake up

eat breakfast etc

go to school, study sorft of in bus.

listen to people practicing with each other and stress out.

go into class

make test

turn in

get grade

 

that's my process, my grades are most of the time ranging between a 6 and 8( 1 to 10 point system)

I've never ever studied . I always get around an A. And then I dont give a fuck about it after. Exhibit A:

Mom: You study for your test

Me: No

Mom: Your gonna fail.

*Next day*

Mom: what'd you get

Me: A. No biggie.

I'm guessing you're not in college

Not yet but I take IB which they say is like college in academics.

It gets harder in college. You will begin to have to study. And if you still Ace tests in college, good for you, become a major because you're a genius. I've only heard about one other genius, he completed college without going to any classes, and got an amazing job.

Holy balls that guy's good. I'm not that good. I have to atleast go to the classes.

Yeah, he only came to class on the last day to take the exam.

[szomeret]

In high school I just winged it. Even the AP tests.

But, uh, in university it was far more difficult for the engineering courses. I actually had to learn how to study. I tried group study once but that was counter productive, I do best alone.

[Ruostunut kokis]

I usually study a day before, and/or one hour before exams, if I have time for such. My grades are mostly between 6 and 8 (grading system is from 4 to 10, like from F to A+ but with numbers instead of letters), with some exceptions: Swedish will be 4 (AKA failure) no matter what, and English will be 8 at the minimum, hopefully better. Oh, and I have been like this from the start of middle school until this day (high school sophomore).

 

My grades aren't good. Might just barely get into a low tier polytechnic school or some not-so good university with these grades.

[RyomaSJibenG]

i never aim for A though its nice getting it (usually i get A- or B+ occasionally get A depending on the subject)

i studied few days before the exam, asking questions and do some exercises/reading

pretty laid back actually since you study earlier means stress free study and enjoy playing my games

 

 

after i'm done instead of riding the bus to get back to the college, i took a night walk to the store and buy me some pringles/soda to watch movie later on

[SIGSEGV]

Other than tutoring every weekend for two hours I just go in cold, because I just can't revise and trying to is just pointless stress

[Wind]

i'm on exam right now. My plan of studying is : only study when you want to do it. you will remember more clearly and have better mood.

[Albatross]

I study weeks or months before, I usually screw up because I am an idiot and then I cray-cray softly while staring at the ceiling. Ha. Bet you didn't see that coming.

 

 

P.S

 

I don't know why but I laughed my ass off at the Cold Play option. :lol:

[Kamina]

I don't study very much. My homework is pretty much my study and it does me well. If I slack off on that, it all goes down hill on the exams. Always ask your teacher questions if you don't understand something, it has definitely saved my ass a lot.

 

I also do everything at the last minute under extreme stress.
