Are you guys worried about exams? / How much do you study? - General

Got my first exam on wednesday, not particularly worried, i've studied enough. I usually only do a little bit of study before the exam every now and then, and then spend a few hours the following nights before... ...usually works v:v:v

I dedicate a couple of hours to revision, and while i'm on the internet for my own leisure I still keep a relevant study topic open in a tab to quickly scan through when waiting for something else. I am rather worried about all my exams, as i've only got a 28.3% attendance rate at college due to hospital related things. But I hope to do ok.

I'm not really fussed about the exam myself, I do worry about the teachers yelling at me for drawing ninja's at the bottom attacking a whale.

Once I learn something I retain it pretty easily. The problem for most students is that it's all about memorization and not about actually learning. So no i've never studied for a test in my life besides looking over a review sheet 5 minutes before the test starts.

I study for Spanish and mathematics, but nothing else besides that. As long as you don't dipshit around the whole class, and have a good memory, you won't have to study. I read half the time and I still pass school with good grades.

I study for spanish a bit because learning a new language is a little bit hard, but I have to study a lot for math because I struggle with it quite a bit.

Never study, rarely do mandatory review work, pass with an A.

I have AP(Advanced Placement) Exams coming up in 2 weeks. I'm pretty nervous about AP World, but not so much about AP Psychology.

Getting A/A*s with very little revision. Only subject I'm slightly behind in is Geography with Bs in practice papers but I still have about a month and a half until my Geog exam.

I barely study up until tests :buddy: [editline]12:12AM[/editline] And I usually do well

Hell no, school's always come natural to me. I get straight A's without studying so studying would be pretty pointless

I never study. I just get average grades all the time. I almost always get As on tests. The only subject I get bad grades in is health, and that's because I refuse to take the baby doll home.

I have a few AP exams coming up soon, as well as finals, so I've been studying for the past month or so. I find a good study area is the key to studying well. Cozy (not too cozy, however) temperature + comfy chair + good cigs = productive study time.

Since at my school senior exams and APs don't really count for very much and since everybody is already in college, nobody really studies... I'm not really studying for any of them, just raped a physics exam.

To be fair, I did call him out on bullshit when I should have just kept my mouth shut, but oh well.

[QUOTE=PrismatexV8;21637611]I got bad grades in health (Bs) because my teacher hated me.

A lot of my teachers do.

Today I got a 7 in C# with 3 days of work, where the first day I slept through it, and the third day I only had 2 hours to work on it. Getting decent grades is easy, as long as you can sell your shit to the sensor, otherwise you'll get bad grades no matter how good you made it.

i don't study because i am asian

Well, if we're talking college classes, of the two I've taken, I've barely studied at all and I've gotten B+s. Mr. Hill even let us use notes on the exam... which I never used.

sry asians dont study

It really depends on where/who you are. The higher your education is, the harder things will be if you don't study. I typically just study until I know how to do everything I need to know how to do. Then I do a quick review, and call it good.

I never studied in high school. i'm in college now and I find myself studying a bit, not a lot though.

I'm pulling a 64 in my math class right now, mostly due to my mental math being absolute shit and even though I understand a large portion, I'm slow. I find that the teacher puts the questions worth the most at the end of the test, which I frequently never get to, thus getting really bad test scores even though might be able to do those questions. It's the only class I really stress out on, with computer science I'm miles ahead of everyone and have a 100% grade. If I wanted to I could take a nap all next week in class and not have my mark drop... Yeah, tests/exams freak me the fuck out.

I only study for Spanish and Biology. Other than that I never study.

I never studied until this year (High school sophomore) AP European History changed that. AP Euro is also the only exam I'm worried about, everything else will be easy as Pi. (see wat I did thar?)

(see wat I did thar?)[/QUOTE] I got a 5 on that, so here are a couple protips. KNOW YOUR GODDAMN KINGS French, English (also different houses), Hapsburg, German, Russian, etc. Know your wars and the main result. There are always several questions on elementary shit like the unification of Germany and Italy. Lots of questions about England and France - they're the biggies. Trust me.

I'm not worried about exams. I'm going to fail the science exam and get c's on the rest, passing with c's for the year.
