finals

so how many of you have finals to write/ have written finals? what are you taking? what do you do to avoid studying for them? etc.

right now i've done a mechanics final, didn't go to badly, wrote my calc exam, that wasn't bad either, now i've got a chem final tomorrow, i'm worried bout that one, and an introduction to engineering final on friday, and i'm a little worried about that one.

I pretty much do whatever i can when i'm avoiding studying, be it facebook, msn, AF, break.com, youtube, etc. i just find things to do. sometimes i'm just trying to figure something out and it's not coming so i just get frustrated and go crank out a few chinups, come back and tackle it again.

does anyone pull all nighters for exams? i haven't yet but i might have to for my intro to engineering class, i haven't been to that class since the second week of september, it's a bullshit course but it's still alot of info to cram into your head in a day.

I always cram the day before for finals. But I have been done with them for about a week now.

^same here

I always claim I'll study for at least 3 days leading up to the exam but the best I ever achieved was cracking the textbook a good 36 hours before test time. I was pretty proud of myself that time. Usually I end up waiting til T-12 hours

yeah i started studying yesterday a bit but i didn't do anything serious until today, plus i got a late start on things since i blazed last night so i didn't wake up until 12 or 1.

Welcome to engineering. EVERYONE procrastinates, so if you have an engineering lab, go there before the test, i can guarantee you 90% of the people (left) in your class will be there cramming. I have my calc 2 and chem final tomorrow. I'm here right now. Ha.

I'm done with finals now! yay! I'm going into IET (Industrial Engineering Tech) so I can definitely second that engineers are procrastinators. I don't think I started studying for any of my finals until the day before, other than my programming final (which I tanked anyway). I pulled 2 A's, a B, and a C. Not too shabby considering how crappy my semester went.

Just dealing with the wifes Law school finals one more semester and she is done. I start my Masters in January.....Not looking forward to that. She as I always pull all nighters. Its the only way to retain the info before the test so right after the test you can forget about it.

Haha...I finished finals December 6th.

holy fuck, this is disappointing. i just got out of my chem exam feeling like the shit because it was way easier than i thought it would be and i knew most of the stuff on the final. then i went and checked the marks on my mechanics course, it said i have a B-, so 70-75%. that's horrible considering i had an 86% going into the final. i think they messed up the marks because that would mean i got a maximum of 62% on my final to drop me to a b-. i'm emailing my prof right now to clear things up.

I want to get into engineering but I'm far from a school that teaches it...I should be getting A's in calculus but I think I just failed the class, I probably will fail in c++, I feel so goddamn stupid right now. I wish I could start over, that's all I really need. I could major in Art and gets A's but my friends say that art majors are stupid, which really made my day because that's the only class I'm getting a B+ in (probably, probably not A because I know my grades) Seriously though It's easier to put a lot of work into an art class, especially when it's 3 hours and you work mostly in class. MAth you have to study for, which I did, see my stress release thread about that class. C++, I reallly fell behind, to the point that I wonder If I could ever be a computer programmer, ever.

Engineering, don't get me started. Don't even go there, I have 0 experience.
