Had them yesterday.

I can get a 0% on all of them and end every class with a C, so I barely studied at all knowing that if I didn't try I would still get all B's since there is no way to actually do worse than a 50% for me.

Fit/Rec, German, and Trig Finals were pretty damn easy, nothing less than a 70% on those.

ChemStudy Final: Bombed it, hoping I got more than a 50% to keep a B+ instead of a B. My Chem Teacher is a dick anyway, He never taught us anything. The first time my parents met him on parent's night they thought he was a complete nut job. He just threw 100 page packets at us and said to do pages 5, 11, 55, etc...without telling us anything. Not to mention the pages were never in numerical order...apparently 7 comes after 1 and 19...

Bah, I hate Finals with a passion. I feel like all they are used for is to screw the procrastinators over. I procrastinate so much yet I always get A's and B's and I guess the administrations view that as a load of BS and wanna get us back for being better than they would have hoped.

The School system is broken. There are so many things wrong with it. I'm sure we have all wondered why we need to learn about Biology, Chemistry, *insert your worthless class here* sort of thing. Well, I'm still wondering myself. Oh, and I can't retain such boring information either so all it is, is a waste of my time. Don't try saying any of that "well it will make you all around knowledgeable" either. That's some old-fashioned BS right there children! It's useless if we will never use it, so why be all around knowledgeable when it never comes to use anyway? Pointless Garbage if you ask me.

Anyway, my next semester won't be so asstastic. I have Engineering Drawing, Java, LA 11, and Am Gov't. Two are classes I enjoy, one will be a BSing period (LA), and one will actually be educational (But yet, more useful than the Periodic Table). LA is so easy. Writing book reports and short stories is so easy because I can BS like no other.

I typed too much, I'm going to go play WoW now. And don't forget, Es ist Zeit fur Rache!

You mean end of semester tests, right? (we don't call them exams here)
They would have been last week. I didn't really have any, though. Quiz in AP Physics (aced it) and a test on a book we'd read in English (did good on that too). My favorites are the end of year state tests. I almost always get 90+% on them, helps that I'm usually in honors classes so I get to take a test meant for someone that (in theory) had learned less.

I had English and Physics finals last week, and my AP Calc final this Tuesday. I pwned the English and Physics ones, but got raped by the Calc final. That class was terrible. It was the kind of class taught by an incompetent hag that looks like E.T. and made me dislike the subject matter (which wasn't all the difficult to begin with) altogether. I'm a math person; I enjoy math, but that class made me hate calculus.

Oh well, I'm sure I'll have a better calc teacher in college.

Depends on the class. If it was for any of my math classes, I didn't even try...as regardless of the score I was gonna get, I was still going to fail the class anyway (i've failed all of my math classes i've ever had at least once...except for one...but I'm pretty sure the teacher just passed me so I could graduate, lol) I enjoy math, but I never did the homework..aced all the tests, but because I didn't do any homework, I failed miserably each time.

BUT, if the test was for History or Science, it was a good time..mainly cause my teachers for those classes always wrote up their own tests, and were very humerous. I still have those old tests from those classes, as they're really quite funny.

Shoot, now I feel like reading through those things...time to go diggin through the old boxes, lol.

I have 2 next week. physics and history of the spread of diseases... I ma not looking forward to the latter of the two at all.

I;m a toss up. It depends on the class with me if I like the exams or not. More interesting/easy = like.

my degree is heavily coursework based so ive got most of the work out the way already and ive only 2 minor exams, had one so far and was one of the easiest tests ive done i think. It was a comprehension exam based off an article from Prospect. And the first question might as well have been "write you name for 2 marks"

Seriously.

The first question was "who wrote this article and what position in governmenr did he hold at the time?" and at the top of the article it says in bold type "John Denham, Secretary of state for innovation, universities and skills"

But hey shouldnt complain really its easy marks

just hope my other one is as easy
