I really am terrible about it. I don't get nervous at all. Usually put off studying until about an hour before the fact, and walk out always thinking I've done terrible. Almost always end up with an A or B though, so it works, although I know it's a terrible habit.

^Wish it were that easy for me lol

I really need to buckle down in school..

 

I don't get nervous but I hardly study..

I love tests. I hate homework and all the little stuff, but I love tests. I especially like essay tests where I can write to explain my answers, because I usually do near perfect on those. On multiple choice I almost always second guess. In my intro to law a year or so ago, my teacher was so slack, he basically handed us the answers, it was great. I hate it when teachers make papers a test..:(

I have midterms next week and at Berea they give you two days off for classes to study before the exams. I hate studying for the exams because I get to bored which usually causes me to do not so well on them at times:sssh:

 

 

 

Wow, two days off before a test day would be amazing! I'm lucky if I get a few hours to actually sit down and devote all my attention to it. Usually mtv or work interfere

Go to graduate school and your opinions on these tests will flip flop, I guarantee it. You learn there that essay's just give a professor more ammo to tear you down with and multiple choice is either right or wrong with no middle ground.

Yeah, I don't mind multiple choice at all. I just second guess. Tests overall just don't bother me. I guess the reasons I like essay tests is because I am an english major and essays allow you to prove more of what you know regarding the text and it's themes and symbols and ideas. But I definitely see what you're saying. Graduate school is a whole other level lol..haven't quite got there.

I have no problem with exams because I don't have them anymore because I graduated already.

 

But seriously, I can usually feel my way around any kind of test so I don't really have a main preference. It's aways about the professor, and how they word their questions. Tests that usually pose cookie-cutter from the book kind of questions are ones I skip to the chapter summary the morning of the test and take it in. But some profs like to go hardcore and make their own specially designed tests. The only class I ever got into a study group for (I mean, I was SERIOUSLY trying - it wasn't just because a UofL Ladybird was in it) I still did horrible on the tests because the questions were so vague, or maybe the professor gave both answers, but leaned mroe towards one for a specific reason. I learned more from that class in regards to subject matter than any other, but the man's tests were ridiculous.

I have a professor that does that now. Several questions on every test will list nothing but correct answers. He want's the answer that is "most correct":rolleyes:
