Why must there be finals?

So, it's that time of the semester again...time for final exams.  This must be the most stressful time of the year.  I know how much I have learned this semester, but I don't think it is possible to cram 15 weeks of learning into a 2 hour exam... Undecided Oh well, I guess it's back to studying....
 
Oh, and why would you schedule an exam on a Saturday...and not just any Saturday, the 23 of December, a meer 2 days before Christmas!?!?!  I'm just glad I'm only an hour and a half from home (and that's if I drive the speed limit  Wink )

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Why? So you can prove how incredibly intelligent you are.... or maybe it's just so that the parents who pay the tuition will have proof that their kid did something other than party.....?

Exam 2 DAYS before Christmas???! That horrible! Angry
i thought that it was bad enough when my flat mate has her final exam on 21st...
 
Teresa, back in here schools and universities have more sense. Us unifolkes are on Christmas vacation already and school kids have their final school days ahead early next week. Then it will be just Christmas Party and off to vacation.
 
Lots of luck for your exam! thumb  
 
Best wishes,
Sanna

Teresa,
 
After years of cramming (I'm not a good test taker) for finals, I finally developed a system:  I'd read the book before I ever went to the first class (didn't understand all of it, but ....), then take notes and ask questions in class (what I read is making sense now) and when finals came I'd just go over my notes. After I started doing this my test scores were mostly "A's", with a minimum of study. Won't help you this semester, but might next one.  
 
Good luck on your finals.
 
Hugs BD

Bravo Bro!  
 
I don't mean to sound unsympathetic Teresa but what Jonny said is 100% dead on correct.  Print out your post and look at it every 10 years and see if jonny was correct.  
 
Good luck in your exams.

If ya truly want to "remember" all that you need to for your exams then do not cram one particuliar subject.
 
Imbed important information into other subject matter and that will be rememberered.
 
If you are studying history then alternate between psychology or math.
 
It is loosely based on Von Restorff effect.
A proven way to REMEMBER important information.
 
Good luck and breathe!

I learned by osmosis.  I would put my pile of books under my head when I went to bed and I would sleep like that.  Obsorbing and dreaming of nothing but school stuff.  I would get A's on all my finals so there must be something to it.  No really, I felt there was just to much material to cover and either I already knew it or I never would attitude.  Good luck in your studing.  I hope you do well.

Woobie...you get scheduled to work on Christmas?  That really does not sound like much fun.  
 
Thanks for the suggestions on how to make studying/remembering easier.  I'm not usually a crammer, but every once in a while, unfortunately, that is what happens...
