Exams

My least favourite time of the year is upon us. Examination time. Again this year we end up writing exams in the classrooms. Normally we write in the gym/cafe but normally it is hot and horrible to sit through. Last semester was in the gym seeing as the middle of winter is okay, but when it is suppose to be, you know, hot or something, I go to school wearing the uniform sweater that I haven't worn since Easter since we don't have to (the vest I have worn, but not the sweater) it was that cold. That and wearing the uniform while writing the exam makes it seem like a large test.

The government was stupid to lower the number of exam days we can have. So for our school to be able to find out if the grads are actually graduating our exam days were pushed back into our school days. Today we had to go write our first period exam and then attend class. I was going to leave early to study but 'twin 2' (who really needs a better name) and I planned to study together and she wanted to attend the 2 classes she has (stupid co-op has no exams). So I stayed the entire day. By the time I got to physics (my last class) I was the only girl left with 9 guys. No one else showed up to the class. So I mainly actually focused on studying in class, but its my last exam.

I gave up on studying already, I know I should but I figured I looked at the question I know is on the exam. Right before I go into my accounting exam I plan on memorizing the net income so I know if I have it right or not. Also having an idea of what the worksheet over all looks like would be some help. Somehow I'm not so worried about this exam even though I need at least 92% on the exam to keep my mark, and 97% if I want my mark to up 1%. At least the teacher believes that test are for harder questions and exams for finishing to make sure the have the information learnt. You can memorize something right before a test, but an exam takes more knowledge so it proves that something stuck.

What I don't understand are people who pull away from the rest of the world during exams to study. Even though its a big part of school, studying to much isn't the greatest. I will confess that I probably don't study enough, seeing as I didn't even finish the math review before the exam, but I can't study. I could sit there and try to force myself into studying but I find that to harsh. People need to take a break and learn that they know most of the stuff. Mainly what they have to do is learn what they are unsure about. Don't second guess what you know. Sure you should review it but don't over do it. People tell you need to study, but don't forget about yourself. Who knows more about what you need to study or how you should study. People tell me to study in a quiet room by myself, but I can't stand it. I need music playing or a tv on. Which caused a problem 2 years ago seeing as my sister needs the quiet.
