It is that time again :)

For those of you in school and working your way through or into finals, how are you fairing? I have five classes with four total final exams. I completed three final exams today (passed all with acceptable grades) and will be taking my fourth and last exam tomorrow morning to end the semester. I will either have 3 A's, 1 B, and 1 D (not pretty, but D is still passing and I get the credit) or 3 A's, 1 B, and 1 F (because math is just that terrible).

I finished last Friday and I ended up with 3 A's and 1 B. I'm satisfied. My Summer classes start in 2 weeks though, not looking forward to that

Glad i pass the exams stage all i gotta worry about now is my dissertation, which has taken me over 3 months!

Exams are this week and next week for me. Today I have a Literature exam, and I can feel the fail coming.

If it wasn't for math I would be in the same boat as far as grades go. My dad and I reviewed all of the lessons from the midterm to now and I am up with plenty of time to review it all over again myself to give myself the best shot at coming out of this thing alive so to speak.

In my experience with long papers (5+ pages) it is the worst aside from math so I wish you the best of luck with that, kid. I remember my essay from my SAT which was bad enough; nothing worse than a paper or essay that is meant to be 2-3 pages, but you can write everything that needs to be said in one page or less.

I burned through three of my four finals yesterday and completed the homework for a class that does not have a final so today will be my final final even with reviewing last night and reviewing again here in a bit for this math final, I am still preparing myself to do poor enough to not maintain at least a 60% passing grade. You figure at a cost of about $6,000/yr and with five classes per semester, if I were to fail this math course I would be out four month's time + $1,200 and I would obviously lose the credit and quite possibly would have to take the same course over again as it is one of the few transferable math credits to the university of my choice. God help me, just this once let me do well enough to maintain at least a 60%.

This is one thing I do not miss about school :p

Oh well, once I go back I'll be looking at finals every 3 months :p

Finals every three months o_o how can they even be considered finals lol.

Update: 80% on math final exam to pass the class and earn my credit

Because nursing school here is put into 14 classes.
2 classes each semester, 2 semesters a year ofc.

Yeah it happened to me a lot when i first started my dissertation but after a year i'm on 4 1/2 pages of me just slapping long words together while trying to make sense

I don't have finals because I'm an awesome cat.

Don't have my exams until June, but have AP exams this week and next. Only thing really "up in the air" is whether I get 4 A's and 1 B or 5 A's.

Fuck you, AP Lang and Comp

got a 5 on that exam last year, might not grammar like that on here but i can rhetoric damn good.

next year finals will be sucky as depaul does trimesters instead of semesters   

also took ap psych which was pretty easy, gotta take macroeconomics too, hoping for a 4-5 on both of those because those are actually relevant to what i'm doing next year

Taking the AP Lang and Comp exam this friday. God I hate rhetorical analysis and synthesis essays
>.< Hoping to get 5

Pain. And alot of it.

This is my first semester I've ever not gone to school! I've completed 1 1/2 years of college and decided to take a break for this semester. It's crazy not having to worry about school!

Iiii actually finished in april lol. #CanadianSchools

I did have 6 courses and 4 finals, marketing had a final report+presentation instead of an exam and my other was a lab course.

Samez, dude. It's actually been pretty refreshing to not have to worry about any exams, but also have been doing a lot of other independent work and studying in its place to prepare for an internship! I have two more semesters for my BA in economics which I'll complete when I return either in fall or spring.

how could you say such a dastardly thing about maths... maths is lovely... maths is awesome..
if she were a woman she'd be fine. but hopefully at "worst" youve got a D for the lubberly creditos

Basic math such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division I would agree; I can do those in my head faster than my brother can do it on paper and sometimes even quicker than he can do it on a calculator, but collegiate math is something I would take into a back alley and shoot dead if given the chance. I did pass the class as I earned an 80% on the final and with that I never in my life have to take a math course again (I made sure of that by asking my course advisor Tuesday when signing up for Fall courses).
