Hi Satindoll,
I'll trade your anxiety over waiting for exam results for my didn't study for a quiz and got nine wrong anxiety. A C! I'll bet you did way better on that exam and the grade will be worth the long wait.

Hi Gee,
It's a trade. I have social anxiety so I would never expect to do well on an oral exam even if I took a fist full of Clonazepam.

Excellent! It was only infront of my prof this time. But I forgot EVERYTHING. Now how do we convince our profs to LET us trade :P

Okay, got my grade 96%, I thought it would be better but I will except it. If I can maintain this score on my next test and improve my last score from my paper in this class I should get an A plus, if not an A in Lifespan Development.
Now only if I can do this in my Abnormal Pysch class, for some reason I did a lot worse and my grade went to a B, but I am 4 points away from an A, so it is possible.
I guess I am kinda freaked because if I want to get into graduate school, it shows I need at least a B plus average. His test are 75% essays and it a junior level class (i didn't know that), I am tech. only a freshman. LOLThen in my music classes I aleady know I have 3 A's, so that would be so cool if I could get all A's! Never ever even came close to that EVER in school.
I was kinda hoping I could relax a bit until the symester is over, but NO! of course not, I need to step it up a notch. Which is so hard to do(okay I know I am whinning) , I just want to get ready for xmas and relax. oh, well.
But you know what , it feels good to feel like I am accomplishing something I could never do before. When I was a child I didn't do well because I didn't want to draw anymore attention to myself because of what my mother would do because she was jelous of me. So I got C's and I always knew I could do better, but finally now, 18 years later, I am proving it to myself.

Oh man, I'm so jelous of your grades. I wish I could do that well. In highschool, I pulled the b's and a's, but mostly I got it because homework counted for everyhting. Most of the time it was just handing it in that matter, not the actual grades, and teachers liked me so they didn't mark as hard.
Then came uni, where tests and papers are everything. I have never been good at writing tests. EVER. And classwork when I was little was all copied off of my friends. Or well mostly. Highschool I did a lot of copying too. I can't do that in Uni.
Man Satin, I am jelous of your good study/work skills. Any hints?

Hi Gee,
I am not sure if I can offer much hints since I am don't feel I do well in written exams. One thing that I do is record the lectures, so I can listen to them to go over my notes and add stuff that I missed, and then if I have time, I listen to them again before the exam.
Another thing I do is get the study guide to the textbook if there is one. I guess another thing is try to study and learn a little each day, so you don't need to learn everything before the test. Maybe trying to practice out loud explaining whatever term you are trying to learn, because if you can talk about it , you can write about it.
In high school I was working a job at least 40 hours a week, to pay for my own clothes, food, music lessons,etc., so I didn't have time to do my homework. I would get f's on homework, but get A's or B's on my tests, so I would end up with C's mostly. It had been over 18 years since I have been in school so I am a bit rusty, and maybe I have to work a lot harder than before, but I am trying. I really like school.
