Re: Finals Thread
I've got an AP Mock exam tomorrow. I just have to get a 4 and I'll be fine. Ive got my finals in the last week of May and the AP exam on the 12th. That ones gonna suck.
I'm pretty much done studying, I've bitched, moaned, and groaned.

My finals are in two weeks and the only one I'm really stressed about is my government final. Programming should be easy since she lets us use our books on everything and my Comp. II final is an in-class essay (page and a half, easy stuff) over some political cartoon.

Re: Finals Thread
My government final was today!
I calculated my grade based on how many questions I know I got right and how many I guessed. I needed a 98 on the test to make an A in the class....(I need an A to get my target GPA to get into my department)
There's a good chance I made a 96...which means my grade will be an 89.4 in the class...which I'm going to bonking rage if that's the case because it means I'll have missed an A by a fraction of a question based on public approval ratings of bonking Congress members.
I tore some ligaments in my ankle so I missed the notes and borrowed from someone else for a lecture. Lo and behold, the questions I probably missed were the ones I borrowed shitty notes from.

This semester was pretty easy for me, so I'm not too worried about them. Microeconomics isn't hard as long as I study up on the terminology, same for Statistics. My business overview class is really straightforward, and I'm really good in my Japanese class so I'm not really concerned.
Also, hell yeah to writing as a profitable hobby.

Senior slump is AWFUL. Especially when there's only one class that I actually need for my major, and THAT'S a 20+ pg capstone paper. *sighs* And it's not like I genuinely don't want to do the work - I want to because I know I have to. It's just I'm struggling to get the motivation that I normally have, and I constantly have to fight it - and that's thanks to senior slump.
Finals start this Tuesday for me - two tests in a row, and then the big paper. I've got a mini paper due on the 10th that I plan on getting out of the way this weekend, because it's going to save a boatload of hassle (the class was sadly a bit of a joke as well) After that I get to take a test on the 9th and then a trip to Toronto before Graduation weekend.
I do know someone that wants to write for a living. She's taking a year off to find internships and to make sure she really wants to do grad school, and then start applying. I do want to go to grad school, but I'm going to look 5X better to prospective schools if I have at minimum 2 years of work experience under my belt.

Re: Finals Thread
Ugh, MCAS. I have to take the Physics one in June. At least I won't have to take the Biology one next year.
I'll only have to take one final, and that's Physical Science. It's extremely easy; I wouldn't have had to take it if my grade reflected that.

Re: Finals Thread
Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System. It's Massachusetts' standardized testing, and you take it every year until high school; then you only have to take it once in each core subject at the end of sophomore year. You can't graduate high school until you pass. Teachers tend to obsess over it. It's generally easy, except that some of the multiple choice/open responses are incredibly vague.

This thread should be renamed: Fuck I Never Learned This Shit
I think my first one is on the 23rd. I only have 3, but 2 of them will pose a thread....I'm dreading the Calc II one.

Really? Around here, everyone knows about it even if they don't go to public school because we all rant about it so much, haha.
Hahaha. The kids in my science class say that every three seconds.

Re: Finals Thread
I wish I lived in a city...but people tell me I wouldn't last five minutes. =w=
And to get back on topic, the dead month we have after MCAS is going to be spent learning about chemistry. I'm kind of upset, because after MCAS is when we usually do experiments and learn about awesome things not in the curriculum. It's basically what school should be like, because we all want to learn. But because of MCAS, our curriculum is really restricted...which is exactly what they want.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're starting a History one in my year, too.
