I have an exam on Friday.

I WAS TOLD ABOUT IT TODAY. LEAVING ME THREE DAYS TO COMPILE NOTES AND STUDY LIKE MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.

*runs off crying*

Shhh. Everyone will hear us. Everyone will know.

Professors are notorious for that sort of thing. Don't try and cram, space out your studying and don't try and study too much at one time. Also, eat a good dinner and breakfast and go to bed early and I'm sure you'll do fine

Never found it hard to do so, I just sit at my desk trying to avoid all the morons around me and turn my head to the blackboard every now and then, I can pick up all of the important stuff most of the time.

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

I do pay attention. Just that the classes are three hours long, and after about two, your brain becomes little more than greyish coleslaw.

Right before the exam, follow the advice of the Dr. Parcelan:

I never had strong study habits. Whenever possible, I'd pay attention in class, and do only minimal studying. If paying attention was a problem (one semester I had one course starting at 8AM and another ending at 10PM), I'd study beforehand. But regardless, I always set aside an hour before the exam to relax; either lying on my bed in semi-meditation, or watching some completely mindless TV show. It helps with focus, so you don't panic or draw a blank during the exam.

Eat your professor's brains. You shall absorb his knowledge.

It's really simple. Try the exam. If you come to a question you don't know how to do, ask your teacher/professor if you can go to the bathroom. If you can't, think of another way out. If you can go to the bathroom, close the door, and RUN LIKE HELL. DON'T LOOK BACK. GO STRAIGHT FOR THE DOORS.

Only if you're extremely desperate for the bathroom.

Let's see you do that with a professor who puts you to sleep with just a few words, no matter how much COFFEE you drank earlier...

Yep. I had a Computer Science professor that was notorious for doing that...

I had a professor who was in his 70's. He taught one set of material in class, gave homeworks from the class text on a second set of material, and gave exams on a third set. Any two categories had a 15-25% overlap. Of the 150 enrolled students, 75 came to class, and of those only about 30 stayed awake. The semester I had him was the last semester the college let him teach. He had no research either (being as his info was several years out of date), but they couldn't fire him because of tenure (sp?). He also gave pop-exams. Not pop-quizzes, pop-exams.

I had THREE computer teachers like that.

One for Assembly language programing.
One for CoBOL language programing.
One for computer concepts and history, and programing logic.

They all three talked in monotone. Each class was a couple hours long. Each gave enough homework that just one class removed any real hope of having free time.

Did I ever mention that I didn't make it through college?
