Guest bararyu Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 [COLOR=Indigo][FONT=Arial]Hi there - I'm new here, so if this sounds a little odd, it's because I've not quite adjusted to the way things are done here...^^' Anyway, I've been having standardized testing this week and I'm going to have it all of next - is anyone else stressed about testing?[/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBZgirl88 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 [COLOR=#004a6f]Well, I don't have standardized tests because I'm in University, but I do have killer exams! Yes, I'm stressed to the max. As soon as one exam season finishes, you get a few days rest and have to start preparing fot the next exam season! I have my last midterm tommorow, and my finals are spread out in april.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Flasher Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 [FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=Sienna]Tests... see, I'm hypomanic (Esentially, the exact opposite of hyperactive, and a nice way of saying 'rediculously lazy'), which means I don't have any preformance anxiety, and don't get worried before tests. I don't get stressed out by tests or anything like that, which in the long run is definatly a bad thing, and usually don't do well on them. I don't hate them, though, because I can finish quickly and get some sleep. [/COLOR][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatanaViolet Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 oh goodness, are you a university student? I just had three midterms in three days in a row this week. How the heck do you prepare for that!? Not to mention I have a paper due in 10 days that I haven't started. And I'm not even taking the full course load of 5 courses, I'm only taking 4! Although kind of like Ziggy, I don't really get super stressed about the tests themselves. I had a stats midterm that I knew I was hopeless on, and I just went to class and finished the exam and then left. I can't wait till this semester is over, I'm not gonna lie to you.

Delta Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 [COLOR=#656446]^ I've about 5 major exams spread out (rather unevenly) through a period of four days. You know, we should really refrain from logging in to OB for the next three days or so. ^.^ I absolutely don't study for an exam if I wasn't able to 'til the day before. IOW, I don't cram. I need to "ferment" whatever I've picked up in books for a good two days before I get the hang of them. So probably that's why I don't get stressed out during exams. It's either 'cause a) I'm confident that I can pass them tests with my level of knowledge or; b) the less I know, the less stuff clutter my brain. (It's b, in most cases.)[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha not to mention I'm trying to do cleaning, have that term paper to do for the 27th, have another assignment for Japanese due on Tuesday. I wanted to go out of town for easter weekend to see my family, turns out my finals are right after the weekend. I just had a Stats exam, I wonder how I did... :animestun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japan Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 [COLOR=Indigo]I only have three classes, yet no finals. I am just lucky I guess. Well, I already did a final in my health class last week. Psychology, there is no final, and in History, the teacher will be in Amsterdam when our history final is suppose to take place. I am sure that spring quarter at my college, I won't be so fortunate.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leofski Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I have exams next week. Not too worried though, Multiple choice FTW!!! A decent mark in one of them will get me out of my final for that module as well, which would be very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disenchanted Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 [COLOR=RoyalBlue]I have 6 exams in One week, somtimes two a day, most will go for three hours, at the least 2 and a half hours, the exams are two and half weeks away and i can proudly say i know nothing, God im sooo beyond stressed ! :animestun The really stupid thing that my school does it not streach the exams out over a period of time, after our exam week no ones brains work because of the time period we had to get things done in. It especially doesnt help when some teaches give us projects that are due very close to exams. Our exams finish and then we get stuck with more projets to do over easter break. Ill stop wineing now and go study...0_o [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bararyu Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Actually, I'm only in 8th grade, but I know how you guys feel about the projects and tests - a few teachers of mine are trying to cram in in-class projects during testing, and it's overwhelming...Yes, I understand the whole studying thing and not being prepared...the worst part of this is that I can't even study for these tests because I have no idea exactly what's on them...well, let's hope we can focus enough to ace these tests, hmm? ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeebs Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I had to take the English II test last Tuesday. It was three hours long and there were about two ECRs (extended constructed response) and five BCRs (brief constructed response). The rest were multiple choice. There were also reading passages (some of them over two pages long) every few questions, which made it difficult because I don't read very quickly. Even worse, there's supposed to be another three hour test in May. Other than that, I don't have any standardized testing that I know of. I never stress out before tests. I usually remember what I learn in class, which is strange because I zone out a lot. :animeswea I rarely ever study for tests and get a good score most of the time.
