How does that even happen?
Aren't the points awarded for all questions supposed to add up to 100?
I mean it's not exactly rocket science...

The marking scheme was really fucked up. It was multiple choice, with each question having choices a through e. The hard part was that there could be more than one correct choice. The way the marks were allocated was that if you picked an answer that was right, you got one point. But if you didn't get one that was right, you lost a point. And then to prevent guessing the teacher made it so that if you picked a wrong option you lost 2 points.

So say a question had choices a and c being right. If someone chose a and d, then they get one mark for a, lose one mark for not getting c, and then lose another two points for choosing d, for a total of negative two for that question.

It was literally the stupidest exam I've ever written.

How the heck does American grading works? In Sweden, anything below 50% on an exam (which 7/15 is) is an F.

I believe it means he needs a 7/15 in that exam for a B+ as a total mark for the class. It all depends on how much the exam is worth.

Good luck everyone for the next week! I'm done but only get a couple weeks off before school starts again :/

Finished Org Chem yesterday. It was a two-semester cumulative, standardized exam, and I didn't know what the fuck I was doing. But I'm pretty sure neither did anyone else.

My math final is in less than twelve hours. I'm probably going to fail it and have to retake the course. I fucked around way too much this semester.

What's it on? Need any last minute help?

It's the basic college algebra class. There's a bunch of stuff like Gaussian elimination, graphing ellipses and such, but I should probably sleep if I want any chance of getting a decent grade out of it.

A&P in two hours, then I get a gap 'til a Statistics final on Saturday.

Can't wait 'til it's over. Celebrating by running a Warrior Dash.

Had a 4.0 last semester and managed to pull it off again this semester, feeling amazing.

As for this semesters finals, they were REALLY tough. Averaged 3 hours of sleep for a few days. BUT I pulled off 94%+ for all of them. Hell yes.

Now time to hibernate.

Finished my Finals last week, got my last grade back this week. Overall, I like how I did. Two of my midterm grades stayed the same, one rose, and another dropped.

I don't like the fact that my total GPA dropped (3.67 to 3.51 I think), but I'm happy that I did well - especially considering the fact that I thought I'd floundered a bit during the beginning.

EDIT: It's a 3.57 now, better than I'd remembered.

Finished my last final today. My GPA is going to take a hit, but I don't care. I'm just glad I'm done with school at the moment.

That's exactly how i feel right now. I need to relinquish my sleep, diet etc.

Got a 69 on my last engineering final, just shy of what I needed to get a B in the class. Talked to the professor and he bumped me up a little so I got a B entered in the grade book. Finally done with CC, now onto the real deal.

Exactly how I feel. Finally about to get my degree, and start working...

 

[PaperFlame]

I have to do:
Three Essays
one 6-7 pg Research Paper
make an ABC book with 26 pages
Another art project where I have to design a certificate
I also have to typed out a pro/con essay and present it in my speech class
and finally I have to study for my geography and anthropology/linguistic test


I have to do all of these in 2 weeks! yayyy...

 

[ConradCervantes]

I passed my algebra class. Probably bombed the exam, but I barely scraped by with a C. It doesn't make me feel any better, though. I hate scraping by, I want to succeed. I wish I applied myself better this semester. I stopped giving a shit after spring break.

All the more reason to get drunk tonight, I guess.

Whew, did all the required materials and got an A on my trig final!

This semester turned out better than I thought. I got Bs in English and Sociology, an A in Psychology, and I'm looking to get a C in Trig.

Now, off to start on Calculus! I won't get behind like this again.
