waste of time tests Options

don't you hate going to take tests that you already know before hand you're going to fail?


i do. i don't think there is any possible way i could pass my italian test in an hour. part of me wants to not even go, except i guess i'd rather have 40/100 than 0/100.


my problem is that when it got to sunday afternoon and i realized how little i knew, i just gave up mostly and said f**k it rather than studying all yesterday evening. i don't know what my problem is, i think i have poor study habits because most of my life i've never needed to study very much to get decent grades. so now when i take classes that need more effort i can't seem to get myself to do it.

are you guys "f**k it" people or are you stay up late and study people?


i developed this theory to make myself feel better about my tendency to "just wing it" rather than put in more study time. i figured that by just winging it, the tests would more accurately gauge my knowledge on the subject. so i'd know what i REALLY knew from the class. i basically turned it around to make it like studying was cheating at the last minute and preventing me from knowing what grade i really deserved based off what information i'd truly retained.

yeah if this was a huge test like a final or something that decided my grade, then i can usually find the will power to throw more study time in. if it's just a quiz or a regular test though, i sometimes feel like i'd rather make a bad grade than even use my free time to prepare.
