QUOTE I write pretty slowly (I'm left handed), hagaaaa. I'm a left-hander too. mm Anyway, I don't think it's unfair. A test is a test and you can't expect a teacher to give you extra time just because you second guess yourself. |

I've been having timed tests and exams even since I was in school... so I think it's fair. You need to learn how to manage your time well during a test so that you can write everything you need to write.

It's hard. Taking tests in such limited times.. but what I do is just plan out the time. Let's say, if there's 60 questions and you have an hour to do it, i'll take about a minute a question.. If I don't know it, I guess; then if there's time, I come back to it.

i guess your teacher is more of a college type of teacher. ususally when they set and amount of time, that's how long you have. ive never really not finished a test, though and it is kinda unfair.

QUOTE(tweeak @ Sep 13 2005, 4:36 PM) I write pretty slowly (I'm left handed), so it happens to me fairly often (not finishing essays or notes) and you just have to deal with it and try to take as much extra time as you can muster. I was nearly late for band today because I wasn't quite done with my precal quiz. Eh. I don't know. It sucks, but that's the way it is.  Mmm...really? I'm a lefty and I write really fast. And I agree, just deal. Ask your teacher for test taking advice. Learn how to manage your time. It's a good life skill. |

Typically lefties write slower because you have to push your hand across the paper, as opposed to being able to pull it like most people

QUOTE(sadolakced acid @ Sep 13 2005, 9:54 PM) you seem like a left hander. i love left handers. i want to be a left hander. when i was younger i kept trying to write with my left hand because i wanted tobe left handed. of course, it didn't work out because it would take me 5 minutes to write THE (in all caps, which is easier than lowercase). yea... Ha ha! I did the same thing. Just..the teacher got mad at me. She made me like write with both hands..and then she made me start writing with my right. Stupid teachers...

i'm left-handed too and i write plenty fast. lectures are the best.
we get a time frame, and we work in that time frame. i actually think it's unfair that slow workers get more time than the fast workers. if you're a slow worker, you have to train yourself to work fast and well. |

Tell that lazy bastard (not in those words) to let you solve the problems on the board show him u understand the work try to explain to him you are just slow at doing the work.

It's not unfair at all. If you finish a quiz before most of your class, you're not exactly going to want extra time. |

but in the real world you can finish a project early or on time, but late is no good.
that being said i write like a left hander. using my right hand. yea. lit teacher complained couldn't read my writing. i made it legible. cost? two essays. finished one, just got the intro of the second. |

Tell your teacher that you are having trouble finishing your tests. She probably won't give you extra time, but maybe she can give you some tips on how to work a little faster. And don't let yourself second guess. Usually, your first answer is right.
