Question Exam season

So how is everyone doing with the exams this time around ?

I have my first one tomorrow afternoon, should be OK, Synthetic Chemistry is the name, and passing is the aim.

Good luck to everyone. :

Watch out. Last exams bring about things like, getting way to plastered for your own good and hooking up with a waterbuffalo

I'm lucky as only 1 of my 3 tests, I expect to be hard for me. I will ace Java and C++. The one I'm worried about is the theory behind system design (Requirements Analysis and System Planning Analysis).

I could almost go to sleep in these classes as they are of no interest to me. I just want to be a code monkey lol :P

My standards are low enough that I'll hook up with the waterbuffalo sans alcohol.

Assuming waterbuffalo is a metaphor for an unattractive lady and not an actual waterbuffalo...

I have 3 exams. One next Wednesday, one next Thursday, and then the following Monday. I can't wait till they're over. I'm sick of study, which is why I keep ending up on the forums

5 exams starting in 3 weeks over 2 weeks.
Chem 1B. 3 hours multiple choice, no negative marking, hard stuff.
Bio 1B. As above, I'm not sure if we have negative marking on this, if we do it's - 1/4 mark for each question wrong, also some harder stuff than last semester
Intro math 1B. 3 hours written, I failed Math 1A so took up intro... should be fine for it, way easssier
Forensics. 1 hour written exam, easy stuff.
Marine Science. 3 hours multiple choice, only a few questions negatively marked... this isn't even a real topic, was an elective I chose.. shoulda done something else.

So far my marks are looking good, lowest would be a CR, average would be a DN with quite a few HD's thrown in... if I can hold it together for the finals I should be looking at some better marks than last semester (CR all one bar 1 fail).

Good luck to everyone else sitting 3+ exams..... and if you're an arts student.. then yeah no further comment :P

Next year it gets fun

Molecular Biology
Experimental Data Analysis 1
Analytical Chemistry 2
Chemical Bonding and Structure
Organic Chemistry 2A
Organic Chemistry 2B
Advanced Analytical Chemistry 2
Forensic and Analytical Applications of Microscopes
Professional Skills for Forensic Chemists
Statistics for Forensic Science
and 6 units selected from the following:
Thermodynamics
Quantum Phenomena
Electrochemistry and Kinetics

: And Remember kids... P's get degrees. : lol

Ahh... exam season. I remember those quite well. I used to have a ritual whereby I wear the exact same thing for every exam. I havent had the pleasure of doing an exam for a few years now. Although my last exam was an oral board in July.

Good luck to everyone! Hope you ace them all.

I've started a ritual too. When I start focussing on exams, I stop shaving, and by the time the exams are finished I have a beard!

LOL, I'm definately not the only one then. I don't usually shave all that often. I've usually got some form of facial hair, but it's been about 3 weeks now since my last shave. My hair's starting to look pretty wild too. I've got the real country bogan look happening at the moment!

I don't study at all. I've never taken notes in class aswell. All that time is free for me to do what I want. I have no idea how I do it, but I have got excellent grades my whole life.

Wait till you hit the real world... you can't just sit at your desk/go out in the field and get to the end of the day and think all the work will be complete on its own accord.
