*POLL*Finals, Do you study for them?

[Philippine Mango]

Yup, Just wondering if we got some ppl who don't study for finals and have sucky grades, people who do study and have sucky grades and people who don't study and have good grades. Wierd poll I know but at least work with it...

Edit: now with 33% more poll!

 

[Aimster]

no not really. I study the day before.

 

[Trogdor91]

Might study in the minutes before the test, always pass, usually even do good.

 

[hdeck]

sometimes is my acceptable answer for all three

 

[Lonyo]

Minimal study, usually the day before.
I have an exam on Friday with a fair bit to learn (mostly names of studies - Psychology_, and I haven't really put any effort into it, except in lesson times.

 

[Corporate Thug]

yes and yes

 

[nageov3t]

I never studied in college. I found it a lot more helpful to learn the material at the time the professor was teaching it, rather than writing notes.

 

[amol]

im a worrywart, so i study AS MUCH as i can . . .

finals next week (wed-fri)

hardcore studying starts THURSDAY

H.S. finals = teh suxorz

edit: i do take notes and pay attention, so studying is more like reviewing . . .

 

[IAteYourMother]

Studying is for losers... =P

 

[jagec]

Your polls suck!

But, I study very briefly the night before, and do well the day of the test.

 

[Philippine Mango]

Nuttin wrong with the poll really....

 

[Riceball]

I hardly ever study for finals since it just a composite of tests given during the semester. I do study for those tests and usually do well.

 

[Goosemaster]

wow..those resutls are groundbrakingly predicatable.

 

[imported_Zeke]

I don't know how to study. That means you have to open your text book right? That shrink warp is just soo damn trickey.......

 

[ucdbiendog]

i study a minimal amount. i will get better grades than most, and that is all that matters in a curved system.

Well, I'm out of school now. Degree in EE from Clarkson Uiversity. Not the hardest program, but not a caskwalk either.

In short. If you don't knwo the materials a day before the test, you are already screwed. Do all the homework ON YOUR OWN. When I did this (not always), all I usually did the night before a test was skim everything over to make sure iknow it all. Clean up any loose ends and not worry abouth te test. just go to it and do well on it.

Oh, and your poll sucks because it doesn't let me put in the opinion I have on studying which I'm sure ALOT of people agree with.

 

[EngenZerO]

when it comes for midterms/finals...

i only spend 2 hours before the test going over the material. i end up doing pretty well in the class...

if i try to study the entire day... 6 hours are wasted watching tv and the other 2 are spend studying.
