So... I have a final in 1 hour for one of my classes. I need a 95 for an A in the course, a 91 for an A-, a 87 for a B+, or I can just not take it and wind up with a B.
Previous exam scores:
Exam 1 : 74%
Exam 2: 83%
I don't know the material, and would have (a little less than) an hour to study for it. Should I study? Skip it and get breakfast instead? Take it, throw answers on the scantron, and see what it comes up with?
... Sleep? tbh I'm lucky enough to have a B in the class as it is.
Update: Well I didn't take the final, choosing instead to study for my linear algebra final. Ironically, I misread the time for that final and wasn't allowed to take it. 94% --> 74% (final is worth 20%). Pretty big punch in the gut.. rather devastated at the moment. Was raging (at myself) earlier but I've sort of moved past that into numb acceptance. Even farther from that initial 4.0 goal now, guess I should have taken the final in the OP and tried to get an A. Funny how these things work out...
Also, trust me, the grading (for missing the final in the OP and getting a B) works out. Embarrassed to explain cause its such a ridiculous curve system.
