Blargh! All this week at school I have exams every day, for 2 1/2 hours each day. They could at least split it out into several different weeks so we won't be overloaded with reviewing shit. Crying or Very sad The worst part is that I have to pass every single one to be able to graduate, which is bullshit I think. Fuck exams!

It amazes me that people whinge about their exams.

Don't you realise that it's the culmination of your past years work.

Think of it as a load of work ending and you can start the next phase of your lives.

I might think of it that way if these particular exams weren't made by the state. They're to test what the state thinks we should know, so we've not necessarily even talked about some of the topics in class yet. Sad

a. i would pass
b. i would need the stuff i see now in my future life, cause i think thats why many people dont like school. you see all this stuff, you forget it after your examns and you go find work with your degree but you dont know anything anymore of what you have done

Well duh, whats the point of an exam?

school is not a playground, they will not let you graduate if you are dumb or lazy and only pass(which isnt that hard after all) some of your exams.

you really think that it is about the stuff you learn?

1.) it is all about the way of thinking. If you never have biology, you dont understand anything biological. But if you studies biological stuff, you will always remember the basics etc.

2.) The most important thing is that you become independent and learn how to work on your own, take responsibility and do some time management. If you have a graduate degree, the employer knows that you can learn stuff and that you are smart. But idd, he doesnt really care what you exactly studied. Because companies' stuff is secret, and you cannot learn the details etc in a school, which is public.

3.) You always have to learn stuff you like and stuff you dont like. When you work, you always have stuff you like and stuff you dont like. If you never learned to do stuff you dont like, you will fuck up your work as well, because you cannot like everything.

yes SAT tests are BS, its odd that people who have completed 1 year of college during highschool still have to take them. If they are ment to test how your first year of college will go then why wont they wave it if youve already gone past the first year?
