Actually, I prefer college. High school was just boring. At least now I've chosen the courses I'm following, it's not just random bullshit.

Eat ass. I had to do it last year. And this year, only two of my teachers gave finals. Well, 3, but one was a project that we had 2 months to do. I chose to do it 4 days before, and got a 90% on it.

Good luck. Don't fail.

I'm in the middle of my first year exams for chemistry (I know, I know) at uni.

Its really fucking hot. Its a bastard. Plus I have to wear a fucking penguin suit for my exams. Fuckers.

You're actually laughing at people who goes to school? WHAT A MORON!!

Next time you get pass on the highway by some guy with a 350z or a Porshe, keep in mind that he probably went to school longer than you. Try to laugh at him.


As for the rest of you guys, I sympathize. Luckely for me, I finished more than a month ago.

Chill out man, A-levels (i'm assuming thats what your doing) don't really mean shit, you can get into uni (if you want to) even if you do badly. I always find the idea of taking exams annoying, but once you get into them they're ok.
It's better if they let you leave early if you finish early, they didn't when I did A-levels, but i can now (although I rarely do). which is nice.

yeah, we have three hours to take our regents and two hours minimum staying time. im a fast worker and am usually done within an hour, and the teachers always give me a hard time for it (but i always do fine)

bring a book if you can.

At least you don't have the suit - bowtie - gown combo going on!
90, whats that in real temperature? (I mean celcius, i have no concept of farenheit). i have a freind here from Brooklyn, she says its cooler here.

oh god, gotta love the ass backwards US measurement system

lets see, ill get a converter

whats it there?

It was 28 today - so you were quite a bit hotter

The thing to remember with exams is that they are all testing the same thing until you get to university. What I mean by this is that all your exams preceding university will test you only on what you've learnt, ie, if you've got a great memory you'll fly through them without too much bother.

However, it all changes when you get to uni. At uni the exams are testing how you can use and adapt what you've learnt, ie, it's no good just having a good memory for facts as you also need to fully understand what you've been taught.

It's only a slight difference but people often don't appreciate it - you'll know someone who doesn't understand the difference between the two styles of examination because they say something like, "I never saw a question like that during the lectures" after the exam. I know this, because I said it too, but once I finally figured this subtle difference out I flew threw my final year exams as I knew best how to apply my learning.

So there you go - there's my experience, take from it what you will.

I graduated high school in 97', took summer school for 3 years as to take advanced classes that were geared for collage during the normal year, but never took typing so that my GPA wasn't fucked ( I can't spell ), got suspended like 35 times for smoking and other demostrations for the right of true freedom, was not allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony due to the fact it was thought I would pull some crazy stunt, the police stoped me from entering the ceremony as a spectator, still graduated with honors and extra credits, teachers loved me but the admin hated me, worked and payed my own way through 3 years of collage, but exams were a joke as long as I learned about the subjuct, I partied and had fun, girlfriend moved in a year prior, fun stoped, she got pissed and drunk and nearly shoot me with my own gun, got rid of that bitch and the gun, but not before she maxed out 2 of my credit cards, $5000+/-, I became broke, sold my beloved custom Jackson KV-1 and gear, couldn't pay to continue collage, life had no meaning, got burned burned out, worked just to live a meaningless life, said fuck it, lost my mind, became a homeless traveler, US Navy found me, couldn't believe my story, I took their test, they fucking fliped out, offered me a job in the Navy nuclear program, I took it, I took more exams, the hardest exams in my whole life, just ask Wally, he has been through it, life sucked a little more, then got much better, found a great girl, got married, had a child, got more guitars and gear, joined Metaltabs, and I'm currently getting fucked by US Customs office...

I'm done.

Wow, 8th grade exams... br00tal! You were 3 y.o. when I started high school... I'm not dissing you... I just feel old; like a grandfather of metal music. Ha.. I still don't have shit on Ozzy. I hope I have as much spunk as he does live when I'm nearly 60 y.o.

You must have scored fucking HIGH on your ASVABs to be in the nuclear program. What field?

I only got an 89 on the asvab, plus I was very hung over that day and the navy loved it, but that isn't the hardest part because anything over a 60 will qualify you to take the advance placement test, and access to the nuke program. That thing isn't that hard either as long as you're proficient with science and math. The real hell didn't begin until 3 mounths later after boot camp. I don't know how I made it, but I was determined they would have to kill me to get rid of me... I didn't have anything better going for me.

I got a take home exam due thursday, but the teacher is making the sign the bottom promising that i won't cheat. Problem is, the exam is about special relativity gayness, wordlines and jazz. I don't know that stuff man. I copied the homework from the asian kid who copied from the hindu kid.
The teacher won't accept it unless we sign it, so how am i gonna cheat now!

WATCH IT, BUDDY !!!!! I'm only 14 1/2 years away from that!! You guys were ALL nonexistent when I was in 8th grade.

Hey, there's a couple metalhead nukes in my living room right now. I asked them what they got on their ASVAB's . Walpurgis had a 93 and his roomie had a 99. His friend got special recognition for doing so well in school, too. BUT THEY ARE BOTH CRAZY AS HELL !!! Wally's talking about buying a chopper off ebay instead of getting a truck to fly back to prototype.

heh heh but he's doing his yeti thing while he's home. The phone has been ringing off the hook since we got home and the living room is filling up, too. My little baby boy.

Hey, Dissection !! You go for it !! Walpurgis likes it so much where he is now that he's talking about being an instructor up there eventually.

heehee After the ceremony he introduced me and Dad to some of his friends and so many of them responded "I'm so sorry !" when he said "this is my mom and dad." It was funny !!

Here's to the Navy !!! You guys are cool !!

Had a rock solid exam today (Physical Chemistry), hopefully I passed - thats all I need to stay in next year.

I took a module called Mechanics and Special relativity in my second year and then Relativity in my final year. Special relativity is like doing basic arithmetic when compared to the techniques involved in General Relativity. Man, that stuff's hard!

I know it's easier said than done, but if you remember all the different formulae in Special Relativity and can recognise the situations where each one is used you should be fine.

Soulinsane--The landlord even made that comment that the ones who don't live in the city area have a better chance of not getting in trouble than the ones that frequent the more populated areas. Bob's been very disapplined so far so I hope he keeps that up.

SC wasn't bad. It never got unbareably hot (like it is here now) and I never saw 1 mosquito. The only thing I did see that resembled one was around Buffalo, NY and it was a jet that was sideways doing a banked turn. Cool as shit. Denny said it may have been a harrier or F-14. I didn't notice any signs for bases around there but the Lockheed company wasn't too far away. The graduation ceremony in SC was outside and it was overcast so that was super nice.

Man, Bob division was at attention for inspection before it started. An officer Bob never met walked around with his Chief talking to each sailor. He stopped and talked to Bob a minute and noticed Bob's eyes diverting upward and he got a puzzled look on his face.
Bob-- Sir, there's a bug on your hat, Sir.
Officer--(Turns to Chief) Chief, is there a bug on my hat?
Chief--Yes, sir , there is a bug on your hat.
Officer--Please, remove the bug from my hat.
Chief--Yes, sir. (Takes bug off and looks at Bob with outstretched hand.)
Chief--Petty Officer Heil
Bob--Yes, sir?
Chief-- Take the bug from my hand.
Bob --Yes, sir. (Takes bug and crushes it in his hand and tosses it to the ground. )
Bob-- Sir, Bug is dead and disposed of , sir.
Officer-- (Grins and turns to Chief) I'm glad someone is looking out for me.

The guys around them were about to die trying to stay rigid. I guess the Chief didn't look too happy , but the O thought it was amusing.

Oh, hell, I repeated myself in the same thread so I'll just change this to --I suppose the classes I've had to take for work are more psychology training for mediation of youth. You guys make great ones to study !! heehee ....

__________________

Hahaha, good story of the use of the chian of command, L"BXXX. I remember going through that final inspection. I'm glad the bugs were not bad when you were there. For me, there was nothing worse than standing at attention and waiting for the bugs to just have their way with me. I could move, but that would look like I have no self control. Besides, I don't have to stand at attention to often now days.

Good luck to everyone here on any exam you have to take... ever. I'm sure that helped you, right?
