I need EVERYONE'S opinion plz
Ok, I'm stressed the hell out. I have 2 exams today, and had 1 yesterday. The one yesterday I spent all weekend studying for, and I think I did pretty damn well. The ones for today are Managerial Acct and Business Stats.
I went a little while ago and explained to my teacher how stressed I was over this shit. :-[ I feel like crying since I haven't been sleeping only studying for these tests. I asked if I could take the test at a later time. After some thought, he gave me 2 options:
1) Take it at 3pm today
2) Don't take it at all, and all my other exams (3 others) will be weighed more heavily.
Now, if I took the stats today at 3, then I would have no time to study for the Accounting tonights class. :'( Please, someone help me decide.
Re: I need EVERYONE'S opinion plz
Skipping a test, much less an exam is almost never a good idea. Start studying on and off for both tests ASAP and get off of here to do it.
Re: I need EVERYONE'S opinion plz
Have you done well on any previous tests in stats? Are you confident you can do well on future tests?
Re: I need EVERYONE'S opinion plz
Hmm I would go with the second option your prof gave you. At one point I was failing one class and after I spoke to the prof he gave me the same option and I ended getting a B for the class. I'm so sorry you are so stressed, it's hard but if you bust your ass for the rest you will be ok.
Re: I need EVERYONE'S opinion plz
How did you do on the other 3 exams that can be weighed more heavily?

Well I joined the class like a few days before the first exam. I didn't know anything but I got like a 63%. Had I been prepared, I kow I would've done better.
DJ: SW is my only moment of peace. It makes me happy. But yes, ok I am logging off right after this post. I promise :-[ I'm gonna take your advice and start studying for both of them right now. Hmmm I'll also have to complete my Calc homework in there by 2pm as well [le sigh]

Re: I need EVERYONE'S opinion plz
I think you should get off the computer and just study. Try not to stress too much about it. I always did my best by thinking of the exam kind of like a game. No stress. Just do it. You'll be fine as long as you dont overthink and stress.
Good luck!
Re: I need EVERYONE'S opinion plz
Even if you split the focus between the two tests, a lower average on both means so much more than a 0 for either. Every little bit counts, no shows don't.

Great advice..That's exactly what I was thinking as I read over the options..
CK..you better be studying chick ! Good luck on your exams !
Re: I need EVERYONE'S opinion plz
Do you have the chance to drop one of the tests? Most teachers do do that.
I said to take the test at 3pm. Taking it looks like you are really trying to the teacher. It could mean a C grade to a B grade in the end of the semester. Teachers do account for your efforts in the class eventhough you think you might end up with a bad grade. Besides, 2 B's are betting than one A.
Re: I need EVERYONE'S opinion plz
How are you doing in Accounting? Can you afford to get a lower grade on that test? Wil THAT prof let you postpone or drop the test?
Re: I need EVERYONE'S opinion plz
In Spanish class, I had to miss the first exam. The professor said she did not give makeup tests at all, but would count my midterm grade twice. So I studied my ass off for hat midterm and I got an A.
If you know you will have time to put a huge effort into studying for the remaining stat tests, I would skip it and study for accounting. If your stressiong out abotu splitting your focus, your going to end up doing badly on both exams, and you don't want that. So if having he other stat tests weigh more heavily removes stress from you now so your able to focus, I would do it that way...but only if yoru sure you won't get stressed or overwhelmed again later...because the rest of the exams are going to be weighed more heavily and you will need to work extra hard at doing well on them.
Re: I need EVERYONE'S opinion plz
I have no idea. I'm so horrible about prioritizing.
