So I had a math test this week. Not my finest hour, to say the least. I studied very hard on all of the past exams figuring that they are all similar so why would they mix it up all of a sudden, well guess what. They mixed it up. My test form was, at least seemed, very different than the past exam problems that I had mastered. So I was sitting there with about five or six problems that I had not touched before, which was very unsettling. All I can do now is hope that I worked through them correctly. I discussed the test with some people afterwards and they seemed to have the same problem as well. That leads me to hope for a curve. I am disappointed that I was unprepared, even though I spent the time studying. Hopefully, that will have changed by the time Monday’s chemistry test rolls around.
Yea, I think that's most true with Calc tests - the practice tests are WAY different than the actual tests they give you, and especially if you were going off the '10 exam - my friend was in that class, & he said that like 15% of the students got 100%, so if we were studying off that exam, this one was definitely going to be harder. But, Chem seems to be pretty predictable, so we should be good to go for monday - though I can't get into connect to do the 'learnsmart' things.....we'll hope that comes back up soon!

I've noticed that about the last two calc tests too. I had the feeling of sitting in a chair and looking at a problem in a state of confusion. I just study all the past exams and hope that the exam will have the same type of questions. Lets hope the third exam and the final aren't too hard!
