Finals, finals, finals. That's all we seem to discuss as our classes draw to a close. While everyone can agree that finals are abhorred across any campus, you'll notice that each test has a certain “type” it fits into. So, let's dive in.

1. The unreasonably difficult final.

You know the one. That 200-page cumulative exam that you only get half an hour to finish. That one will probably pop up at least once a year (if you're that lucky). This test tells you one of two things: your professor thinks they're an amazing teacher that taught your class well or, your professor is just itching to make your life a living hell. Either way, chances of passing are far less than ideal.

2. The final you have no excuse not to ace.

If you're lucky, you'll have more than one of these in a semester. It's the final that requires only the most basic understanding of the subject, takes under an hour to complete, and you're 95 percent sure the teacher won’t even read your answers before branding it with an “A."

3. The ghost final.

You know that each class must have a final. That's just how classes go. However, this professor has uttered no words about this mystery test. Asking your professor for any information usually results in a “don't worry about it” or a “we’ll discuss the final later." You may start to worry. You may not. Who knows? Maybe they'll forget about the final.

4. The final that would be easy if you actually paid attention in class.

If you're being honest, you’ll admit that this class wasn't wildly difficult. Had you spent class time paying attention to the lecture instead of rereading the Twilight series on your phone, you might be prepped for this exam. Alas, you’ve made this fatal mistake and now you're left to wallow in regret and useless notes. Once again, happy testing!
