Whoo! Finally, it’s a break from school. Most students (either college or high school) had to take a week-long journey of cramming for final exams. These tests are super hard and let’s be honest, nobody is good at every single class they take; but we have to find a way to pass these extremely difficult exams. And here is a list of 5 ways on how student really made it past finals:
1. We studied really hard
Even though we spend all this time in class, hardly any of it made sense. You’d find us in the library any hour that we aren’t sleeping or getting coffee.
2. The cheat sheet
If you get the cool professors/teachers, sometimes they give you a lee-way and you can create your own sheet to bring to class on exam day. We don't care if it’s a notecard or one piece of copy paper, we will write as small as I can to fit as much as we can one here....but while we spend all the time making this cheat sheet, we never use it during the exam because they just studied all of this content the last 12 hours. It probably saved us on 1 or 2 questions.
3. Someone took the test before us
Secrets don't make friends... help a brotha out.
4. Some of us flat out cheated
Although I can’t disclose who or when (because no one likes a snitch) but some students just flat out cheat. Half the classes students take doesn’t even relate to our major. Don't expect me to pass a class about music when I’m a business major. If we don’t have a nack for it, obviously we wont be good at it. I once heard about a person that would show up to her class 10 minutes early so she could write answers on her desk. Or another person would write answers in the tattoo of their arm. Since both the tattoo and pen were black ink, no one really knew one was temporary and one was permanent.
5. We didn’t make it past finals
I have never walked out on a final until this semester. 2 hours in. 60 questions to answer and I only answered (maybe) 20. The girl sitting next to me told me that this was the only final she showed up to and she took 5 classes. Some of these professors are super freaking hard. Just goes to show that you should work really hard during the semester so that it doesn’t matter how bad your final went, you’ll still pass.
Sure, some of us could have done better on our finals... but there’s always next semester, right?
