Today i had an Algerbra test, i was well prepeared and was secure. But when i entered the classroom the teacher told ME, PERSONALY..with a very serious voice: "....i hope you studied..." then walked away...i was like :x omfg, thx

The last cople of days i have been worreing about my grades, i asked some students who had to retake some classes and they say "You might think that you dont give a shit..but when you have to walk into the same booring class again...you will regret it DEEEEEP"


With this in my mind, i sat down, started the test. The very first questions was easy, no problem...but after a while, i could feel this feeling in my stumech...it got all warm and i feelt like throwing up. Then i lost consentration, i couldnt do problems that i normaly could...my brain just totaly wiped out my memory. I tried and tried but couldnt do any more problems. I looked at the time...got a bit stressed, looked around, everyone was doing fine. It was getting warmer...even warmer...soon i was swetting and breathing like a beast! My brain started to...tickle, i had flash backs of the times ive studied for this test...all for nothing! I tryed to do some equations but it just didnt work...skipped some questions...some more....some more...soon ive skipped half the test. Looked at the time...shit, almost over...stress stress...people starting to turn in their test...paper scraping....penciles tuching the papers sounds like nails scratching on the board...my ears made every sound to sound very loud....more swetting...stress...stress....thinking that im going to fail...after all my studying...im fail...fail fail...starting to see Fs all around me...saw myself getting the progress report with a big F insfront of me.

Somehow....i got most of the test done...turned it in when the bell rang...walked out and was almost ready to have a black out.


I have NO IDEA what happend today...it had never happend before. Has this happend to you?
 
Only once, and that was today. We did a synoptic paper for Chemistry and questions were so hard, I couldn't absorb anything. Outlook not looking good.
 
It's happened to be a few times but I'm a really good test taker. I'm the guy that fails to complete the homework but aces the tests. :(
 
I remember once I was doing a thing where a bunch of people recite the same play and a judge picks the winner. I remember saying the first line and then I blanked out. When I reasied what was going on again everyone was clapping (as they do for everyone) and I walked off stage. I came second :D
 
Maybe you should get your buddy Tom to help you
 
Well I have never experienced that before but sure hope I don't when I take my important exams in may/june
 
I had a midterm psych exam two weeks ago. Teacher handed out the tests at 11:05, and I was walking from the building at 11:15. I got a 94.

I love psych class.
 
I wish I was still in Algebra, that was such easy math...

Don't feel too bad though, I just got a 50 on my last test. I've got no idea how I have a B average this year. High School Calc ftl. :(
 
Hey I just turned in a calc test with most of the last page with doodles on it so relax.
 
i'm stuck on the sinusoid-type-wave-thing. it's easier than i think but i didn't really grasp it the first time. i used to pwn in math :(

speaking about math, last big exam i had to do some other assignment so i ended up studying around 2 hours before the actual math test. after the test i realized i'd cut myself a few small cuts with a pencil. then i realized i'd changed classrooms, that everybody was looking at me, and i was so distracted while driving.
 
with math I do a lot of my learning during the test, trying to derive equations that everyone else has already learned or coming up with different solutions. Once you understand the basic concepts of calculus and especially integration really solidly though it becomes really easy. And then you start getting differential equations and it gets hard again.

I'm like that... except I fail my tests, too.
 
Yeah, I get nervous a lot for tests too, its very annoying afterwards when you realise all the way to do the questions that you couldnt remember during the test...

I never got nervous in academic tests, but the nerves help some people through, it gives them that extra bit of adrenaline when it all starts.
 
I never got nervous about tests until University, where I realised that you need to study for tests. It kicked me into studying too hard!
 
I used to own tests with my eyes closed. 60% of the time, I aced them everytime.
