>My face when I found out that 3 exams make up 95% of the grade of my calc class.

Oh fuuuuuuuck. I always get nervous on tests, even if I know the material. I always make dumb mistakes. What do I do?

How much does the class cost?

If you fail, retake the course perhaps?

If anything, having a majority of the grade based on three tests should mean retaking the course is pretty easy.

Talk to your professor, he/she will certainly help you.

Practice, practice, practice. Make/take practice exams under self-imposed time restrictions in one of your lecture halls if you have to. Gotta trick that ol' psyche.

I'd hate to go to an American university where this wasn't the norm.

The idea of every piece of work you submit being worth half a percent of your final graduating grade sounds awful. Exams are much better.

a big mistake beta students make is thinking that giving the right answer is the only thing that matters...


Just start your answer with writing down all formula`s requere`d to sovle the question... teacher should give some points for that.

Also write down your calculations step by step to show at least your intensions were somewhat right. Teacher can give points for this...

My material strengths and statics course has 12 problems that make up 60% of our grade :[

How much time do you get for exams? I know it depends on the school but there should be a general answer. I hate when I ran out of time in high school.

I go to a state uni, and we generally get about 90 or so minutes for larger exams. some prof's just do in class exams, which give you about 50 min or so

if you're having trouble finishing tests in hs, i'd suggest learning how to work more quickly!

If you think that's bad, my organic chemistry course grade consisted of nothing but 3 exam grades (Mid-terms were 25% each, while the Final was 50% of the final grade).

All it takes is to study hard and practice. Also, talk to your professor about this, see if he/she can help you.

If this is a high school course, then talk to your teacher.

Ha

Here in Spain's technical universities,100% (ok, some times 90%) of the grade is decided by one only final test.

Sadly, we have good engineers, but no industry at all.

Dunno, cant help you, I was always good at test and horrible at homework and assignments. If i learned my calc grade was 95% from three exams, i would be all like FUCK YEAH! \o/
