My exams ended on the 27th of last month, and I've been pretty much free since then. This is a rare occurance, as I had taken a gap year to prepare for IIT (didn't make it, got through the extended list). As such, I had been studying my ass off for the last year or so, and the concept of free...

Anyone familiar with the term 'living in the library'? Because right now I feel like it. It absolutely, completely and utterly sucks. My whole social life is worst than a snails, and even lots of time in revision I can't seem to get through my damn questions in O-chem nor on lindemann...

I'm serious, I think I'm a "dumb" person. You see, I am genuinely interested in math and I plan ahead when I study for the exams. I do problem after problem. I should at least pass the damn exam. I see the problem on the test and I kinda know how to prove it but I then bs some crap. I can't...

there are some exams (if not most of them) in maths that asks you to reproduce a theorem youv'e proved in class. my question is: do you memorise the way of the proof, and try to write on paper by memory or you try to prove it again without looking at the notes ot textbook? (i mean when you are...

Exams week starts for me tommorow, anyone else? I wanted to say good luck to all that are going to be taking them and say thanks to everyone who has helped me with the questions I have had during this past semester.

I love mechanical pencils and they're all I use, but for some classes that grade exams by scantron machine, we are required to bring a "number 2" pencil. If I have a mechanical pencil with an HB #2 lead, does it really make any difference? I assume the scantron just differentiates light and dark.

It seems I suffer from this a good bit. I can recite my entire textbook and even teach the entire book, but during test, I just can't remember anything.
