Usually the Big Ones or Nine Lives album.... and when taking the exam I ALWAYS use my light blue mechanical pencil from Japan. I have used it for every exam that I have taken at the U of I.... all 3.5 years and it has treated me well :0)
that's exactly what i was going to say...b/c at that point, that's all that's going to help meBGGA said:Pray.
Siggy said:Pray and no caffine the day of the test (maybe a little [like half a small cup] if the final (midterms too) are late in the day. I read too many of the caffine is bad threads that were popular earlier in the school year, so I tried it on my 2nd o-chem midterm (9:30 am). My score went up 20 points, the average went down 4 points. Hell yea.

Also, definitely comfortable clothes. I wore the same pair of grey corduroys to almost every final I took in undergrad. And Winnie the Pooh socks (I had multiple pairs of those).
Yep. I generally try to get a decent nights sleep the night before so I won't have to worry about staying awake.Psycho Doctor said:your score went up with no caffeine? or did i read that wrong? I need my caffeine b/c I never get enough sleep
UnskinnyBop said:I take every exam backwards, starting with the last question and working my way to the first. I've been doing it elementary school. I figure that even though professors might say they don't put the easy ones in the front and the hard ones at the back, they subconsciously do so anyway. I also can't skip any problems or I get all freaked out and afraid I'll forget to come back and do it. Backwards and linear, that's my style!
I don't shave my face...that way, I always have a natural goattee before my exam.Canez81 said:does anyone have any rituals or superstitions before a test or a final?? or on the way to the test? the walk to the test??
