Anybody have any weird rituals? Me, I like to wear a certain article of clothing to every test I take. I made it myself. I have NEVER gotten below a "C" on any test ever since I began wearing it.

It sure pisses off my Therapeutics teacher.

Herein lies my dilemma. It's hot outside. Like 75. (People in Texas/Cali/Florida are laughing right now) I'm afraid not to wear it because it shields me from getting Ds, but if I wear it, I'm going to dehydrate myself to the point where my tounge turns white. What, oh what, should I do?

Make a short sleeve version of it.

This is a fabulous option! Of course, you could just get it tatooed somewhere - that way you'd always be protected! (And wouldn't it be a great conversation starter years from now?)

:laugh: Great sweatshirt! I have some crazy superstitions when it comes to test taking but I don't think I could make myself where a sweatshirt in hot weather. I'd probably pass out during the test.

How'd you make it? Is it iron on letters? I would just start a new superstition that involves a tshirt with the same design that way you have all-weather options. LOL

So, do any of you guys sit in the same seat everytime you take a test?

Oh, uh, I lied, by "made" I mean I designed it. I ordered it to be made by a shop up in Greensburg, PA. THEY physically made it.

Once in undergrad I was falsely accused of cheating because I had a winter jacket on during the test. Ever since then, I've sat in the front row, middle seat for my own protection, sans coat.

When asked how I think I did on an exam, I will never say, "I think I did well." I won't say it even if I feel it. Every time I do, I get a nasty shock when the exams come back.

Superstitions are silly.

I always have to wear my Harvard Medical School shirt to every exam. Also, I have to sit in the middle seat of the third row....they work like a charm.
 
Our room has three sections. I have to sit in the left hand section, end seat on the right of the 3rd row. I sit on the end because I am a fast test taker and am usually done early and then I don't have to keep saying "excuse me" to get out.
