Mine usually bad but during that exam I took time to write decently. However, at the 5 minute warning, I was on a really good point and I was struggling to finish so I threw neatness out the window and hurried it up. I got it done.

Yeah, for one of my midterms the other week, I had to write about 4-5 pages (typed). Fortunately I get extra time (1.5 times normal) and computer access, too.
I only used a little more than the regular amount of time, though, cause I was so tired from all my other exams that I quit early.
I figure the professor has _got_ to appreciate what I did for him, though. After grading 30 other handwritten exam papers he's going to be real happy when he gets my nice, double-spaced Times New Roman printout

It's interesting how a few of us have real problems with exams (meltdowns, etc) and many others hardly have a problem.
I'm one of the latter. The last round of exams for me were actually the best time of my school year. Normally echoey hall filled with sound-deadening bodies and everyone's silent. I really like exams 
I think my productivity is inversely proportional to the sound level in the space I'm working in.

My grades came in the mail yesterday. I got one A and three B's. I'm no straight A student but I'm proud. 
As for the exams, I passed all of them, all but one with flying colors. My English exam (the one where I had to write) was about average, but I'm not all that great with essays.

Just hope that I dated the right girl...
If I did no good in the Physics exam, I will have to date yet another girl.

I love having extended time, because although I usually don't use it all, it such a RELIEF that I don't have to fret the whole time about whether I'll finish it or not

I have to wait until the middle of July for my Marks

I have to wait until the middle of August, looks like we're both as bad

How the heck do you make it until AUGUST 
I was in a panic like state for most of the days before I got my marks last year. I though I was going to fail math and be kicked out of my writing program, which was the cause of my worries. Luckily I got a 78%, but I really freaked out before then
I have a feeling I'm going to feel the same way for Science...*swears a bunch*

Breathing helps. Also, if you're really worrying, take five minutes and just stop doing the exam. 5 minutes gone is made up by the better answers you'll get in the rest of the time allowed
Also, see if they'll let you bring in a stress toy of some sort. Squeeze it when you're freaking out (make sure it's durable - the dollar store ones die easily)

I had my last exam today, the trouble is over
22 May 2008, 1:39 pm
I've had 5 exams so far: French Speaking, Religious Studies, Maths (Non-calculator), English Literature, and Science (Unit 1).
Now that my second exam is not until June 2nd (although I have 7 exams that week - ), I have plenty of time to revise more.
