BOMBING A TEST

Is the worst fucking thing. especially when you know you are going to. I just dropped from an A+ to a B in quantum mechanics. FML. Thanks to my university for scheduling 4 heavy exams in the first 4 days of exam period.

just venting haha. anyone else hate this? All of that work down the drain because school couldn't give me even a week to prepare for those 4 tests.
 
Historically Id never study for tests. Id do the classwork and dI fail hard... just plain don't do overnight assignments.. But when test time rolls around, Id slay it. My teachers always thought I was messing with them. Maybe its that ADD at work?
 
I used to do this as well, and I got straight A's. Skipping almost all the classes, not doing most assignments. Now I go to all the lectures, do almost all the assignments and I struggle for B's haha. If I was an employer I would hire the shit out of any physics student. An A+ physics student could probably learn an entire geology degree in one year haha. (saying this as a former geology student).
 
That is some baby back bullshit. You either went to a preschool that taught geo or you never applied yourself. Geo and physics are both hard in their own respects, depending on your emphasis. I would say physics definitely takes more mental capacity but learning geo in a year is a flat out lie.
 
Its the shittiest when you think you did really good, studied, stayed after school for extra help, and still fail. I have done that so many fucking times that i gave up on it. It's like when i take a test everything i know goes out the window.
 
pulled this shit in chemistry. failed basically everything, got a 42/100 on the final and ended the year with an 85%, had straight b's and c's the whole time in that class too didnt just go from an A+ to an 85
 
yeah I was exaggerating haha. But I'm not exaggerating when I say that I spend at least 4x the hours studying for physics than I did geology. Doesn't mean I could take on 4x the courses in geology and still pass them haha.

Undergraduate degree in geology is easier than an undergraduate degree in physics. It's just a fact. How many physics students can party their way through their degree? Almost none.
 
Haha not me. I'm a Geoscience Major with atmospheric minor and fuck I hate physics. Physics 1 was a breeze, I could at least not attend class and just read the book and still get good grades on the tests, but when Physics 2 and electro magnetics came round I guess I could say I spent too much time having fun and not studying. Still passed the class but with nothing to be proud of.

I envy you physics majors minds.
 
atmospheric minor would make it a lot harder since i'm assuming you will need advanced calc and fluid dynamics classes? Also I do not have a physics major mind haha. I just really like learning about this stuff now that it's not about billiard balls and towing boxes up inclined planes. But I know what you mean, there are some people in my classes who are just brilliant.
 
(accidently hit reply when I wasn't finished)......I can still maintain an average B. I did pretty poorly in my Calculus class last year but got a C because I did everything else I could to help my string of D's on tests. Not that I'm a bad student, because Calculus is advanced for us, and I still had a 4.1 for the year (can get like a 4.5 with A+ is all AP classes), I just struggled with math.
