I got an A on my Property 2 exam. This was seriously the one class I was worried about. I walked out of the exam an hour early. I figured the exam was really easy or I missed something big and bombed the exam. Thankfully it was just easy.

an hour early? holy shit, i refuse to even go to the bathroom during a 4 hour exam.

Yeah I was like wtf when I finished with like an hour left. I looked over everything agains and couldn't find anything I had missed. He said he made the exams a lot easier now, but I was like damn.

I lose touch with my bodily senses and functions during the exam. Not only have I never used the bathroom during an exam, but I've never felt like I have to. I'm sure I actually did have to go at times, but I just cease to feel it. Same goes for the time I took an exam with a stomach virus. The adrenaline took over and I didn't feel anything anymore. The second exams end, everything rushes back to me and I gotta run to take a piss, eat a huge meal, etc. But during that 3 or 4 hour window? I might as well just be a brain that is wired to my computer with my body back at home.

Do not want.

I actually took a smoke break during one final. It felt good to mentally refresh halfway through. I get fidgety sitting in one place for so long.

[solotee]

I'm still feeling the effects of being raped in Con Law, beat up in Crim Law, bad luck in K's and incompetency in Writing. I am not looking forward to my grades, nor do I want to think about them.

For now, ignorance is bliss.

Congrats to all who owned so far!

A guy I know takes multiple. I use smokeless during the actual exams.

I don't smoke, but I routinely get up and walk outside during exams. Getting out of that confined space even for just five minutes is well worth the time lost typing.

I get up approximately 57 times per exam and I always finish the exam early. I blame caffeine and a generally fidgety nature.

I have NO IDEA how people sit there zoned in for three plus hours and don't move. I usually sit in the back on the end so I don't distract the whole world fidgeting and getting up a lot. (I'm basically a 5-year-old in a 22-year-old body.)

At first I was all DO NOT WANT about grades. Now that I have one I've checked my transcript 16 times in about two hours. I HAVE A PROBLEM

TTH, J. concurring. I usually get up to go to the bathroom at least once or twice per exam. I don't necessarily have to, but I get too fidgety just sitting there and I find the brief walk and back helps me clear my mind and refocus.

[as stars burn]

Sigh of relief over here. I did better on my Ks exam than expected. I didn't blow it out of the water by any means, but I'm above median, and as my first grade, I'm more than fine with that. Phew.

i've sometimes thought about putting a fat dipper in before an exam, but I do it so rarely I'm afraid it would fuck me up.

Sounds to me like a good reason to become a regular dipper.

I don't move during exams. I always bring in a redbull and a vitamin water but whatever I didn't drink before the exam will be left after.

I usually end up taking a couple of bites of food and a few sips of my caffeinated beverage of choice, but other than my first exam (where I had to get up to pee twice), I have never left the room.

same here, then after I finish I realize I'm about to faint from severe thirst and hunger and probably have had to pee for 2 hours

Last semester I basically sprinted to and from the testroom when I had to piss, but this time around I tried to use it to clear my head and chill a little. Coming back in with a clear mind hopefully helps this time around.

I just checked my grades, and con law is in

This is literally the class where 10 days before the exam, I didn't know wtf I was doing, and realized I approached the class completely wrong.

During the exam, we got two questions... 50% each, four hours total.

did not know wtf I was typing during the exam, and got an A-

Oi, I've given up hope on figuring this law school game out.. but am happy with the grade.

totally

For my 4 hour civpro exam this semester, I was hot when I came into the room so I took off my sweater and took the exam in a t-shirt. Soon as it was over, I started shaking violently because apparently I was freezing.

Grats, this is what I'm praying for this semester.

[solotee]

Based on how people felt after the exam (like shit), I know it was the curve that saved me.

No past exams available for this class, nor did he give an example on how to answer a hypo. Even with this grade, I'll forever have a grudge for what I've been put through.

[kaiser]

I'd absolutely kill for a curve save in con law. After talking to my class, everyone seems to agree that it was beyond brutal. I really flailed on that exam and didn't mention much of the relevant stuff. My discussion was disjointed and ugly. And with a very tight word limit, there was no room for error. That was the only class where I felt certain to hit some level of a B. All other classes I felt like could very well be A-. But I'd go streaking if con law came back A- given how much I hated the subject and how poorly the exam went for me (in my gut feeling).

[blurbz]

I've waited to post about exams because I'm not too happy with them. Each one had a significant multiple choice section and those are just really, really hard to gauge.

I was in the top 5% last semester, I suspect my grades this semester will drop me to ~20-25%.


In conclusion: I hate multiple choice.
