frustrating... you want to be relieved bc you finished a class completely, but you've got another exam around the corner and know you should be studying or something

I have to write an insane 3700 word 8 hour take home for torts on Monday.

Edit
And I'm watching YouTube clips of superheroes and playing on TLS.

you have not written an in class exam yet if you think 3700 words is "insane"

Haven't hit 3,700 words on any of my exams yet. Don't imagine I ever will.

Yeah my CivPro exam was an 8 hour take home, and the most difficult part of the exam was keeping it under the 3300 word limit. My contracts exam is also 8 hour take home, and that word limit is 3000. Not much looking forward to that.

My last exam is a take home on Monday and it is so hard to find the sense of urgency for studying compared with a shorter on-site exam.

Actually relieved I have no take-homes. It sounds nice in theory, but it generally entails prolonging an already painful, anxiety-inducing exam. I prefer to just get it over with.

ETA: at least it seems like that's what it entails. I could be totally wrong.

Bearlyalive · Post by **Bearlyalive** » Sat Dec 10, 2016 11:28 pm

I kinda liked my 8-hour take home, but then I haven't taken an in-class yet to compare it to. But in general, I didn't feel stressed about taking a few minutes to walk away and think about something, I could look at my outline without worrying about time, etc etc. I have a feeling that for an in-class exam, I would have needed to "study" more, in the sense of getting familiar with my materials and memorizing more stuff so I could find the information faster. As it was, I could focus more on making sure I actually knew how to apply the material.

my contracts on monday is a 6 hour in-class and i'm gonna need every minute of those 6 hours

slippin_jimmy · Post by **slippin_jimmy** » Sun Dec 11, 2016 9:10 pm

Honestly, I will just be super glad to be half done with exams tomorrow afternoon. 4 exams in a week is kind of sadistic.

Kicking off the late exam period in the morn...God help us all, Jeebus.

First exam reflection: I've never written so much that I'm supremely unconfident that any of it made any sense. This is why you should never review the exam after it's over. Just haunting.

Congrats! But im there with you. Pretty sure for torts i did 0 analysis and only listed the required elements for each issue. Not thinking about it/dreading civ pro (tomorrow) and contracts next week have kept me fairly sane.
