Ever go take a test with NO prior studying.

I have a Psych Test tomorrow and I didnt even read the book. She curves the test. How will I do?

 

[carlosdapaperboy]

I used to do that all the time in high school and I still do it now in college. Never got anything less than a C on any such test

.....

 

[mideastbeast]

Every single test I have taken until freshman year in college.

I did fine. Just off common sense and things I remembered in class.

Speaking of psych... I didn't know what the inside of my textbook looked like and never took down a single line of notes and got an easy 5 on the AP test.It's a joke of a subject.

If you go to every class and pay attention every time you wont need to study you'll already know the material...

 

[itwastyped]

I did that today. I don't think I did that well.

 

[the somali nter]

Took a mid term today without studying at all. My fault though, I forgot it was today and thought it was Thur. I reviewed some old material like 15 mins beforeclass, I feel good about it

 

[worlds enemy]

Intro class?

 

[jfmartimcdandruff]

SATs...smh at me.

Did average...but STUDY, even if it's a little...it can do a lot.

 

[islandfeeling]

this works every once in a while for me...if ive never heard of the material i focus more on the test and do well occasionally

Depends on the class and how extensive the material is. I personally don't know any human beings who can memorize 50 equations for a test after seeing themonce in lecture and be able to to derive them or apply them in different applications and problems.

Anyways. I haven't really done this in college, but pretty much did it all the time in HS. The results varied.

 

[killaotaku]

psyc? should be a breeze if they all multiple answer questions....

 

[downtown43]

Psych is all just common sense... you should do fine.

 

[drunken cow]

Never going to happen in engineering classes. (maybe physics 1 or 2).
But I cant even imagine showing up to a calculus(DVQ or Vectors) and not having prior studying.
I toss and turn at night if I dont study enough for my quiz. =/

 

[itwastyped]

Why don't you just study tonight?

 

[ubuibeme]

Yea I do it all the time. I rarely take notes but have found a way to do well on tests..

I sit in the front row in all of my lectures and listen carefully

 

[youngsole93]

Every test of my life. My teachers tell me if I even applied my self I could be greater in class.

not necessarily. It's always best to look at all the material you have for a class and not just rely on what is covered in lectures becauseI've taken a lot of exams where only a handful of questions came from what was covered in lecture and the rest of the exam was based on things you shouldof got from reading the book especially in psychology classes. Some people get lucky and can make educated guesses or use common sense and do well on teststhat they didn't study for but it's hardly ever a good idea.

This is basically what I was getting at. You know the guys who didn't study. The walk out within 10 minutes of the exam

.

Not studying for an engineering exam = suicide.

Past exams + allowed cheat/formula sheet + studying = good to go.

Youcan B.S. a psych test though. It's all counter intuitive logic.

 

[juju]

i swear freshman year i studied for like 6 hours for a math test went in took it and just knew i aced that @$*+, even went to halloween horror nights and had ablast only to come back to a 45% smh

now tell me how the same semester i spent the entire night before my law class smoking tree and drinking beer till 3 am with the test at 9 and got a c+ on thefinal?

 

[vtran27]

took a physics test last week that which i go to all the classes and pay attention, but dont study. don't think i did so hot. highschool tests are a walkin the park compared to some college exams.

 

[needsomejays]

im in highschool, and i never study, especially now that im a senior i really dont give a %^$&

 

[loveofthegame916]

Lol maybe because it was a mass media in society class...most of that was common sense...I never cracked that book open once and got a B+ in the class

If it's multiple choice, I'm good.
