Some people really are "bad test-takers", which I don't completely understand, because as Daniel Tosh puts it, "Oh, you struggle with that part where we find out what you know?" But in actuality, I do know some otherwise intelligent people who fall under this category, so I wouldn't really discredit it. It has to do with performance under pressure, as well as how well you're able to think critically using the information given on the test (I can't tell you how many times my grade's been saved by going back and changing my answer based on information given in a later question/problem).

However, everybody else is typically complaining about that 1/4 of the time that they're not easier. Classes for higher level subjects often forego other grading entirely; many people I know have to deal with classes where the grade is just a midterm and a final.

I don't understand why everyone makes such a big deal out of tests though, like 3/4 of the time they're easier than the rest of the class

You're also not in college tho

Fuck logic, that shit is boring, lame and does not always support my opinions.

That's because you study that makes the test "easier"
It's more of the anxiety and studying that makes the test "hard"

Here, it was 101 today.
And the moral of the story: Quit while you're a head.

I don't think taking college courses while still in high school counts as "being in college"

I'm taking both the physics SAT and AP tests in the next week. For some reason they don't even have the same material on them ://

if you want to be that technical then I actually reached the required amount of credits a semester ago so yes, I'm out of high school

Having the credits and actually having the diploma are two totally different things.
Try to do everything; you're bound to succeed with at least one.
