-Complain to your friends about the test; this is especially helpful if you have friends in the class who have similar feelings.
-Engage in a simple yet engrossing activity, like making peanut-butter-and-jelly tortilla sandwiches for your living block.
-Be understanding of the plight of your roommate who has a test the next day. This isn't so much helpful to you as to him, but virtue is its own reward, is it not?
-Now that you have the time to do so, watch the TSL Finals!
-Dedicate your 50th TL post to how you've coped.
So yeah... I had a Computer Networks test today, and it wrecked me. Part of it was insufficient detail in my studies (whenever I'd get lost in the test, it'd be a terminology problem rather than a conceptual one). Part of it was succumbing to pressure (the ARP caches were empty, so why did I think R2 would reply to the ARP request instead of PC3?). Part of it was overconfidence (the homework was really easy comparatively). But for better or for worse, it's done, and now I can feign some degree of enlightenment to an internet community.
Good luck in your midterms, TL!

DONT SWEAT IT
you've got the previous test + quizzes (im guessing) + homeworks to balance it out!
it'll be alright dude. its only one test!
|
you'll do better next time! Think of it as like...bo5 haha
|
To recover from a midterm you performed poorly on, study harder for the final so you can bring back your grade up.
|
Mould a voodoo doll of your proff and stick pins in it.
|
Just remember when you're successful, you can tell people you give your motivational speech to that you failed your networks final and STILL became a millionaire. What distinguishes you from other people won't really be how much you accomplished, but how you overcame your failures and still became successful.
Best of luck! I always mass game/LAN up with some BW and I DON'T WORK FOR THE REST OF THE DAY

I thought i was the only living creature on this planet to ever embark on a journey to create a nutella + peanut butter + jam tortilla... it seems there is many more

Drink until you black out is a faourite of mine.

Dude, finals are where it's at. You can recover man.

I bombed two midterms, one last night and one this morning. Brain atrophying over Olympic break = gg
|
I had a midterm from 1:00-4:00 yesterday. I stayed 'til the last minute!
I stayed up the whole night before, and couldn't sleep after the test because I kept thinking about the questions. When I woke up today, I felt totally sick lol. I think staying up killed my immune system or something. That midterm gave me a cold.
I feel your pain, but I also feel your enjoyment-- Spring Break starts on Friday, and for some reason, my school has a ridiculously long one! 5th til the 22nd =)

i am a fan of the drinking idea as well
gogo TL college students!! gg gl hf!

I hope I didn't bomb my accounting midterm ._.
Good luck OP :3

Update:
The TA graded fast! I got a 64/100, which was better than the worst-case scenarios I'd been afraid of (and definitely better than some other midterms I've taken).
My sadness is also mitigated by the fact that I got 87/89 on another class's exam.
Over Spring Break, though, I'll hopefully spend my time working on the Static Router project for that class. Since projects are worth more than exams (and I already got 10/10 on the first project), I should be able to recover. Bo5 indeed! And thus life moves on.

For every point you got off the exam, make sure some form of "fag" or "gay" is used to describe the class/subject/text/teacher.
|
That feeling doesn't compare to getting terrible on an easy midterm which is supposed to be free marks.
Yep, I got a 70% on a Linear Algebra 1 midterm, didn't study at all, and I came out thinking I aced it.
|
Saw your post after raping the shit out of my algorithms midterm :D
Sorry for you though  . Missing out on the high of FUCK YES tests are done! Spring break! But... there's no TSL this weekend. What.... so wrong.
|
It wont be your last midterm. Just push through it.
|
In the process of getting wrecked by my midterms, lol. Study Break was last week for me, and all the midterms and projects were scheduled for this week. :/
