Heather - I get special testing accommodations so I get twice the amount of time that the class gets. So if each exam is 1 hr long, I get 2 hrs to take it. So 2 exams equals about 4 hours.

Ernie - I have her notes and labs and everything and one of the labs changed but I did notice that it is the same study guide that I have so maybe it is the same.

Nyssa- I wouldn't think they would change those up too much unless there was a really good reason to.

Case in point- I took AP Calc. in my senior year of high school, which happened to be the second year that they allowed/required calculators to be used on the exam. The AP board had completely rewritten the exam due to the fact that the previous year was way too easy (almost everyone got 5's on it) and, after completion of the exam on the year that I took it, they admitted that it was the hardest one that they had ever administered!!! Just my luck...I got a 3 and there were very few 5's across the nation that year...LOL!

SO what the heck is up with a 4 hour exam - will it really take that long? How many questions?

And stats sucks anyway you sugar coat it - sorry... I think after 1 year of taking it - I finally started to get a handle on it :( after a billion hours of studying it seems...

I realized my biggest problem with stats was my "give a damn" factor - my "give a damn" about that topic was SOOOOOOOOO LOW... that I had to get over myself just to pass it...

I also made best friends with those in the class who it was easy for - and spent a lot of time studying with them.

Yea that is the plan. So hopefully it won't too bad. I actually have my roommates exam from 3 years ago and it doesn't look too bad but knowing my luck it is harder than what it use to be. lol

Nyssa- Sorry, didn't know you were here!!!

Sounds like they have you on a pretty tough schedule this week...although, the cheat sheet should help out at least a little bit!!

Hey Ernie and those still awake. I've been here the whole time but no point in talking to myself besides no one listens to me anyways.

But I have been studying and writing a cheat sheet for my statistic exam tomorrow and then right after (with no cheat sheet) my animal physiology exam for 4 hours. Now doesn't that sound like fun. lol Then another exam Friday. Yeah... no. lol
