Thread: Bombed another calc test

I bombed another test today. I got two tests left and a final which will be used to replace our lowest test score. The worst thing is I am putting the time into it but it isn't paying off. I feel like crap today.

Sorry to hear that.

To be honest, this is very common. Students tell me that they spend a lot of time studying for an exam and then get a poor grade on it. This really just shows that your performance in a particular field does not depend solely on the time you put into it. It depends on the way you prepare.

So, I guess I should ask: how did you prepare for this class exam?

The same thing happened to me in a different class. I prepaired by studying the teachers notes and I spent a long time. I think a problem is it's not apparent which parts you need to learn.
