I know the teachers dont like it either. They often coment on the pointlessness of coming for a half day wehen there is nothing left to do.

I still find it funny that college exams seem to be easier than high school exams were.

Thats what they say about my school. Well, actually what they say is that it doesn't really help you get into college (im pretty sure thats not true), but it makes college so much easier.

Our school has nothing else better to do with their time than to make us work. We often discuss the possibility of "death by cary academy". All of our classes are either college prep or AP or honors.

A lot of alumni from our school say college is a breeze compared to Covenant.

Well, we only have 4 graduating classes now. All of them say that unless you go to some crazy hard college, it is easier.

lol, well maybe it is. I have just noticed that in general, people say it is easier because of the workload they put on us at my school.

Our final exams are easier than our unit exams throughout the schoolyear.

Our final exams are a beast compared to our regular tests, which we already think are really hard....because they are.

Our final exams are really hard compared to our regular tests, but we spend more time reviewing for them and the teachers prepare us more.

I wish our teachers prepared us more for ours. They kinda just leave that up to us.

Most of ours do, but some just leave you hanging. I especially appreciate it when they give us a review packet.

My math teacher laughed at us when we aksed when we were going to review. Then when we asked for at least a review packet, he laughed again. THis was followed by a 23 page final.

Well most of my finals in college haven't even been cumulitive they are just one more regular test at the end of the semester.

LUCKY! I wish mine were like that, but no. The teachers get a full 2.5 hours to torture us and make us remember everything we ever learned all year.

Well i have had a few cumulitive finals like in math and English but most have been regular tests. Just depends on the professor.

I wish most of ours were not cummulative, but I don't see that changing anytime soon. I think it may be impossible.
