College Exams are Not as Bad as They are Chalked Up to Be

Today I had my first college exam!

And to say the least, I was nervous!!!! I had been so worried this whole week, so I spent hours upon hours reading the chapters, outlining, and making flashcards. My professor told me that EVERYTHING we would need to know would be on the study guide, but I didn't believe her.

I thought she was trying to trick us into studying just the study guide and then she would throw in other hard questions.....................................................

Everything that she asked came directly off the study guide. Luckily, I studied the study guide as well, so I knew the information.

Coming into college I was so worried that college exams were going to be insanely difficult, but as long as you keep up with the work that the professor assigned, and you review weekly the exams should not be something to lose sleep over (I wished I knew that before).

I think I was so ramped up because in college exams are worth a much bigger percentage than high school because most college professors do not give homework grades.

It wasn't until I got to Miami that I realized that the professors were just as accommodating as my high school teachers.

Exams?? Piece of cake!!
