So our last Vocational Behavior exam was a massive killer. All of the exams in this class are killer—generally you need like 12+ hours of studying to do well. Our professor asks for citations and nitty gritty details from articles we read weeks and weeks ago.
I had been so busy before the exam (I graded 51 papers two days before; it took me like 8 hours straight) that I didn’t get to study as long as I would have liked. I did put in about 7 hours the day before the exam, but clearly, it wasn’t enough. On the day of the exam itself, I think I literally made up answers to 1/4 of the questions.
Got the test back today—turns out that I missed an abundance of points for leaving out some minute details on the questions for the material that I apparently thought I knew, but that every single answer I made up was 100% correct.
Whoa. Maybe I should stop studying all together.
