Right now it's 4:07... Anyway, just to cheer me and all others up at this so wonderful exam time of the year, let's hear all those horrific exam stories. Surely there must be some nail biters out there that will bring a chuckel to our day. So let's hear em'!

and possibably delusional Ivey...

Mark,
Be sure to let your prof knows of your illness. It's a toss up if it will make a difference, but letting them know usually will help matters.
I once had a big final exam, pulled an all nighter studying as it was a big part of final grade. Got to the room for the exam to find that a family emergency had pulled the prof away and the dept head decided whatever grades that had been eraned up to that point would be the final grade. Don't wait to the final to bring your grade back up.

7:00 AM Engineering Graphics final. And school is 40 miles from where I live.

Wow! This amazes me, 7 AM Finals???? Saturday FINALS???? Your schools have classes at those times??? Our school doesn't even allot class times, nor final times for said above. Be sure you check into academic policies. Worst horror stories I have heard so far, is 4 or 5 exams on the same day. However, academic policies prohibit you from having 3 or more exams in the same day.

Mine tend to be all the other way, I have one Monday 1-3, and one Thursday 1-3. Other than that, I have night classes, and the final is held during the regularly scheduled night class from 5:45-9ish.

Best of Luck to everyone!

Exam horror story? I once fell asleep while taking an exam. It was Algebra II and I woke up with half an exam to finish and only five minutes to finish it in...

Well, Mr. Delusional Ivey, I hope you feel better and you didn't give very strange answers to your calculus questions.
