Tomm i have an exam to write…
but there are more then a few complications. The exam is somethin we in Canada call a provincial exam, it is done by the government, happens at a specific time all across your particular province and is collected and marked in the span of three months. I have been told and forced into retaking the course that this exam is for however am also being forced to rite this exam. It is of course redundant. Since i finished the course I have barely studied, lost almost all knowledge and been busy with attending a funeral as well as just being very exctied and nervous about the special guest I have coming in 3 days. I know that if I take this exam tommorow I will most likely fail. Either way, I cant weasel out of it on my parents side.
Perhaps you will all not endorse the option im about to present but frankly being forced to take a redundant exam at such a time for me seems ridiculous. I am considered being dropped off at the building where teh exam is held and then waiting for my ride to leave. Both my parents will be at work and I will walk home, not having done the exam but saying I had. THe results will never come in. THere are a few pitfalls that concern me, one is obviously in three months my parents may want to do some investigating, not that I think theyll suspect me.
My other option is of course to fail this exam and take the rap. And yes, i will still be in big **** even though its a redundant exam. I do not have rational parents on the matter of education.
Any suggestions? Any advice? Id appreciate anything you guys have to say as I’m nervous about a few things currently and need some reinforcement/ help in general.

I’d say rather than walking home - at least take the test. You never know - the course material might be in your brain somewhere and you might do better than you expect.

Of course, he says it’s redundant, so why invest the effort?
But the final in the course I also bombed, taking me from the 90’s to the 70’s.
I have also historically bombed all math finals.. another perspective.

Because he said he would get in trouble from his parents if they found out.

Well, if you don’t take the test and your parents never find out - you’ve saved a little time, right? But if you don’t take it and they DO find out - you’re up sh*t creek, right?
But im also sh*t up the creek if i take it and fail.
Commander Ikari wrote:
Why did you have to retake the course though?
Not a high enough mark.
Snar wrote:

But you said they wouldn’t find out about not taking it, how would they find out your score?
Snar wrote:

But if you don’t even try you’ll fail for sure, right? :/

There would be no score if i didnt take it however i havent decided which is a better choice because both have pitfalls.
If I were you, I wouldn’t even waste my time to take the exam. I’d enjoy my time with my special guest and put it out of my mind until I have to deal with the consequences in a few months (during which time I have enough time to think up a better excuse lol).
Hope that helps :)
Thanks Nisa i think im leaning towards that.
No problem :). Let me know what you ultimately choose and how it goes. Good luck =)
pretend to be really really sick the day before the exam…use make up, hair dryers (to make your head hot but make sure your mom can’t hear), what ever to make it seem like you got the cold, and you might want to fake throw up like have a glass of water next to the bathroom and then just make the sounds while throwing the water in the toilet and just dont wake up in the morning when they wake you up and start coughing….and make sure not to understand what they tell you….just act…that’s the dramatic/scandelous back up plan :)
on the brighter side, only 3 more days until your special guest!!!!! yay!
Hehe thanks for the plan and the note on the bright side. Tonite is hower, the night before the exam… its too late.

It’s never too late! stay up all night and tell them you were up all night because you were anxious about the exam and fall asleep while talking to them and don’t make sense when you talk to them about little stuff like what you want for breakfast…but that might be a little too dramatic…anyway, if that doesn’t work I think you should do whatever you want…good luck!
Naw, sick ones bad at this stage i think singer. I have used it before but now i think is a bad time. And I shall do what i want! If… if i can figure that out. Thanks fer wishin me luck :)

Get off the internet and start studying. Take the freaking test. Maybe you’ll do better than before, you never know. If you fake being sick, they’ll see through it and may say you’re too sick to be out with company! Even if they don’t, it’s better if they don’t mention to your gf that you were throwing up recently.
They may get mad if you don’t do well, but the sh** will hit the fan if they find out you skipped it on purpose.
Well my plan was neever gettin sick, it was only not writing it at all. And you are rite about the last part… the consequences are high if i skip it and im found out.

yeah…the getting sick was my stupid idea :P sorry about that, lying never helps, so I’d just take the test if I were you :/
:( the hard ruote eh? *Sighs dejectedly* i guess id better hit the books, i only got a few hours.
have fun studying!
study tip: chew a certain flavor gum while studying and then chew the same flavored gum while taking the exam

I dont have either.
But! haha that reminds me of this kid I knew who thought he was a rebel and would always have his gum out on his desk just to see if the teacher cared. He was a silly kid…

Well… I’ll probably just do a few questions tonite to study, show up, and decide on the spot whether to ditch or not.

wow I’m stupid…when I read your post, I thought “tomm” was someone’s name…just goes to show that you’re smart and don’t need studying…I’m sure you’ll be fine
Thanks singer.
*chuckles* Tom! I have an exam to write! (thats really funny to me for some reason… that you thot it was a name…)

:) laughter is good for studying (i think I’ve used that word at least 20 times)
well… sad to say we don’t have that in school…
for me,, i think u better be more serious with your studies now???
I DID IT! For once i did the bad thing, yey for courage (or was it desperation?). Anyways, singer at least asked me to say what i chose and I just got home. I got to the exam building and walked straight out the back-door and came home. Feels good (sorry to sans and people who advized me to take it, i just dont think it was worth it in any way shape or form.).
Oh and by i did it I mean, I did the plan… which was NOT doing the exam.

p.s. two more days!!

YAY! Dude, I know what that’s like. Despite what some people would have you believe, one exam isn’t going to ruin your future. Have fun with your guest, make it up to your parents when the time comes, and just do better next time lol. Thanks for the update =)
:D I know! 2 more days… its crazy *Grins foolishly*.
And yeah, ill make it up to them… ill get good in math during the semester :).

They shouldn’t make you take the test (the school) because you deserve like a grace period after the death of a relative or close person to morn and everything.. Maybe you can go and ask for a grace period and explain to them the death and then they might consider giving it to you.. Which gives you more time to try and study at least a little bit and then take the test
Thanks bridget, the test is over however and I didnt take it.
