The worst week ever only hours away

Well I don't think I need to remind you that exams kick off tomorrow.

Just a fore warning to all of you "freshies" out there who haven't quite had the chance to experience exams.

You're likely going to want to kill yourself by 9:45. But don't be alarmed; this is natural.

Exams are known for being the birth place of many kids' first life crisis.

Essentially, what is going to happen is that you are going to take the exam, and then dread the day your parents see the grades. Now ideally they don't see them until well after Christmas, because kids have been known for losing Christmas gifts over grades. Depending on when your parents stumble upon these grades, has a great effect on how long you will likely remain under house arrest.

Also, there is no need to feel alone when the exam is handed out and you realize that you don't know any of the answers on the first page. This is also very common.

It actually gives the teachers great delight to see you break out in a cold sweat and ask to use the bathroom because you feel sick. It means they're doing their job ( reminder: the school goes into lockdown during exams so no bathrooms.... bring an empty water bottle).

And since your classmates are likely as clueless as you are, feel free to take a peek at their test every now and again.

So pointers for you exam takers:

1. Before you get to class try to determine who is the most well prepared in the class and sit next to them. During the test try to gradually scoot your desk closer to them, and make sure your tests are consistent with one another. (Don't worry, the teachers are totally cool with this.)

2. Bring plenty of pencils and extra erasers.

3. Bring food and a water bottle (preferably one that your not afraid to pee in if need be)

4. (optional) Its not a bad idea to bring something for your teacher, like money. This has been known for greatly increasing peoples grades.

While studying for the exams, its not a bad idea to destress every few minutes.

Things that work well:

1. Dart boards with teachers on them

2. Fireworks (use outdoors for best results)

3. And working in study groups has been shown an increase in productivity (as shown below)
