<p>...the last few days of school. You do absolutely nothing, except maybe take an old ibook and play on the internet...</p>
<p>Dang I thought you were going to say I love Phillip. :(</p>
<p>I'm getting into your pants!</p>
<p>Well, in my school the last days are full of final exams and a lot of stress.</p>
<p>Final exams are always easy, but one must watch what they are doing; I erased four questions and misplaced the correct answer with an incorrect one, which forced me to keep a B. All I needed was two more points to get an A, and I subtracted four...if I had turned it in the first time I would have had the A.</p>
<p>Hopefully, I'll be exempt from all of my finals, except one, which the teacher says it's mandatory to take it. I'll find out tomorrow.</p>
<p>Since when do freshmen get exemptions? We juniors never get them here.
Now I am envious...very envious of you.</p>
<p>Everybody can get an exemption, if the administration and teachers allow it. Some, like my French teacher, don't allow exemptions.</p>
<p>I love that I have been out of school since last week. Woohoo!</p>
<p>Yeah, we get exam exemptions also. Of course we don't get exempt from the required EOC's such as Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Civics & Economics, US History, etc... But for the ones that there isn't a required state EOC, we can be exempt. There is some deal where if you have an A in the class and you didn't miss more than 4 days of that class, you are exempt. It goes down from there, like if you have a B, you cannot miss more than 3 days. </p>
<p>All of my exams were extremely easy. But in this one class the teacher sucks at teaching, so everyone in the class failed except one kid who got a 70. I got a 67. Anyways, most people in the state must have did that poorly also, because we got a 22 point curve. I ended up with a freaking 89 on it, which was the 2nd highest grade in the class.</p>
<p>In most of my classes, you have to have a least a B average and have 5 or less absences to be exempt.</p>
<p>only seniors get exempt @ my school...and only if they have an 85 average or something. some teachers make them take it though</p>
<p>That sucks. I am glad my school isn't so strict on exemptions. I hate exams.</p>
<p>Yeah...we don't have finals. We have quarterlies...which is like a cumulative final every quarter x.x</p>
<p>Hopefully, I'm exempt from the algebra final because I know it's going to be very tough.</p>
<p>lamp? I love lamp.</p>
<p>Olive_Tree:
The average GPA here is above a weighted 3, so about 50% of the finals administered here would not be taken. However, by school policy, the only people allowed to be exempt are seniors on project; the project done during the last month of high school is the final, and if it is not satisfactory graduation may not happen for the candidate.</p>
<p>For seniors only:
If you have an A in the class, you can miss 3 days and still be exempt, a B 2 days, a C 1 day, and you just have to take it if you have a D.</p>
<p>This is a strategy to keep seniors in class, and it pretty much works.</p>
<p>I'm pretty much done with finals. The last day for seniors was Friday, and most of the kids in my classes were seniors. Thus, most of my finals were last week.</p>
<p>Finals are next week for me.</p>
<p>Today was really productive. I took a final (my last) in one class, and I got to watch people present their stats projects in another. Other than that I watched more movies.</p>
<p>seniors at my school don't take finals</p>
<p>everyone else has to unless it's an AP class (AP exam is the final, and everyone has to take the AP exam)</p>
