<p>Well, I think I've done all I can. I've pretty much memorized my notes/outlines so that I'm prepared to simply regurgitate the info onto the blue book (sorry for the visual). I'm going to get up a little earlier, look over my notes, and well...we'll see how it goes. Good luck to everyone with midterms!</p>
<p>Thanks, bfired.
It feels like I just started school.</p>
<p>oh sh it, I missed 16 questions. :( I thought I missed 12 or 13 after I got the answers. :( It's not even 70%. Totally screwed up:(</p>
<p>Wait... the hardest midterm exam you've taken in your three years here was a 50-question multiple-choice exam? What's your major?</p>
<p>I mean it's the hardest "multiple choice" exam. :(</p>
<p>That's probably a D. :(</p>
<p>The total for that course is 200, now I've already lost 16 and another 3.5 points in quizzes. That's 10% of the total. :( I was moving home durinig wk3, so I got no time to study.</p>
<p>ShirleyxY- aren't you a transfer? why did I think you were a transfer?</p>
<p>because if you're a transfer it would make this test the hardest of your college career thus far, but that's not abnormal if it's your first at UCLA. </p>
<p>I'm confused now.</p>
<p>Yeah, I thought she was a transfer too.
So she is a freshman then?</p>
<p>Yes, I'm a transfer. But I used to have very difficult exams that getting 60/100 is the highest in the class.</p>
<p>I'm just a little bit disappointed, cuz I learned most of stuff for this course beforehand.</p>
<p>Sometimes tests are just hard.</p>
<p>It'll be fine.</p>
<p>I've just overheard a few people said their grades are around 36, 37. So, I'm a little bit below average. That means I probably get a C.</p>
<p>I got a B on my midterm and even when you factor in the quizzes I'm still in the B+ range. I've never had a B before this (j/k, of course)!!! I hope that I can at least fall into the A- range by the end of the quarter.</p>
<p>You've got lots of time. As far as I'm concerned, having a B+ is a good place to be after midterms. It means that as long as you do marginally better on the final, and keep up with hw/papers/quizzes, you're totally safely in the A- to A range.</p>
<p>Well, I took the midterm this morning and although there were no surprises, I don't feel as good as I thought I would. I mean, two of the three essays I had to write were actual sample questions I had asked myself the night before, but there was one where I had to choose two of four historical time periods and explain the significance to the party system, so I picked two, but halfway through the first, I realize I could've written a stronger essay with another period, so it threw me off but it was too late to start over, so I finished the test with a nagging feeling that I should've picked something else. I feel like I'm totally over-analyzing it, but hey, it's my first UCLA exam and I tend to stress and think I did a lot worse than I actually did. Hopefully that's the case. I don't know if that even made sense.</p>
<p>I have a midterm tomorrow and I haven't yet read anything (i do intend to, soon). </p>
<p>Which is why it's a very good thing this class is a joke.</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>With your schedule, I don't think I could start studying until the night before.</p>
<p>Pretty much. </p>
<p>Doesn't hurt that this material is really, really basic though. Yay for rote memorization.</p>
<p>The mean for this midterm is 36, now I confirm that I get 34. So, what grade is it? C or B-? I asked my prof and he said b-. I'm not quite sure if it's real, cuz he was talking with other people.</p>
<p>I felt so dumb today. When I went to my prof's office, I was forced to sit around him and talked about the exam questions with other students. But I just don't know how to do the question he asked. holy sh$$ :( </p>
<p>I should go to UCR instead. :(</p>
<p>LOL. Stop putting yourself down.
I had a similar experience today. Don't think anything about having "stupid" questions. If you don't get something then ask. There is nothing wrong with that.</p>
<p>Well, but I got a weird look from him. :(</p>
