Why is everyone everywhere else calling it finals.
Tests+middle of the year=MIDTERMS
People are so weird ;D (my cousins from florida call midterms finals too, it annoys the hell out of me)
Lucky for me, I'm a smart kid, don't really have to study anything. Tell me if anyone else gets this-
We get next monday off, and then tuesday through friday are half days, taking two midterms every day.
Since I have never stressed over exams, for me it's like a free week.

You guys should be lucky that you have the priviledge to do those easy-@%% exams.
For me, I have to do my CDC's [College Development Course]. Yes, even my technical training continues on throughout my job.

Try these for example:[easy]
If the instructions on a Rx label tells a patient to take 2 tablespoons of Amoxicillin 250mg/5ml suspension everyday for ten days, how many ml [total] does the patient have to take?
[Difficult]
Interpret this sig: T1 TAB PO Q 4-6 h.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg for me. You people should enjoy whatever is left of your childhood life. I sure miss it.

Oh, I don't even want to think about tests right now. I have an organic chemistry midterm tomorrow that I am very worried about.

Ah, I remember those good old days

The U.S High school is a rather easy one though. As a foreigner with just 1 high school year under my belt, I was placed in the Senior class and averaged a 3.5 GPA.
Now I'm not exactly a member of MENSA (duuh ;D ) Just read what the teacher's tell you to do, that aint hard.
I was so spoiled with that style of teaching, that I really struggled with my grades when I got back home. It's just so different. And you gotta love multiple choice questions ;D ;D
I'd hate to be a student in China or Japan. THEY have a hard time :)

The thing about exams is that you have to start studying at least 3 weeks before.
This sounds stupid, but thats how I stay in the Top 20.
Question your teachers and use the syllabus copies to your advantage...

Lol, I have never studied for more than 7 minutes at a time for any subject and still gets As and Bs. And I'm serious, I actually sat down one day (ok, I was cruising and had nothing better to do) and thought "wait a minute, have I ever really studied anything for any amount of time?" Well, the answer was no. Boy did that change when I started flying.
