Why didn’t you?! Of course that sounds a little cynical from my end, but the fact remains that few students will study for Final Exams and fewer will visit my web sites for help. Makes a teacher wonder why THEY (the teacher) puts so much time and effort into their lessons and in creating fair and valid tests. I could be surfing the net, playing my guitars, teaching my parrot new tricks, binding up wounds from parrot bites received during training, or any number of other activities. Final Exams are a fact of life. They happen at the end of a semester or year in most American High Schools. They happen in jobs when you are expected to be able to perform on your own after receiving some expensive training. They happen when your kid is leaving home after 18+ years and you wonder if you taught them well.Preparing BEFORE the test is smart, responsible, and necessary – that is, if one hopes to achieve a measure of success. Don’t cripple yourself on purpose.Get to it! If you need some help or even pointers, see me before or after school or come to see me during SRT on Monday or Tuesday.
