No, but I'd think there'd be more of a buffer, it's common in this city to take a right at a stop sign and be in a development full of 500k+ with damn near zero crime rate, if you take a left, you get shot at.  It's weird, the slums are too busy trying to rob each other that they don't even notice the lexus with the keys in it across the road.

Im a fucking microbiologist, and this entire course has been about fucking animal cells, memorizing enzymes and pathways that don't exist in microbes.  I don't get how my classmates are doing so well, unless it's because I hate memorizing, I fucking hate the course, hate the profs (omg one of them is a fucking intelligent design tard, fucking tenure), and I'm just basically unhinged right now.

It's not the end of my career, but it really really sucks, I just don't understand why they're doing this to me.  And why i did worse on an exam that I was more prepared for.

Of course this is my fault, gotta take responsibility for this, but it's just so depressing to put so much effort into the second exam, and then doing worse.  It's like I have no control over my fate.

I'm going to quit talking to these people unless they're up front about what they've got.

I was a psych major for a few semesters.  my primary interest was in memory encoding and recall.  Lots can go wrong when studying that can cause you to block certain encoded material on the test, or to not encode the information at all.  worst of all, if you study the wrong material, you could permanently encode the wrong information.  this creates a lot of doubt in yourself when answering questions on an exam. 

that being said, tho, there are some studying tips that can reduce the amount of time you need to study as well as have it encoded much more accurately and decrease the chance of it being blocked.  If you're interested I could post a link to those times?
