Why do you guys prefer Friday exams? Wednesday or Thursday definitely tops.
(1) We get to take 3 days off leading up to the exam (which I thought was pretty common) which means that every day BUT Friday lets you include a weekend within that study time, giving you a 5 day weekend leading up to the exam. (2) After the exam you have a great excuse to go out and get drunk or do nothing or do whatever you want. You already do stuff on Fridays (or can) so you're taking away one of those days from yourself by choosing Friday. (3) The day following an exam is usually worthless as you spend it on the AO reading people talk about the exam and no one at works expects you to get much done. By taking it on Friday now you've partially ruined Saturday. I would have chosen Friday as the worst day to take an exam. |
