Reborn Outcast Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Oh man I just got finished with my first day of midterms ever. And lemme tell you it STUNK. Teachers putting on things that we don't use in class.. ARRR It made me mad. Well at least I think I passed. Anyone else here taking midterms? Oh and the fact that its -4 degrees here and they cancelled snowboarding didn't help much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 I am a little hazy on the American school exam system...what are midterms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reborn Outcast Posted January 23, 2003 Author Share Posted January 23, 2003 After 2nd quarter (every school year has 4 grading periods/quarters) there is a big test for every major subject to see what you have learned over the course of half a year. These are midterms. At the end of the year comes finals which is to see how much you've learned over the whole year. Oh and then theirs Stanford testing, MCAS (A special Massachusetts test), SAT, PSAT, ACT and all those other fun tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-s/<itzo- Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 good thing i go to college. no midterms but we do get finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Uhhh... Aren't finals and midterms the same thing? My school calls them finals. I took them last week. I thought I failed Spanish, but it turns out I got a C! That pushed up my grade from a C to a B in the class. Other than that, I find finals to be a breeze... *** I see the difference. But my school calls both sets Final Exams... I guess they are finals of the semester, not the year. :shrugs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-s/<itzo- Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 well in highschool. midterms only cover the half of the year. finals cover the whole year. in college most classes takes only a semester to finish. so theres no midterms only finals.

WolfmanNCSU Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Originally posted by -s/<itzo- in college most classes takes only a semester to finish. so theres no midterms only finals. Not true. Even though classes finish in a semester (with a very few number of exceptions), most classes have both mid terms and finals in college with a few more exams thrown in at the professors discresion.
