I've spent the last two weeks working my socks off for my exams starting this week! Sooooo much work and soooo little time!!!

It took you TWO WEEKS to get out of your SOCKS  

Good Luck with any EXAM

I would NOT recommend taking your exams barefooted. Folks might think you're a hillbilly or something and get offended.

Get yourself another pair of socks.

Good luck. You'll do well. I am confident in that.

Banjoy,

I respectfully disagree.  I lecture barefooted.  I find it relaxing and comfortable (I'm guessing the students think I'm a moron, though).

Ed, the best of luck to you.  Take your shoes and socks off and relax.  congrats.

Remember to not wear socks on exam days if you studied with them off.

Good luck, Ed -- I know exams are much harder on the students than on the faculty! My dread starts tomorrow -- the day after I input final grades....

Good luck, and remember 20 years from now, you will wish you was back there.

I attended class sans shoes, but only during the summer sessions.

 

GOOD LUCK ED!

I think in fact you will do very well in your exams, if anyone should ask why so?  I would reply it’s because you appear to be intellectually curious, sign of a high achiever,….good luck !..Encouragement note: Remember {as example}.. the finishing tape that you see in the 100-meter dash, ..is not your finishing tape,..'your tape' is 12’ feet beyond,…{said my college athletics coach }..alas !.. I nearly always came in second, but I put in extra effort, that naturally was coach’s plan.

Thanks for that!

I hope to do well, but the problem now, is that in a lot of exams, intellectual curiosity isn't always an advantage. Its how the exams work nowadays :S

I am still taking grad school exams in my dreams.  I either can't find the room for the exam or forgot to go to class the whole semester.  Sounds like when I was awake.

Boy, do I remember those days......if you do half as well on your exams as you do on the banjo, you will do fine.

Look at it this way: for every exam you take I have to grade forty.

Best of luck - if it's any help the best advice I can give is to relax. On the night before my PhD orals I didn't cram but watched the original Star Wars trilogy, Guinness in hand. Be confident -- you know you can do it --
