Need advice? Email stentorian@ncssm.edu and you may be anonymously featured in the next issue! Dear Tori... Dear Tori, My math exam is coming up. I have a B in the class and my only hope of getting an A is to do extremely well on the final exam. I’ve been studying nonstop and honestly feel like I’m going to end up with a B in the class, but I’ve never had a B before! I think my parents are expecting me to have all A’s this trimester, and I don’t know how to break it to them, or handle it myself I’m tired of studying and ready for trimester break. Sincerely, Petrified Pupil Dear Petrified Pupil, The most important thing to understand is that you’re trying your best. Don’t feel guilty about slacking off, because you have obviously been working hard so far this trimester. With the last moments before your exam, I encourage you to talk to your teacher, work practice problems, and/ or study in a group, but don’t overstudy. You don’t want to exhaust yourself and find yourself falling asleep all over the test. And so what if you get a B? Embrace your imperfection. because it’s the only route toward true happiness. Your parents should understand if they see all of the hard work you’ve been putting into your math class. NCSSM is meant to challenge you. Also, first trimester is a time to adapt. Maybe you’re still working on finding your perfect studying technique. Things will get easier as you go on. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Best of luck.
