Always write something down. At least try. You get 0 points for blanks, so that can only improve, and you may know more than you think

As a lot of people are saying here, you’re probably too far behind at this point to reasonably pull it out of your ass at the last minute.

I might study what you can of what you haven’t gotten to yet. Start with high level overviews before you get deep into the details of any one section. This is probably futile if you’re less than halfway through the material though.

Whatever you do, set a hard cutoff time to just stop, stop worrying, accept whatever is about to happen, and go the fuck to sleep. You aren’t getting through it all in one day. Better to get a good nights rest so you can demonstrate well the bits you do know, and brace for the impact.

Moving forward, learn from this panic and worry.

I’ve been where you are, trying to crunch last minute to pass a class or a test, more times than I can count. My original university put me on academic probation: “We don’t want any more of your money unless you’re going to pass your classes”

A US university saying no to money. Fuck.

In the future you either need to keep up with the work, or notice that you aren’t/can’t/don’t feel like it and pull the ejector seat handle earlier. Stop trusting the voice that tells you that you’ll be able to crunch it at the last moment. You need to be brutally honest with yourself about your own limits, at least internally.

Professors will often work with you if you come to their office hours and talk to them early, but every single one knows when you’re coming in last minute as fire insurance. You can also drop a course before you get too far into it.

3 feet before the cliff is too late to worry about pumping the brakes. But if you can get back up after then you can do better next time.

Get a good night’s sleep

Invent a time machine. Go back in time. Study.

Failing that, learn from your mistakes, and next time… well… study.

Exam on xmas eve? Your instructor is a shitter. But regardless, you’re going to fail and that’ll be earned. Work harder next time.

Lots of really good advice in here so let me give you bad advice:

Given your lack of effort, it seems like you don’t really care about your CS engineering degree. Have you considered dropping out and working food service or a customer service/help desk job in a bland corporate environment?

Of course, you could always prove to yourself that you do care about finishing your degree. You most likely won’t be able to prove it this time, but do reconsider your priorities in life before starting your next attempt.

Everything is optional in life.

Keep reading Lemmy. The answers here. Somewhere.

#include <iostream> using namespace std;

int main() { char procrastinated;

cout << "Did you procrastinate? (y/n): ";
cin >> procrastinated;

if (procrastinated == 'y' || procrastinated == 'Y') {
    cout << "You procrastinated! Remember, study earlier next time to avoid the stress!" << endl;
} else {
    cout << "Good job staying on track! Keep it up!" << endl;
}

return 0;

}

Take the course again, you already know some, so it should be easier to study more. Just don’t take it too many times, when I was in college there was a limit or 3-4 times you can take a course.

Do a past paper

1. Ask for an incomplete in the class, withdraw, or accept the failure.
2. Retake the course and get a decent grade.

Biggest thing I had to learn is when to withdraw from a class, ask the professor for more time very far in advance, and accept that you sometimes fail and need to retake it.

Oh no worries bro.

Just think about eggs.

Start studying now. Review all the lecture notes, previous tests.

Learn the algorithms. i.e. how the programs work. If you have the option, write those steps down in exams instead of studying the whole program.
