Both. Also, talk to me when you have a cumulative final in organic chemistry. My brain feels like mush.

Never gonna happen, majoring in CS because it's probably the easiest six figure salary career path in existence.

I mean, I genuinely like programming. Let's go with that.

Here try this
Prepare before the test.
Study. Get a good night's sleep. Eat breakfast. If you're someone who drinks caffeinated drinks, today is not the day to skip it. Similarly, if you never drink caffeine, today is not the day to start. Get to the exam early enough that you have time to get organized and relax.
Write down what you know.
Don't risk drawing a blank when confronted with a calculation! If you memorized constants or equations, write them down even before you look at the test.
Read the instructions.
Read the instructions for the test! Find out whether points will be deducted for wrong answers and whether you have to answer all of the questions. Sometimes chemistry tests allow you to choose which questions to answer. For example, you may need to only work 5/10 problems. If you don't read the test instructions, you might do more work than you need to and waste valuable time.
Preview the test.
Scan the test to see which questions are worth the most points. Prioritize the high-point questions, to make sure you get them done.
Decide how to use your time.
You may be tempted to rush on in, but take a minute to relax, compose yourself, and figure out where you need to be when your allotted time is halfway over. Decide which questions you're going to answer first and how much time you'll give yourself to go back over your work.
Read each question completely before answering it.
You may think you know where a question is going, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Also, chemistry questions often have multiple parts. Sometimes you can get hints how to work a problem by seeing where the question is going. Sometimes you can even find the answer to the first part of a question this way.
Answer questions you know.
There are two reasons for this. First, it build confidence, which helps you relax and improves your performance on the remainder of the test. Second, it gets you some quick points, so if you run out of time on the test then at least you got some right answers. It may seem logical to work a test from the beginning to the end. If you are confident that you have time and know all the answers, this is a good way to avoid accidentally missing questions, but most students do better if they skip over harder questions and then go back to them.
Show your work.
Write down what you know, even if you don't know how to work the problem. This can serve as a visual aid to jar your memory or it can earn you partial credit. If you end up getting the question wrong or leaving it incomplete, it helps your instructor understand your thought process so you can still learn the material. Also, make sure you show your work neatly. If you are working out an entire problem, circle or underline the answer so your instructor can find it.
Don't leave blanks.
It's rare for tests to penalize you for wrong answers. Even if they do, if you can eliminate even one possibility, it's worth it to take a guess. If you aren't penalized for guessing, there is no reason not to answer a question. If you don't know an answer to a multiple choice question, try to eliminate possibilities and make a guess. If it's a true guess, choose "B" or "C". If it's a problem and you don't know the answer, write down everything you know and hope for partial credit.
Check your work.
Make sure you answered every question. Chemistry questions often provide means of checking your answers to make sure they make sense. If you are undecided between two answers to a question, go with your first instinct.

I usually do two passes through tests. First one is hammering down all the questions I know, second is getting all the ones I left behind.

There was nothing stopping you from posting the link without the black magic that is a URL tag.

You forgot how to type, I didn't post this

You don't know how to move the mouse cursor up, highlight the text, copy a link, and paste it in the post box, saying it was related to the current conversation, to which said advice looked horrible in the first place.

You did however know how to copy an insane unformatted wall of text and make yourself look like a spambot.

Stop making excuses. You know damn well you weren't going to edit that ♥♥♥♥.
And stop using saying you have an excuse to act retarded because you don't want to type correctly.

Let's establish one rule a day here for that grammar of yours, because I truly can't imagine that whatever you're doing is taking less time than whatever we're doing. The latter being speaking proper ♥♥♥♥ English.

Rule #1: You.

By implementing this rule your last post would have looked as following:

There, nicer already.
If you adhere to the aforementioned rule I will refrain from pointing out another flaw in your English for the next 24 hours.


Now go on, be a little 13 year old and make us proud.

First, you don't get to call people your friends just because you feel like it.

Two, friends do take friends seriously so.. there's that.

I hate when this happens, when people you've barely known for a while act like if they are in complete confidence with you. It's rather annoying.

It's like adding people as friends in games/social media/anything, that doesn't imply ♥♥♥♥ at all most of the time. Specially in the case of kids that go like "friend me pls".

Maybe some day people will understand the value of true friendship.
