Why are engineering/science exams always so early. We already have 22 hour weeks so it'd make sense to give us more time after semester ends to prepare, no?

Just got two 8:45am exams, five days apart. First one in a little over two weeks.

Exams are what separates those who leech off others throughout the year to those who actually put in the hard work.

Good think astronomy has an online exam so I can continue leeching off others even during exams

The astronomy final exam is actually harder than the semester quizzes. Most questions can't be found by a simple google search (unlike the semester quizzes). I spent the entire 1.5 hours doing the 20 questions - and it paid off.

Naivety and complacency are what destroyed many in the final exam. Don't fall into that trap.

Thanks for the advice =) Does everyone get the same exam?

Yes, but I'm pretty sure the questions are in different order. You see one question at a time (so unlike the quizzes where you could see many questions on the same page). I can't remember if you're allowed to go back to change your answer, so be wary of that.
