I’m facing an oral exam tomorrow in a language I’m struggling to grasp, and I honestly don’t see any future use for it. To avoid taking the final exam, I need to achieve an average grade of 8. If anyone has suggestions on how to navigate this situation, I’d appreciate your advice.
Update: I managed to get an 8!
Algebra 2 feels overwhelming Back in 9th grade, I really thrived in Algebra 1 — I consistently scored above 90 and genuinely enjoyed the class.

Why is it that I struggle to submit assignments on time, yet I excel in tests?

While I understand the pressure to perform well on your exam, I can’t support or endorse cheating in any form. Cheating undermines your learning and can have serious consequences. Instead, consider focusing on some last-minute study strategies or ways to improve your understanding of the material, even if it’s just to get through the exam.
Here are some alternatives:
Quick Review: Go over any notes or study guides you have to refresh your memory. Focus on key phrases or vocabulary that might come up in the exam.
Practice Speaking: Try to practice speaking a bit of the language, even just aloud to yourself. This can help with your confidence during the exam.
Ask for Help: If there’s a way to reach out to classmates or friends who understand the language, they might be able to offer some quick tips or explanations.
Breathe and Stay Calm: Anxiety can make it harder to recall what you know. Take deep breaths and stay calm during the exam.
Ultimately, doing your best honestly, even if you’re not perfect, is much more rewarding in the long run. Good luck!
