It is very common among many students that they get sick or act like sick. They do not trust their abilities to do best in the exams.

Traditionally, written tests measure a person's knowledge of the subject. This is why students are afraid of tests because their scores determines not just their understanding but their social life. Yes, students are afraid because there are times they do not trust their own abilities. It is actually more than that. They will also think of what other people (parents) might say (social).\n\nPersonally, there are so many ways to measure a student's learning of a subject without inflicting a minor case of exam-phobia.

it is very normal for female students to behave in this manner when they see a young male teacher what they need at this stage is some  counselling and please as a professional one should not take advantage of the situation

take some sinus meds and do your best to get some sleep.  Unless you are running a fever or vomiting, you really shouldn't miss school.

I would of went up to the teacher and asked what you got. Maybe the teacher put yours in the wrong pile. Some people that sleep during class or dont study maybe bored in the class thats why they get awesome grades. Some may be just luck lol. I know when i took test i would study hard and be so nervous thinking i would forget something and mess up. Try to relax next time during a test. Dont be so nervous.

Problems at home is a, unfortunatly, big cause of it :(\n\nI hate saying that.  Also, lack of interest in the subject/course/class is a cause.  That lack can be caused by poor teaching where the student is not involved enough, to just not wanting to be there because it is *not cool*

To err is human, move on with your life, content in the knowledge you have learnt from the experience. The pressure on people at school to fit in, succeed, and get great grades is horrific, and you buckled under the temptation. You're stronger now for the experience, as Nietsche said 'that which does not kill us, makes us stronger'.

power goes to their head !!!!! we had a chemistry teacher in our very last semester of nursing school,who made it so hard (more than u ever use in actual nursing) that everyones average grade fell,most of us barely passed her class- and i had been on high honour roll for 4 years !!! she laughingly told us she liked to take everyone down a peg or two before we graduated.i got by,as my other grades were gr8,but for some,it put them in real jeapordy. i thought that was just plain mean and spiteful.she was a drinker,maybe that had something to do with it.amazing what u can get away with,once u have tenure !!!!

They may be new to you, but I remember seeing such exams when I was in college many years ago.  Such exams are very quick for the teacher to grade, since all the teacher need do is feed them to a special machine attached to the computer.  It is also assumed the machine grades more accurately than a human would, does not get tired, sick, lose track of things, or get bored.  And it makes a permanent record.\nOne big disadvantage is they don't make subtle answers easy.

I have often seen these mistakes go unchecked by the teachers at my daughter's school. When I asked why, I was told that the thoughts and emotions being expressed were more important than the manner in which they were expressed. I disagree. I cannot take a person seriously if they cannot spell and punctuate. I'm afraid I automatically assume they are stupid. Sorry!

I think that it is extremely important. People need to feel like it's OK to put themselves out there and make a mistake. It's impossible to learn anything without goofing up every once in a while. Creating this kind of environment boils down to one thing, respect. If you respect your students, and don't tolerate your other students disrespecting each other it will facilitate their learning.

Your teacher knows best. Oprah recently said that in many schools pupils are led to believe that they're doing well whereas in fact their level is awful. So she's just making sure that you can get the best of the best once you graduate, and she's preparing you as best as she can for that by making you work your utmost.

the school system itself is bad. they hate it when you make mistakes and they do not allow you to ask your friends for help during test.

In the healthcare professions this is known as 'student syndrome'.  The student often thinks they may have the disease being studied because 'they have all those symptoms too!"\n\nTalk to your mom.  Tell her exactly what you are saying here.  She will help you sort through it, and if needed, get you to the doctor to 'be sure' you are OK.\n\nBest wishes and good luck!

I don't live in Georgia, however I know the answer to this question.  Students don't realize this, but teachers are very stressed out around test time.  Though we are not physically taking the test, we know that your scores will reflect on us--well or poorly.
