Did you ever get test burned out when you were in school or college?

Question

RingOfFire · Accepted Answer

I went to the highest rated college in the world in my field. The competition was intense. There were times when we would literally study around the clock 24 hours in a row without sleep.

I later learned that they designed the tests so that no matter how hard you study it won't help you. They were designed to see how well you could think, not how well you could memorize or learn things from books.

If they gave the standard exam that they give students in other schools everyone would get an A+. These were the smartest students from around the world. The amazing thing was that the exams weren't necessarily even about the same things they were teaching in the class. They might have been about the same topic, but not examples similar to the ones that were taught. They simply could not give exams like that because everyone would get 100% on them. These kids were geniuses.

So I started studying a lot less and meditating before exams instead. It served me well when I ended up graduating with honors.

Yeah very much so, a mix of studying, doing an exam or assignment, then same for another module. At times you had to remind yourself which exam it was or if doing a detailed assignment not to put in stuff belonging to another assignment you were doing lol.

Yes I just started cheating bc I was over the bs tests. I was burned out in college bc the tests were back to back. In k-12 - it was more spaced out.

No. But then I never stressed over tests and did little to no studying for them. It was just another day of class for me.

Yes, I always thought that planning exams in all 5 courses in the same week was not very conducive to the educational process. I used to just spend the day cramming for the test and immediately forget all the stuff to make room for more stuff in a different course.

Yes. Comprehensive tests are the worst. I went through college of engineering. Finals week was a shit show. I had Electrical Circuits 2, Calculus 3, and Physics for Engineering fully comprehensive back to back to back.
That was exhausting. They let us take in one sheet of hand written notes. Luckily I studied hard and wrote everything super small using a 5mm mechanical pencil.

All the time 🙄 I studied and studied till my brains turned to mush. I think it's difficult but there needs to be a balance of work vs reward. You need to take meaningful breaks in-between studying so that went you go back to studying you are more effective with it and less likely to burn out but time management is so important with school. You could even Google a video about time management relating to studying

NathanDavis · Answer

No, but at Windsor's St. College college in the late 70's there was a chap we called (even his girlfriend) "Burnout Brad" because he was a total burnout who'd sit in the lobby and never seem to go to class.
