Good luck
To all still taking tests.
Open question. I've taken a lot of tests in my life. Some of them I've screwed up spectacularly just because of the day or whatever. Do you think they're worth taking? I know the fear of test is the only way to get some people to learn the material, and is a very effecive way to get people interested. At the same time, for some things it seems somewhat useless, like in Comp Sci, where a few projects would seem to be a better measure of the computer scientist.
Thoughts?
