I don't need no stinking signature!

Most likely the last tests of the school semester, which would be around now.

The last test for a class. They all come within a week of each other usually, hence finals

A cumulative exam at the end of an educational course that causes people to lose sleep and friends.

I am assuming direct control.

It's a long test at the end of a semester that covers all the material taught. They take hours to finish and require many nights of studying.

I hate them.

OP - You're a dumbass with the reading comprehension skills of a second grader.


Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

It only took me an hour of studying and about 30 minutes to finish each of my midterms. I got an A in 5/6 of them. I got a B in the practical one where there was no practice beforehand.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Pretty much this.

"But I do not think we're invincible"

A final is an exam administered at the end of a school term, usually worth a large part of one's grade, that aims to assess how much the students have learned and retained over the course. They can be cumulative or not, and their exact value and procedure varies from class to class. Indeed, some classes do not have them at all.

"Finals" refers to the time of year (usually a week or two) during which students prepare for and take final examinations.
