so i have a huge western civ test on tuesday and i just started studying today. but here's the thing- ive done none of the homework for the class- its all assigned readings, so theres no proof that i havent done any work, but i am trying to do it all now & dont think it will all get done in time. BUT I NEED A GOOD GRADE ON THE EXAM! Please help me. Is there anything I can do to ensure I can get at least a C???

You could get off the computer, make note cards, and study them.

Yes, if you havn't done the reading then you won't do well on the test. Your odds are better if it's multiple choice, but if it's essay you probably won't have a chance.
You could get some crib notes and study that. Maybe your local book store has some books on the subject. Those are easier to learn from because the information is condensed.
The last option is to sit next to someone who is pretty smart and get a glance at there paper. I wouldn't suggest that though.
Good luck on the test and start reading and only take short breaks. If you do that, I think you will get a C atleast.

Read until your eyes cross. Not much else you can do.
Here's a tip for the exam though - whatever you write, make sure it's in good English. Looks like you've got a good grip on the language anyway, so as long as you read every sentence back to yourself to make sure it sounds interesting it might be ok. If you write fluently, the marker will notice your lack of knowledge a bit less.
And learn the lesson for next time... I'm not going to scold because I don't think I EVER read any assigned readings before the day of the exam, but go do it now and stop messing round on here, addictive as it may be. Turn the computer off!

That's easy, for a class of this sort, which only assigns readings, usually the tests r based on the readings. Just try to catch up on all the readings, make sure to read through all the defs. in the ch. assigned & make general ch outline/study guides for each ch. I've had classes like these, I've found I get an A or B, just by reading the ch. before the tests. Good luck! =)

You said the test is on Tuesday, right? Well, make a plan to cover "x" number of pages/chapters or certain events in a set amount of time. Study inbetween classes on monday, until the second the teacher starts talking, during lunch, and pretty much any time you have at all. It's gunna be hard, but you can do it! Hope I helped atleast a lil'

The proof that you have NOT done the reading comes when you tank on the test ! Are you joking ? Short of being a psychic, you might consider the lesson learned about the cost of slacking a valuable one.
But maybe you can get lucky if it is multiple choice.
What the heck, most people fail a test sooner or later.
no biggie

glance at each paragraph and take the main subject of it and write it down. Do this to all you were suppose to read. Good Luck.

Probably not. You reap what you sow. Why the heck are you wasting time on this board instead of studying???

A few old adages come to mind:
You get what you give.
Nothing in life comes easy.
The early bird gets the worm.
Preparation is the key to success.
Shall I go on......?
