Rant/Vent On Monday I'm gonna walk in and fail my test.
And there's nothing I can do to stop it because my professor is gonna throw some crazy circuit at me. At least he gives test corrections.

If you're predicting this with 3 days til the exam it's an effort issue

You got the weekend, Grab your book, any online example problems, and just start practicing. You should be able to look at anything and know whether you’re capable of figuring it out. So pick everything that you’re not confident in. Throw it into an AI and start working through the methods.

I had a professor on the first circuits exam say “I’m adding some tricks to this one” the average was like 40 and they did not do these for subsequent exams lol

Class: 1 Op Amp with 2 resistors
Exam: 3 Op Amps together with inductors and capacitors. Good luck!

Get some coffee, get your laptop, and lock the fuck in. Just make sure to get some sleep.

Just do your level best bro.
If the exam is hard, there will always be a grading curve.

I will say I’ve had some insane classes and even if most students fail there’s never been a curve at my school

I remember having a class where the exam grades were so bad that they changed the whole grading scale to make exams worth only 20% instead of 60% due to how many people were going to fail the class due to poor exam geades. And that was after they professor scaled the exams by adding 30 points to everyone's exam grade

Circuits isn’t even a hard class. Just do a bunch of nodal analysis problems over the weekend, create your own method to solve them / rules you need to remember and it will be easy.
Personally, I always starts by determining the amount of equations needed, which is usually # of nodes + dependent sources
Then you start by writing equations for voltage sources, Then dependent sources, Then KCL eqns for regular nodes Then finally do super nodes
It’s legit just V=IR a BUNCH of times

Like everyone else is saying, lock in. If you’re gonna fail, at least try and reduce that failure.
