Engineer major here, why the FUCK are they so hard? It is literally the most stressful anxiety inducing thing I have ever experienced. My entire life future put in an hour time frame. I don’t understand how people actually ace these things. Im smart but the anxiety and bad nerves these tests give me turn me into a mumbling retard.

Better than studying a meme liberal arts major like business administration

Because you're going to be engineering shit that actually matters, so they make sure you know your stuff such that you'll be competent at your job.
Basic office job degrees matter less so, anyone can do them especially with AI guiding them now

the traditional, heavily moderated, exam hall test is literally the only valid measure of a person's academic virality. A 100% equal setting. No advantages, no tools, no internet to plagiarise, no AI, same time available to all candidates. Just you, your brain, the test paper and a pen. An exam result is the closest thing an employer could ever get to seeing your real competence.

A piece of coursework submitted by a student in this day an age will be re-written AI slop, and even before AI, regurgitated research from other academics.

If Stacy produced an 'excellent' piece of coursework over the course of an semester, with multiple revisions, guidance from other academics and hundreds of hours of reading, and Johnnie managed to achieve the same quality in one evening, who would you want to hire? Who is more competent? Of course Johnnie is, but the grade wont show that, because (((coursework))) is equalising, marxist trash. It allows the smoothbrains to spend 3 months on achieving the same grade you can get in one energy-drink-fuelled all nighter. Fuck that shit.

Exams are based and redpilled.

They're hard because college as an institution was never intended for you. These used to serve as filters, but as the college model evolved more like a business where putting people on the degree treadmill for as long as possible is favored over education, they had to lower standards to keep the most treadmills operating.
This isn't to say you're stupid, 98% of people that went to college never should have. Although being smart would have prevented your current situation. You can also use one of the copes like "test anxiety" if you want to feel better about yourself.

Pretty much this.

I dont like this framing that you need an IQ of 130+ to go through college handily. Ive struggled but still passed most of my classes, and Im a senior so Ill be graduating soon..im just saying the exams are fuckin hard.
Maybe anxiety isnt the full picture. i believe i have ADHD so I need some stimulants to help me work efficiently. I plan to get those soon.

>130+
If you can't get through the college courses of today with a 100 IQ and handle tests without failing, then you deserve to fail.
Not everybody can or SHOULD get straight A's you fucking retard. Tests are SUPPOSED to show the differences between those who understand the material and those who don't.
Unless the test is unfairly written or covers shit that comes out of left field, you don't have a fucking excuse.
COLLEGE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FOR EVERYBODY YOU FUCKING IDIOT

>NOOO I CAN'T SIT STILL FOR 90 MINUTES AND TAKE A TEST
>I JUST CAN'T
>I CAN'T OKAY? IT'S NOT FAIIIIIRRRRRR
Holy shit how fucking useless are you? Grow up

>>534804623
the people who ace exams understand the material at a fundamental level which is the goal

>>534810085
>graduating soon
how's the job search going

>>534812920
They just get answers from questions from previous grads in past promotions LOL alongside the most relevant parts of the curricula

when i was in school that was the case for several courses but the questions were changed enough to trip up people studying off old exams
