Skipping exam/class for superday

Situation is this: 3 exams(1 tuesday, 2 wednsday) and 1 project(pretty much an exam). I have a superday this friday and saturday so I'm expecting to be gone the whole day due to flying, travelling, interviewing, etc. Right now, I'm trying to set my priorities straight so I'm focusing primarily on the superday. My question is this, am I right in prioritizing the superday and not my school work. I've always been a good student but I really just want the job. Might try and skip one of my exams and re weight to the final....

If you have always been a good student, go for the superday, and then just study your ass off for the final. You don't want to pass up a superday just for an exam.

The reason you are getting an education is to land a job afterwards - talk to you professor about it and i'm sure you'll be fine.

 

Do not ask a bank to reschedule for your Superday. That just doesn't work (or if it has for someone, I would love to hear about it).

Could you talk to a teacher and explain the circumstances?

I could try. My worry is that my superday is the weekend, but my test is Tuesday. Might try and just force me. Other option is that I can just reweight to final

 

Welcome to banking kiddo. You chase multiple rabbits, you are not given any extra time, and the result is expected to be flawless. This is your real test.

 

If Superday is Friday (or Saturday, which I guess could happen), then in theory you would have Sunday and Monday to study for exam.

That being said, talk with your professor to see if you can get an extra day or two. If not, then....

Another issue you can run into this time of the year is multiple Superdays on the same day, which is whole other discussion...

It's definitely worth it to talk to the professors, that is, sit down in their office hours face-to-face and talk with them. If your grades and participation have been good I would be shocked if they didn't help play ball, such as take the exam early etc.

If they aren't supportive just go to the Superdays anyways. Absolutely do not reschedule those interviews, don't even think about it.

Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes.
