    Invent a time machine. Go back in time. Study.

    Failing that, learn from your mistakes, and next time… well… study.

      Went well I must say. I got circular queue program. Wrote the algorithm, then just wrote whatever functions were needed. I took the code online, complied it and wrote the output. Somehow passed it with good marks

      This. Its the most inportant step as its critical for memory recall. Too late to do anything else.

    Exam on xmas eve? Your instructor is a shitter. But regardless, you’re going to fail and that’ll be earned. Work harder next time.

      My guess is this is the makeup period, and OP managed to get an extension which means some poor TA is staying behind to proctor their lazy ass.

      In 20 years of academia, I have never once heard of a scheduled exam on Dec 24.

    #include <iostream> using namespace std;

    int main() { char procrastinated;

    cout << "Did you procrastinate? (y/n): ";
cin >> procrastinated;

if (procrastinated == 'y' || procrastinated == 'Y') {
    cout << "You procrastinated! Remember, study earlier next time to avoid the stress!" << endl;
} else {
    cout << "Good job staying on track! Keep it up!" << endl;
}

return 0;

    }

    Learn the algorithms. i.e. how the programs work. If you have the option, write those steps down in exams instead of studying the whole program.

    Always write something down. At least try. You get 0 points for blanks, so that can only improve, and you may know more than you think

    Take the course again, you already know some, so it should be easier to study more. Just don’t take it too many times, when I was in college there was a limit or 3-4 times you can take a course.
