Thank you for your advice Baktrax, although it didn’t really help me. Most professors have some type of discernible pattern to their questions. This guys is just complete and utter fruit cake of a wild card when it comes to his questions and even trying to guess what he would ask would be a waste of time. I appreciate you taking the time to provide me with your thoughts however.

My test is on Monday. I’ve resolved to try and push away my anxieties and despair regarding my past performance and try and do my best. I’ve prepared an outline of key concepts and will practicing problems with vigor.

One thing that I haven’t given any weight too is the wacko way he grads his exam. 85% of the exam is closed book, while the other 15% is open book. Out of that 85%, one part is worth more points than the other. Perhaps I spend more of my efforts on the part worth the most points, perhaps my exam score will be higher than if I tried to tackle the entire monstrosity with the same effort as a whole. I guess I’ll see if this strategy works on Monday.
