Portrait of a Procrastinator

Friend who has completed law school: So, how do you feel about the 100% exams in the spring?

What I said: Well, I think all you can do is learn for the sake of learning, of really knowing your stuff, and treat the exam as the chance to prove what you know. I mean, all exams (and assignments) add up to 100% anyway, right? I suppose it becomes harder to gauge how you're doing, but again, if you're really applying yourself, I think you'll have a good sense of how you're doing, just from how well you understand and navigate the material.

What I thought: Cool! No December exams!!

EDIT: It turns out that there are December exams - but they don't count for anything. Like a dry run.
