MIssing an Exam

Your anxiety and especially procrastination does not stop me from judging you.
The fact you think that's an excuse makes me judge you anymore.


Regardless, college is a scam so I have no issue with people cheating the system, so do your first plan. Telling a doctor "Uh, give me a free pass because I didn't study and am rightly anxious and regretful for not studying" is probably going to just make them laugh at you.
Say your elbow feel funny or whatever other bullshit you got and say nothing about your test.

Also find out if your teacher requires a specific note at all if you can do so without directly asking. At my school so long as the bill has a date and time on it, which most do, you can just show the bill as proof of going. Otherwise just make sure you tell the doc you need some sort of note to miss class. I wouldn't mention the test.

Also if you academic future really is important to you, then fucking get your shit together, kick your own ass into gear or accept the consequences.

Very cold dude, but thanks for the advice. I suppose you're on the side of "there's no such thing as people with psychological issues, only lazy people" of things, but that's a whole other topic. Option 1 it is.

This is legit advice and I wholeheartedly agree.

48 hours is a lot of time before the exam. Assuming you're smart and resourceful, you should be able to cram enough to get a C at least. If you've been attending class and discussion sections, you should at least be able to pull of a B from 48 hours of cramming.

The first thing you should do is check to see if there is any practice exams or copies of the last exam from other years. If there are, learn how to do every problem on that exam. If you don't know how to do one, look it up in your textbook or online. If there's no practice test, learn what material/units your test is going to cover. Devote your first day to learning the first half, and your second day to learning the second half.

I'm assuming you've been assigned homework in the class. Go back and look through the homework you probably didn't do. See what types of problems were listed in the homework and learn how to solve them. You don't need to solve every one, you just need to learn how to solve that type of problem.

Don't bother faking an illness to skip the test. You're probably just going to procrastinate more and get an equally bad grade when you take it later.

Also, what math class is it? I've taken a decent amount of math and I might be able to give you tips or answer any questions about it.

Can't really tell you which choice to make, apart from, as has been said before, a doctor would quite possibly just laugh and tell you to piss off. I can't see what risk of disciplinary/legal consequences of trying to defraud the system would be, but I wouldn't want to rule out that chance.

What I do want to tell you is to, after this is all said and done one way or another, go to your university counsellor and tell them exactly what you told us about your anxiety and procrastination issues as this is probably one of the more common problems they would get, and they have the resources and experience to give you the mental tools to help yourself out of this.

Also, if your academic future is truly important to you, follow >>18101516 advice

Nah bro, psychological issues exist. they just aren't valid excuses. They aren't your crutch. They aren't your "get out of jail free card". They, like everything else, is just something you have to figure out how to live with.
I've got ADD. I totally know about psychological issues and learning disabilities.
But you know what, I'm an A/B student despite the ADD. I get my shit together, and work harder than anyone else in my class to get the same grades. Is it unfair? Yeah. That's fucking life though. Whining and trying to tell my teachers "B-but my ADD made it so I couldn't focus on my homeworrrkkkk" doesn't solve anything. My teachers still have a job to do, and they can't cater their whole teaching to meet me and my small problem that I can easily just fix myself. It's not like I'm actually retarded.
Neither are you.

It's not entirely that you're lazy, though you certainly can be, you're just mad that you have to work 10x harder for the same results and want special treatment for it. But guess what, your bosses won't give you special treatment and if you fall behind on your deadlines, you'll get canned easy. Your bosses will not give a single fuck about your anxiety. They want profits, and if you aren't giving it to them, then they'll find someone who will.
