I'm getting kind of nervous about my final exam coming up. It will be my first time having an online proctor.
I did pretty well on the first three graded exams & midterm, but I totally bombed the 4th exam (67%). I'm going through the review now and it doesn't seem to bad.
Can anyone tell me how intense the exam is? More like the review questions or more like the exams?
Also, any extra resources/videos you used to prepare or better understand the class? I feel pretty comfortable with most of the material but I really missed something big there at the end. I'd like to brush up a bit before Monday! (Not looking for cheating materials. I want to understand what it's trying to teach me.)
Goal: Anything. Just need the paper.

Final only worth 30% of your grade and its open book final exam.
With SL you never know what to study because their questions are always very specific. You could read their book 10 times and never know what the answers are without looking them up. That is my experience.
All you can do is review the previous exams, everything else is a waste of time.

You'll be fine.
You have about 619 (maybe 620) out of total 700 points so far.
You need 700/1000 (70%) overall.
If you can obtain (at least) 81/300 points (27%) on your final, you are good to go.
Good luck

That's true. I was just trying to get a better understanding of the material. The part I struggled with the most was contract law and that's pretty useful info to have.
The other hard part was the UCC stuff. Ugh. lol

I was a bit nervous going into the SL Business Law final too, but I ended up surprising myself with a 100% on the final exam and didn't even need to use the book. Of course, I spent the entire day leading up to the exam studying my notes, prior exams, and vocab/concept flashcards to prep.
Study up to the start of the exam and go in feeling confident so you can do your best. Stress and self-doubt will only make you second-guess yourself.
