Dr. Schech's Exam Style

In the 4 years I've been tutoring her class, Dr. Schech has created all of her own questions and has never ONCE repeated a problem verbatim on any of her exams.
Dr. Schech loves to use Disney's Frozen and Marvel characters on her exams. This is not to entertain you, but they show her extra effort in creating challenging questions that make students cry, or want to cry, midway through their exams.
As a tutor, I've spoken with dozens of smart and hardworking students, who feel the need to drop Dr. Schech's class. Those same students end up being top of their class with more reasonable professors.
Even if you arrive at the correct answer during exams, you'll frequently second-guess your answer and start panicking, because the correct solution looks so weird and unrealistic.
