Dr. Schech's Exam Style

Dr. Schech's exams are difficult, borderline impossible, and require more conceptual understanding and memorization than other professors. She often applies "what-if" environments that are not realistic in real life. It's no surprise her exam averages are low.
Most exams are designed for students to finish or answer accurately, but not BOTH at the same time.
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.
