Praying your way through exams. . .

When all else fails you can always take the approach of St. John of Cupertino who apparently struggled through seminary because he was not a very good academic student and had a hard time studying. So, before he wrote exams he would just focus on studying a portion of the material covered in the courses and pray that the exam questions would all pertain to what he had studied. Apparently it worked for him. He's definitely a well known saint among Catholic students preparing for exams.

O Great St. Joseph of Cupertino who while on earth did obtain from God the grace to be asked at your examination only the questions you knew, obtain for me a like favour in the examinations for which I am now preparing. In return I promise to make you known and cause you to be invoked.

Through Christ our Lord.

St. Joseph of Cupertino, Pray for us.

Amen.
