Finals are unnecessary because we are already being tested in other ways!

We are not asking for the elimination of all finals, simply these specific ones. Our grade in the class should constitute our basic knowledge and understanding of the course. The majority of us are faced with STAAR exams and AP exams on top of our finals in other classes, limiting our ability to succeed on this final. If we do not succeed, it reflects poorly on not only us, but on our teacher and our school, creating the idea that we were inadequately prepared, when in fact, we were simply too stressed to perform to the best of our ability. We take the same exact course as the seniors do; therefore it is unfair to exempt the seniors from the exam, but not the underclassmen.

This is not an unreasonable request, especially for the harder classes. If this was asking to exempt every student from finals then it may be pushing it. If we meet all of the requirements the seniors do, then there is no good reason to make us take the final.

We take too many tests as it is. These tests do nothing but make keeping high grades more difficult.
