Re: Forgot exam date, make up excuse or take it?
Take it the next morning
reasoning:
you haven't been to class in about a month: likelihood of professor letting you get away with excuse = 60% (if it's a really good excuse)
Expected Grade if you take exam at 10:30 = 75
Expected grade if you postpone exam = 95
Utility associated with 75 = -20
Utility associated with 95 = +25
Utility associated with 0 = -90
Suck it up >=< Make Excuse
(-20)1 >=< (+25)(.40)+(-90)(.60)
-20 > -44
Looks like you'll be unhappy either way, but i say suck it up and take it in the morning
