I'm the type of person that is always there for my friends because I would be offended if they didn't show the same respect for me, I would try to study for the test for a little bit, and then help your friend, and then explain to your teacher tomorrow that you're really sorry but you didn't get a chance to study because you had a friend in need of your help but you'll make up the test as soon as you possibly can. Good luck with that.. hope I helped. -Angel [ Anq3L_xO's advice column | Ask Anq3L_xO A Question ]

Depends on your friend actually. There's a big difference between helping a friend who is having a really bad week and one who is considering suicide.
Yes both are important and should be helped, but certain situations change things a bit. If it is serious, then help your friend. If not and it could wait a bit, study for the test. If this is a test that will basically make or break the passing grade, then please follow up on studying.
This is one of those decision/responsibility things people face in their lives. It is a challenge, a great one. We are confronted with them constantly. I would say study, but I'll leave it to you to decide what situation you are in and your friend is in. Hope that helped and good luck. [ HectorJr's advice column | Ask HectorJr A Question ]

MHScutie87 answered Monday October 9 2006, 8:15 pm: I would help out the friend in need. If you don't have time to study after doing what you need to do, you can try talking to your teacher. Usually teachers are very understandable, and if you explain your situation, you can probably reschedule it.
thelaura answered Monday October 9 2006, 7:36 pm: Depends how important the test is. If your grade really mattered, eg, for later on in life, test should come first.
But also, it does depend on what happened to your friend.
Anyway, there's always time for both, so needing to put one of them off shouldn't be an option. Help your friend and then go and study!
Hope all works well. :) [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
MelLeDisko answered Monday October 9 2006, 7:23 pm: Well if it was me, if my friend really needed help with something and needed me, I would choose them over studying. There's always time later to study for a test, but a friend needs their friend sooner and needs their help.
