Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "pahr" (as in "park") + "SYAHL"/

Meaning

An exam that covers only a portion of the course material in Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico. Parcials break the semester into manageable chunks, fail enough of them and you're in trouble.

Examples

I have a midterm tomorrow and I haven't started studying.

I passed all my midterms this semester.

Regional synonyms

Randomly, without thinking it through, just going with whatever comes first. Doing something "al tuntún" means acting with no plan and trusting blind luck to sort it out. A risky approach, and people usually tell you not to do it this way.
