Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have your sim enroll in University. Choose a course that requires a final exam. Start the term and notice the class schedule as well as the "Days left in term" counter. As you play, you'll see that the notification "Cram for Exam" pops up on the day of this class but before the final day of class even though there are one or more scheduled class days left for that class and more days left in the term.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sims who are enrolled in a course that requires a final exam take that exam before the final day of classes even though there are one or more scheduled class days and "days left in term".
What do you expect to see? Final exams occurring on the final scheduled day of the class or at least on the final class day (for that specific course) according to the "days left in term" counter.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes

So, my Sim had a MWF class that required a final exam. I expected that the final exam would take place on the last scheduled day of class for that course - in this case on the final Friday. The final Friday of this course would've fallen within the amount of "days left in term" as indicated by the counter. When my Sim got up for class on Wednesday, I got a notification that their final exam was in an hour. There were two days left in the term according to the counter which I understood to mean that the term would end on Friday, making the final exam occur on Friday but my Sim went to class and took the exam on Wednesday instead. I'm not sure if this is because they enrolled in University on a specific day and that threw off the course calendar or not.
@MindyflyzI think this is just a timing issue rather than a bug. If it said that there were two days of class left on Wednesday morning, then those two days are Wednesday and Thursday, not 2 days from Wednesday. That counter changes either at midnight or sometime between midnight and 6AM. I think this one is midnight though (too many different times scheduled things happen in this game :D). So the 2 days started when the counter reset which was before your sim got up and the term ends at Thursday, midnight. Friday would be after the end of the term. It's sometime confusing but that's the way it appears to work. So your sim did take his exam on the last day of that class.
