My mark on my math exam was in the 50's even though when i was doing it i thought i would get a decent grade (i've been preparing for it for weeks) Has that ever happened to anyone else?

  1. who cares


  2. No, it's the opposite for me. I always thought I was going to do terrible, but it seems I underestimate my own genius.

    I'm better than you. I'm smarter, prettier, more talented, and my overall human value is higher than yours. You and all the other inferiors will be eradicated in the eugenics wars of 2050.

  3. lol when i was in high school almost every test in math was like that

  4. Yep happened to me all the time in college especially with Anatomy. But i made it and and got my degree.

  5. The SAME thing happens to me.

    I work so so so hard for my math exams and to no avail, I receive a D or a F. It makes me so frustrated. But, don't give up, you can always do well on the next exam :).

  6. NEVER I AM THE ULTIMATE

  7. OMG! YEAH! i thought i did great on my ss exam, but it turned out - i missed 12 questions... CMON!

  8. Yes I have. I almost think that I recieved the wrong test. It

    pisses me off.

  9. YEAAAAAHHH!!!!

    that happened to me all the time in my bio class!

    some i wouldn't even pass!

    but then i would just say, THIS IS SPARTA!

    and move on..

    JK!

  10. i know exactly what you mean i had this one science test that i THOUGHT i knew all of the answers to b ut i guess not!!!!! i totally bombed the test and my parents got soo pissed off!!!!!

  11. yes i took a algebra test thought i got a 100 and ended up getting a E on it.:{

  12. Yeah, i thought i did great on a graph of mine cause i graped it right had had the right info and used pencil and was waiting for the mark for months, turns out i just passed it. Like i thought i didn't mess up typing this the first time round...

  13. HAHAHAH that actually happened on my last algebra exam, i was going through it thinking 'man this is easy' then apparently i got a big fat E

  14. Yah, I asked the teacher and she ran it through the machine again and was impressed. It was a scantron mistake. I really have and A-.

  15. YES! I HATE it when that happens! It seems to happen quite a lot. Thats why people say that its bad news if you think it was too easy or too hard.

  16. yes, but its at worst only in the 60s.

    but when i think i did bad, i end getting ike 95..

    so now i jst be pessimestic and always think i'll do bad.

  17. It happens to the best of us

    Just put more effort into studying find a strategy that can really help

  18. ohmygoshhh!

    it happens to me like on everrrry test(:haha

    it was math too and i was like oh this is easyyyy!

    but when i got it back i got like a 60%(:bahahahaha

  19. Oohhh yes. Loads of times. That's why right after I finish taking the dreadful test, I clear out my mind and forget about it completely, until my grades come up.

  20. Yeah, quiet a few actually. Some times ive done exams where I thought I aced it with almost 100% only to find out I actually scored < 50% :(.

  21. Yes. many times. thats why i gave up studying.

  22. Yes, I think it actually happens to everyone. But don't worry, you can always catch up, re-do the class or get a better grade in another exam in this class! Good luck :-)

  23. yea this happens like all the time

    i have to test out of a text book

    and its terrible one semester ill get

    95% the next ill get like 50% who knows

    why this happends all i know is its annoying!

  24. i am in a level 2 english class which is about average and if u are a really good writer u go in level 1. for my final exam in english we had to write a romeo and juliet paper.. i had my best friend write it for me because i needed to bring up my grade she has no problem and said ya. she said it should be an A plus paper because in her level 1 class she got all As and she was the best student in her classs... to find out today i got a 78 on that paper i have no idea how because that paper would have gotten an A in a level 1 class. i read over the paper she wrote multiple times and it was GREAT...... the whole thing is dumb and it only brought down my grade it pisses me off so much. i just emailed my teacher and she is getting a piece of my mind

  25. i dont go terrible in things i think i did well in, then again i dont think 50's is terrible, just not very good.

    sometimes it goes the other way though

  26. Yes, it happens to everyone.  Just don't let it get you down it's only one grade in school it's not going to define you.

  27. Ya that happened to me in chemistry all the time, every time i thought I did good I did bad and everytime I thought I did bad i did good, I don't know why but its weird.

  28. yeah!!

    it seams like whenver you think you did terrible, you do great. and whenever you think you did great, you do terrible!

  29. It happens to everyone. I have studied for one test for like hours non-stop and for weeks and the results was that I had a D :(.

  30. Totally yes! I thought i did so good on an exam-like an a atlest no less and it turned out being c+ and i retook it thinking A+ but a B+

  31. yea all the time.. i thnk i comes 4rm studying the wrong material..i jus stopped studying lol
