I did something like that back in high school.

My calculus grade dropped from a 95% to a 87% after the final......

I got my teacher to not count it after we looked at the scantron and it was clear I miss bubbled.

[Anonymous No.2383337]

>>2383319
Indeed I saw it as a failure.

I think there was a mutual understanding though. I had an 96% until my abysmal 37% on the final. She didn't even keep the scantron test to see if she had used the wrong key.

It was only fair that she gave me the A

89% is the "Lowest grade I received" while in high school.

Teacher here:
You can make a tough-as-shit test using scantrons, but it won't let you see what the students are doing wrong. For math majors, they will try to learn from their mistakes on their own (find the errors).
For intro classes or general high school classes, teachers need to point out the errors so the students don't make it again.

I had a teacher Freshman year high school who gave the same test every year for 10 years. He said that

>"Everyone fails this test. It's normal. It's ok to fail tests, it doesn't mean you're not smart. I had a girl cry in my room because she wanted to be valadictorian and couldn't becuase she failed."

Took the test, multiple choice, 34%. WTF. I didn't score that low on my Spanish final. I retake it.

34% again. Look at the test, 1st third perfect, last 2 thirds FAIL. Ask for a answer key. I checked. Examples of "right" answers:

-Asteroid belt: between the earth and the moon
-Outer level of the sun: the core
-When tectonic plates pass each other they may cause: changes in weather patterns.

Turns out the last 2/3 of the test was switched around. He'd been giving the test for 10 freakin years. Approached him about it relentlessly even past the point where he threatened to call security because of my persistence. Until he read the test.

Fucker.

Since when do premeds take "joke" science classes? All med schools require at least one year of physics, biology, gen chem, organic chem, and calculus. They have no motivation to take a class like "intro to astronomy" unless they're actually interested in the material considering that a successful premed will have completed all their science and math GERs by the end of their freshman year.
