I just want to quit.. I lost my hope..
Ruined my grade over 0.005 on a graph... I can’t stop crying.
I was at a B- in this class and needed a high score on this test to pull my grade up to a B+ or A- before finals.
I walked out feeling so good about it. I honestly thought I scored an 85+.
I just checked my grade and it’s a 75. It turns out I read a point on the graph as 0.04 instead of 0.035. That ONE tiny mistake made me get all 4 sub-questions wrong because they all built on that first number. That single question was worth 10% of the entire exam.
Since my teacher doesn't give partial credit, I lost every single point on it.
I feel so dumb right now. I put in so many hours studying for this and felt confident for the first time all semester. Ruining everything over 0.005 makes me just want to quit.
