It’s always a negative!

This week is a week of laziness and returned tests. Spent quite a bit of time playing RF Online, its a pretty nice game. The quest system has it’s good and bad parts. The fighting system is pretty standard. What is nice is the macro system, which I really haven’t done much with cept setup auto potions, so I don’t have to remember to drink’m.
But I digress. I got my programming test back, got an A like i suspected. I should have gotten a higher A, but an A’s an A right? However, got my calc test back, got a 73 as i suspected I would get, however he curved so i got a B insted. I know I shouldn’t complain, but I’m going to. This jackass really erks me off. I lost 4 points because I didn’t put information down that the problem didn’t state to put on there, WTF? I also lost a bunch of points because I had the correct information down, but apparently i didn’t put the correct correct information down.. What a fuck, most teachers if you have the correct answers down but you have one extra and don’t specify, they might take 1 point of, now this ass whole takes almost 1/2 the points off. Now my grade wasn’t all his fault. I punched some stuff into my calc and wrote it down w/o thinking, even though i did think about it, but at the time my thought was that it was correct. Which it was not, and when i got it back i was like, WTF you stupid fuck what the fuck is your problem, are you stupid or something? Uggh so pissed at him and myself. I’ll be glad when this semester is over and I can look to brighter and better classes.

So I’m sitting here, not able to sleep, thinking about how could that test have gone better. You know, as many if not everyone knows, standard tests are balls when it comes to testing your knowledge on a subject. I’m living proof of that. I can teach people about said subject, but I will fail a test hands down. I have narrowed down my failure to one simple thing. I cannot catch mistakes while taking the test. However after the test, they poke out like sore thumbs. Yeah, so their’s ink marking said mistake, but I generally look at it and i’m like, OMG WTF, your so dumb how could you do that. Many times its as simple as not copying something down right from part A to part B, or I completely fubar it, and i look at it and am amazing how i couldn’t have caught that. So why don’t more teachers allow students to go over their tests after the test, correct mistakes and let the teacher check it again. Maybe not even mark it, maybe a day later give the test again for a fraction of the time, just enough to check it over for mistakes again with a fresh look. I mean, how many times have you heard people say, walk away and come back later and you’ll see your problem. Same with everything, why can’t you do that with a test? Some people, like me, just can’t see their errors right away. Grawww! Just upsets me.
