<p>Everytime I think I'm going get perfect on a test, I usually end up with like low 80's because I make stupid mistakes. I then slap myself lol</p>
<p>Well, if I have a feeling that I failed . . . I DID fail.</p>
<p>"blah I'm total opposite...I'm that sad type-"I KNOW I JUST FAILED THAT OMG OMG OMG!" and then "I CANT GET THIS BACK! NOOOO!""</p>
<p>Yeah, same here. Except for that one time. However, most times, when I TRULY think I failed, I do fail.</p>
<p>There have been many instances where my scores were better than I expected - and I truly do appreciate those moments. Once I thought I bombed a physics exam and a lab quiz, turns out I got A's on both of them. ^_^</p>
<p>Haha, blame the stupid mistakes. But you know the unavoidable truth is that it's much harder to make stupid mistakes when you know the material backwards and forwards (talking math mostly here) than when you only understand the concepts... </p>
<p>Yup. Recently. It was just a small Chem test, and I thought I'd made a perfect or close (reasonable assumption, my test average was a high A). And then I get it back and it's a D+. It's like... ***. And my mistakes were misreading the questions, ADDITION errors, and significant figures... but I guess the last one is my fault, I apparently didn't understand those as well as I thought... dropped my grade 3%, so now I'm working extra hard on labs!</p>

sooooooo not true</p>
<p>I'm also a pessimist when it comes to test grades. I always finish the test thinking that I bombed it, mostly because I hardly ever study, and then it would turn out that I got like a 93. :P</p>
<p>nope never</p>
<p>It's so depressing when you think you think you did great, but then you get a bad grade. It makes me want to cry sometimes.</p>
<p>I usually think I failed, but do well.
But when I do think I did well.. I do horrible.
I'm just a horrible judge of my guessing skills</p>
<p>AP Calculus does that to me all the time. :(</p>
<p>happened to me on a calc test</p>
<p>happened last week :\ on a calc bc test</p>
<p>im the other way around lol</p>
<p>lol i guess this happens to a lot of people in ap calc. </p>
<p>happened to me on calc test this tuesday. We had Wednesday off, and Thursday was thanksgiving, so I was just planning out what I would do during thanksgiving on calc test lol. I also slept for 10 mins, just b/c the test was so boring and i wanted to get out of school. </p>
<p>I didn't get any sleep the night before studying for my bio test (which I got an A), and I didn't study at all for the calc test since I thought I had the stuff down. I totally bombed the test. :( it was very important test too. my grade probably went down to a B.</p>
<p>Not quite...but I did get a B (Asian-failing) once on a AP Stats test when I thought I aced it, so that's close enough.</p>
<p>Math tests are like that. I finished a 2 page Cal test in 45 minutes, thought I aced it, and then realized that I was the only one done in the whole class. </p>
<p>A good portion of the kids in my class read the math book, have already taken Cal at the comm. college, and generally rock at math. After it took the smartest kids another 30 minutes, I came to the conclusion that I failed. miserably.</p>
<p>Ha... I NEVER think that I did well on Calc tests. I honestly have no idea how I pass them... I never have any idea about whether or not I did a question correctly, yet I somehow ended up with an A. That will probably change any day now.</p>
<p>I thought I did really well on the SAT... all of the answers that I checked on CC I got correct. Yet somehow I ended up with scores that were far below what I had expected. =(</p>
