<p>I was absent for a test in AP world.
People had been telling me what the essay question was on the test
up to the week I was going to make it up.
So I had an idea on my mind about what it was going to be.
I went in to take the test and the essay prompts they told me about
were right on the test.
Little did I know, that the teacher had changed a small detail in the question,
invalidating my essay altogether. ( I basically wrote about the wrong thing)
I talked to her and I was told not to ask my peers about the essay before
making up a test anymore because he always changed the essay prompts.
(I had written my essay on the topic that the other students had written about.)
I got an F on that essay. I have a C in that class.
Is it even possible to get that C back up by the end of the semester in Jan?
(It's a 79.) and I just feel so uncomfortable with going back into that class
and seeing the teacher and everything.
I broke down during Bio class b.c. i couldn't hold it in.
I think the teacher hates me and that makes me extremely uncomfortable.
Thanks for reading.</p>
<p>I’m confused…why didn’t you read the question before you wrote the essay?</p>
<p>Seriously, why didn’t you read the essay prompt??</p>
<p>Wait… did getting an F on your test significantly worsen your health? No? Then I don’t think your life is over.</p>
<p>wow. it <em>is</em> your fault, but still, that sucks. I’m sorry. A lot of people spurt out info even if you don’t ask for it.</p>
<p>Smart teacher, though, and I bet this isn’t the first time this has happened. Try not to feel negative toward the class or you won’t improve– ask the year above you to see about how many more tests there are in the semester and calculate if it’s still possible to get an A if you ace each test. Don’t skip class. If the teacher sees you doing your best, she’ll stop… being as skeptical about you. Talk to her again after school some day and sincerely apologize (mean it… it sort of is your fault).</p>
<p>Yeah, I have to agree with that ^, ^^. </p>
<p>Well, it`s possible, if you work really hard. A girl last year who took WHAP said she failed every test and got an A because there are so many other buffer grades, at least for my class.
I`d recommend never listening to your classmates about something like that again, and reading the prompt next time.</p>
<p>All the other prompts had been the prompts that my friends had told me about, and I basically <em>skimmed</em> the question and wrote. I learned my lesson. READ READ READ
The only think that irks me is the relationship I’ve now established with my Euro teacher.
This is a first. I’ve always been loved by all my teachers and now I’ve got one hating me.
Not what I’m used to.</p>
<p>^and try to master the material rather than mastering the test… that’s another very important lesson</p>
<p>I think you’re tasting something called reality. How do you know she hates you, and what’s the big deal? One teacher that doesn’t like you isn’t the end of the world.</p>
<p>hahaha I know. But the fact that I just have to have her for the remainder of the year and have that on my record really just sucks. but thank you guys for the help. I’ve been extremely upset about this all day, and having you guys tell me that that it isn’t the end of the world and everything has really helped :)</p>
<p>To fix your grade, that’s on you; As for the cheating issue: It’s fixable. Do your work in that class and next time you see him or her, apologize for cheating and the burden will lessen and eventually fade in time.</p>
<p>But don’t get yourself so hung up and breakdown…It’s life and we all learn lessons in different ways</p>
<p>First world problems</p>
<p>LOL best response yet. Exactly.</p>
<p>Did you just look favorably upon a trollish post in response to your dire situation.</p>
<p>Confuzzled.</p>
<p>Unless you are a ■■■■■.</p>
<p>Don’t worry so much. Situations always seem larger inbthe know moment than they actually are. Like someone has said before, do well on the next test, do all your hw, do the extra credit and work hard on your projects and you’ll get up to a B+ at least. </p>
<p>On a different note, I hope you learned your lesson. Study the material, not the test.</p>
<p>I think you are overreacting…</p>
<p>Also I think planning for a prompt completely illegitimisize (I don’t think that’s a word…) the point of a one-day essay prompt, which sounds a lot like a time write.</p>
<p>It’ll be okay(: Just hold up and keep going, you had some back luck (even though it was your fault). At least you know you won’t ever do it again.</p>
