if you scored a 96 on a test and you could retake it over again, would you retake it?

<p>the new score of the retest would be just another test score added into the teacher's grade book</p>

2

<p>r u insane??? heck no</p>

3

<p>Would the grade be the best out of the two?
Am I getting under an 'A' in the class?</p>

<p>If I was getting under an A in the class by .1 or something I'd retake it.</p>

4

<p>No. Only if I had like a B+ and it could give me an A-. I don't think I'd do it even if I had an A- and it'd give me an A.</p>

5

<p>Hell no. I'd jump for joy at a 96.</p>

6

<p>Yes...if it was an easy test
at my school a 96 is a A-...so i probably would</p>

7

<p>no. i have a life.</p>

8

<p>If the test was neither extremely difficult nor long, I would.</p>

9

<p>this girl in my ap physics class retook a 98.. our teacher averages the grades of the two tests.. she got a 99 overall eheh</p>

10

<p>Assuming the test isn't difficult or long (like clemenciae just said) I probably would, just because I'd probably get another 96-ish on it and get a better overall grade in the class. Unless my average was higher than 96. In which case I wouldn't.</p>

11

<p>how can you rationalize wasting the time to retake an A test, that is valuable school sleep time that you are wasting</p>

12

<p>Do you mean sleep in school? That never works for me... I just sleep at night. Besides, it's not like you have to study all over... if you got a 96 once, it should be easier the second time (you see what you got right/wrong).</p>

13

<p>GoldShadow, the chances of you making a silly mistake and getting lower than a 96 is very high on the retake. Besides, retakes are usually MUCH harder in our school!!:mad:</p>

14

<p>I'd do it. But I'm weird like that. I once retook a quiz I got a 20/20 on.</p>

15

<p>um no. a 96 is really really good at my school.</p>

16

<p>Same thing at my school...But teachers also do not allow students to retake tests. If I got a 96, though, and I knew all the material well, I would opt to retake it.</p>

17

<p>Hmm, lemme think. Hell no!</p>

18

<p>Yeah I would retake it, but then again it really depends on how crucial that test is to my grade.</p>

19

<p>"the new score of the retest would be just another test score added into the teacher's grade book"</p>

<p>Does that mean both the old score and the new score will be counted? If so, definitely, as thats basically two test grades close to 100 instead of one.</p>

20

<p>Yeah, retake it. If you do good again, it will help strengthen your test average. That way, if you mess up later on, the blow won't hit that hard.</p>
