<p>Today, I got back the results of my Honors Geometry test on Proofs. I failed miserably, with 57/100. I'm fairly sure what was wrong with me. I wasn't in the greatest of moods, I was exhausted, and I happened to be eating my lunch as I took the test. I don't have a lunch period because of scheduling inconveniences, so I normally eat during math.</p>
<p>I do very well in math, for the most part. But this teacher, who I also had in the 8th grade and I ended up with a 91 final average for that class, seems to have something with her testing and teaching style that just doesn't fit right with me. The test grade has brought my average down to an 84, and the quarter ends soon. Some good news, though. The next test I have in her class is more of the same, and if I do well on it, she may make this test not count as much.</p>
<p>But as for now, I am in the same mood as a girl with a period. I'm hungry, angry, kind of want to cry, and break stuff. Just felt like venting.</p>
<p>I’m sorry :(. Maybe you should fix your schedule so that you have a lunch period? For me, lunch time allows me to not worry about school for 35 minutes. I would be way more stressed if I had to eat during class.</p>
<p>But seriously I’ve failed plenty before. One failed test wont make that much of a difference in your grade by the end of the semester. Just go over the material and try to learn it again.</p>
<p>Ah, my first failed test was in Geometry Honors as well. I was just a wee Freshman, bright eyed and naive. </p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry too much about it. I just took a major Latin exam in my Latin IV class, and I’ll be lucky to make out with a mid 60. However, I’m fortunate enough to have a 105 right now in the class, so even if I do get a ~40% on the exam, I’ll end up with like, a 96.</p>
<p>It’s just a failed test, It won’t change you in any shape or form. I failed many test in AB Physics freshman year lol. Why stress over a little number, save your worries for a bigger problem, not over a piece of paper with a grade on it.</p>
<p>Want to know how many tests I failed? Quite a few. Want to know what has changed the way I look at school? Those tests that I failed. Want to know why it’s okay that you failed something? Because failure is part of what it is to be a human being. The kid who aces everything never really knows what disappointment is until they’ve failed a test or quiz. So what happens when they get to college and a professor gives them a C? D? Or, gasp, an F? Things happen. It’s going to be okay.</p>
