<p>Just going to agree with everyone else here that you are a wonderful human being. And I’m way less concerned about breaking 700 on some of these now :)</p>

13

<p>Physics II - Skipped 3. How many wrongs can I have (max) to get an 800?</p>

14

<p>Since you skipped 3, I think you could get 5 wrong and still score an 800.</p>
