Screwed myself over... need urgent advice.

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Basic gist: Missed school for a few days b/c I was really sick... felt better during the weekend and tried to study for a test the next day. Went to school and took the test w/o telling my teacher I felt like death was ripping at me. </p>

<p>The next day, with a quiz in another class scheduled, I felt even worse... told my principal that I felt like complete hell. She said that I should ask my teacher and take the quiz later. Followed the advice... but I never told test 1 teacher about the circumstances that I took the test under.</p>

<p>Test 1 came back... I f---ed up. I feel sick to the stomach b/c I feel like I completely screwed myself over. I should've had the insight to tell my teacher that I was sick and it seems like anything I say now would be a petty excuse.</p>

<p>"You know that big test a few weeks ago? Well, I was barely able to focus because I was really sick" Teacher: "Uh huh." </p>

<p>The only thing that differentiates my situation was that my principal and another teacher knew I was sick. But it was my responsibility to tell my teacher... I've f--ed up big time.</p>

<p>How should I approach my teacher tomorrow? Just be completely honest? Don't want to come off as an excuse maker though... sigh.</p>

<p>Not sure if much can be done, but depending on what your previous grades were like, you can appeal to the teacher. Once you had seen/taken the test, I doubt that a teacher would allow you a re-take, especially in high school. Good luck.</p>

<p>Well i think its alittle to late to make a difference but it won’t hurt to tell your teacher anyways. You never know, your teacher might have a soft heart and let you retake it but don’t count on it though. :/</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies. </p>

<p>Really not sure what my teacher will/can do - it makes me depressed since I basically shot myself in the foot with this. If I can get most of the points left, it’ll probably leave me at a bare A but that’s only if I get the points… </p>

<p>I know grades aren’t everything but when you’ve sacrificed most of this year and finally decided to work hard in school, it seems all the work is crashing down. Feels bad man. :/</p>

<p>Be hones. Say “yeah I’m really sorry but I was stupidly didn’t tell you” or something</p>
