<p>There is a curve built into those tests. Again, my dad went to Duke and whatever the grade on the exams were (tough exams, tough school) that grade was a ‘B’; there is a good chance that that grade earned by the original poster will be a B. That’s just the way it is. The professor will see that the test was too hard and there will be much progress made on the next exam. Also, students will learn how to study better and more effectively, and they’ll put more effort in. Always keep in mind, however, that the professor is the boss and certainly, they can formulate a test too tough for even the brightest mind in the class (ie, one you CANNOT do). </p>

<p>Just b/c I’m not that parent doesn’t mean I can’t give an opinion; this is just common sense and I don’t think anyone should be afraid of a stupid test, or intimidated by one.
Suck it up and go on.</p>
