So the last test I had I received a 57. As appalling as that is, even worse is that the last test I received a 54. What’s not horrible, is that every other test I’ve taken in this class (just finished first semester; the 57 was my first test grade of Q3), has been a solid B or high C. Not to mention that during first quarter I was involved with my schools marching band during Q1 on drum line, so I was constantly exhausted and undoubtedly not getting enough sleep. In addition, after the first test I failed (the 54) I studied my butt off in order to get a grade to counterbalance it. So why the hell are my grades getting worse, even though I have less stress and/or physical exhaustion to deal with, and I’ve been studying much harder than what got me a B for Q2? (I will undoubtedly be talking to my teacher about this, but I’m just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what the issue may be)
