Stupid ass Business Finance exam (online). I got 70 thinking I got 91. What pisses me off the most is the fact that I got crap wrong on the things I THOUGHT I got it right. That's the worst feeling.

I finished the exam thinking I got 91... and bam the result shows 71. OMFG my blood boils.

This course fucking sucks, I'm a fucking dumb fuck. I've been studying for 3-4 hours everyday after work and I get this grade.

Why is this ONE course so fucking demanding? This course load is equivalent to taking 2-3 regular courses of easy ass English/Psych/Stats whatever.

Fucking four more exams and final to go. I will have no life until end of July.

I'm just bitching here. move on.

Not when I need a minimum grade of B to receive diploma.

You mean degree i hope. ;)

Whoa, don't blow a gasket! Just relax and regroup for the next exam. Like Josh stated, it won't matter much down the road. :beer:

At least you didn't blow your final... I blew my linear algebra final last quarter with a 47% and barely passed with a 2.2. If I had gotten 100% I would've been able to get a 4.0 (finals were 80% grade/ or 26% depending on how well you did)

What is worse than the 71 you got, is the temper tantrum you're throwing. :p How many f bombs do you need to throw before you feel better? ;)

Excuse my ignorance, but what makes one not look up answers online while taking one of these tests?

Man up.

Yeah, for me this was 2 semesters of Organic Chemistry. It sucked but I got through it.

I know how you feel. I've been pissed at myself for the past day. Just took my first test for the management class I'm taking in summer school. I got a 72.5. I can only miss 5 more questions on the next 3 tests. I'm pretty bummed. I don't want to get a B in a dumb business minor class. :(

The whole principal I guess.


Speaking of which, I'm in High school, and trying to get 4 As and 2 B's--in 5 AP classes at the moment. ;)

Yes, yes, it doesn't matter down the road when I'm flipping burgers, but it sure as hell matters, NOW.


Which is why I'm on ATOT. :(

Prof is not an idiot. You can look up formulas which is already provided in the course anyways. You can even look up finance calculators but Qs are STILL hard because you have to interpret the question correctly before you do any math.

well most people don't fail exams intentionally. They are thinking they are answering correctly.

The smart know the exams they blow.

Only 3-4?

My friends study all day/night for exams. I am in engineering and am barely scraping by (need a 60 average)

No shit? You thought you got a 91 and you ended up with a 70... I think it's pretty fucking obvious to, oh, I don't know, EVERYONE that you got crap wrong on the things you thought you got right.
