Ok, so, as my transition from high school to community college life goes for dual credit (Im a junior in HS, taking CC classes for college and HS credit), for my pre calculus class, I found out a day ago that my answers were perfectly fine, and I got marked down for them ( I went over each problem solving why I got them wrong). Since I have a 59% on the test (all the other high school students taking the class also failed.), each percent matters. So in this case, I go up to the teacher after she handed them back a few days ago (Tuesday, I talked to her friday, or today.), and show her that my test was incorrectly graded. One of them she's willing to change, but the other she believes that I changed my answer after I received my test back because of eraser marks I made during the test. So now she's going to look with a magnifying glass to see if I "changed my answers."
The best thing to do in this situation was to check earlier and bring it up ASAP, but I didn't know if I was graded down by lack of showing work (which in the end the answer was just required.). So is there anything I can do besides hope that she'll give me the extra points I need to at least get a D?...
Cliffs:
I get half credit for work that doesn't require showing work, and I had the correct answers.
My teacher thinks I changed one of my answers after I received the test back.
Is going to look over my answer with a magnifying glass to see if I cheated.
What can I do?...
