NEVER CHANGE YOUR ANSWERS!
It seems that once a semester, I always screw up with this. Last semester it was my Immunology exam, today it was Trauma/PE. Today we had an exam on Chest Trauma and Pulmonary Emboli. It is our shortest exam of the semester, only 10 questions long. Meaning if you get two wrong you fail. Well, what do I do? I would have had a 90%, but then my idiot self had to change two answers and turns out I had the right answers in the first place. There is honest to God not a more frustrating feeling in the ENTIRE world.
So, no 90%, instead my first failed CHA exam and my first failed exam since 1st semester. To be honest, it's not devastating to my grade. I had a 91% in the class before this, and since the exam was only 10 questions, my grade only went down to a 90%, with my participation points added a 92%. I texted one of my former teachers immediately after because not changing your answers is like her MOTTO, and she sent me in return: Don't change your answers!! Don't doubt yourself!!! This is exactly what I did, and I think this reminder will last me the rest of the semester at least. Very happy it didn't hurt my grade!
I am always SO guilty of this! I'll never forget though.. this is a lesson my 5th grader teacher touch me! I always try to listen to him and remember!
