So if you lose 5 or more marks you fail?That's bloody rigged and really stupid. It's not like it's a driving test so that they can pull that shit off 1 Philip Ellwell reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emrys 3,192 Posted May 10, 2017 Well, I failed my test with flying firetrucking colours: 27 out of 40 wrong. you're allowed 4 wrong. I'm never going to firetrucking pass this class. study more. They wouldn't give you a test if they didn't prepare you for it. That's not how schools work. You gotta put effort into it. 1 Philip Ellwell reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xiro 3,468 Posted May 10, 2017 study more. They wouldn't give you a test if they didn't prepare you for it. That's not how schools work. You gotta put effort into it. I obviously can't say anything of how Phil's test was because I didn't see it/take it or how he prepared for it, but shitty tests are a thing lol That being said, hopefully you're able to talk to your teacher(s) about difficult concepts or getting other study material for next test @Phil. Not going for my professors' office hours is something I do... well, a lot, and I feel like having done that would have helped for some classes (also hope that you don't have a bad teacher lol) 1 Philip Ellwell reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emrys 3,192 Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) Im sorry if you don't like what i say but I have to speak my mind. I'm not going to tell you it's the schools fault. If it's a school then people have passed it. It's possible. It just requires effort. Edited May 10, 2017 by EMIYA 1 Philip Ellwell reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geralt 4,874 Posted May 10, 2017 HOW YA BEEN OWO I've been good, you? Well, I failed my test with flying firetrucking colours: 27 out of 40 wrong. you're allowed 4 wrong. I'm never going to firetrucking pass this class. Damn man, sorry to hear that. And don't say that! Just ease your mind of the stress, study hard, don't worry too much about it, and you'll pass it. Give that sucker all you've got. 1 Philip Ellwell reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philip Ellwell 5,487 Posted May 10, 2017 study more. They wouldn't give you a test if they didn't prepare you for it. That's not how schools work. You gotta put effort into it. 45% of the test was stuff I haven't studied yet. It's just a base test for the whole book, parts I haven't worked in included. I guess the teacher didn't know that. I've been good, you? Damn man, sorry to hear that. And don't say that! Just ease your mind of the stress, study hard, don't worry too much about it, and you'll pass it. Give that sucker all you've got. Thanks, Geralt. Im sorry if you don't like what i say but I have to speak my mind. I'm not going to tell you it's the schools fault. If it's a school then people have passed it. It's possible. It just requires effort. It requires effort I didn't put in because I wasn't studying those bits. We study what we're weakest in, which was decimals according to my test scores, so the test had a ton of percentages and estimation, things I haven't gotten to yet. 1 Geralt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's a school then people have passed it. It's possible. It just requires effort. What you said is true, but failing you for losing 4 marks is firetrucking bullshit It's a test, you're bound to stuff up from the pressure no matter how prepared you are One thing I've learnt is that no matter how much you study, you're never fully prepared I've been good, you? Damn man, sorry to hear that. And don't say that! Just ease your mind of the stress, study hard, don't worry too much about it, and you'll pass it. Give that sucker all you've got. I've been good myself thanks owo 1 Philip Ellwell reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't have "grades" so much as improving your work, and understanding where you went wrong. Mr. Thompson's kinda Bohemian when it comes to teaching.

Emrys 3,192 Posted May 10, 2017 Yeah, except I've still got a regular test this Thursday: I failed the practice prepare as much as you can. Remember the questions that were on the test you bombed and study on them so that they never get you again. If I can ace college then a baby can do it. That's you Phil.
