So, I'm pretty sure I just failed my chem exam.

On EVERY OTHER TEST this semester the professor has given us a sheet of all the equations we could need for the problems on the test. I get my test this morning, NOTHING. We get a periodic table of elements and a scrap piece of paper, that's it. I went up and asked the professor thinking maybe I just didn't grab the damn sheet, and he tells me that we should be able to derive the equations from the multiple choice answers?

WTF?

I'd maybe understand if he... y'know told us we should know the equations? But no, he just decided to spring this one on us. Happy end of semester kids! Here's an impossible test! I'm pretty sure I saw at least 3/4 of the class gaping around with looks of utter terror on their faces, so it could have just been me who didn't take the time to memorize an ENTIRE SEMESTER WORTH OF CHEM EQUATIONS.

My mother is going to kill me.

It'll be ok. If anybody can pull that off it's you. Does the teacher curve, because I bet half the class fails a test like that(at minimum)

I know he curves, and I hope the curve is pretty big. I'm pretty sure I have a B or something in the class so if it could curve to passing that would be nice.

I'm typically anal with a lot of that stuff, so I take some time to memorize things that I probably wont need to learn. On the other hand, I'm in high school so I can't completely compare. However, I feel for you

Now, when you say "fail", Kara, are we talking about a C, or an actual F?

I would estimate that she gets a C+, based upon general intellect, and grade curves. But i didn't take the test to know how hard it is.

Where I attend school at (UW Rock County), getting anything lower than a C average is considered FAIL.
Guess that's why I'll have to retake algebra next year.
