Acing a test

sitting down, flipping through it and realizing you know how to do every single question. Doing it, checking your answers and handing it in with plenty of time to spare knowing you are gonna get 100%

It's rare but when it happens it's a good feeling. Hasn't happened on a math test since like grade 11 for me.

I can usually guess within 5% my score on an exam after I have taken it. Kinda sucks, cause even after the exam I can still be a bit stressed out.

I have gotten quite a few 95%+'s so far in college, but I don't think I have ever gotten a 100% yet. I mean I have gotten them in non-major classes but those don't count at all.

Is math super easy in 'merica or something...? There's no way there's that many kids, especially on NS, that regularly get 100s on tests, unless your tests are super easy/your teachers are super easy... I know tons of smart kids, who regularly get 95+, but rarely 100s - there's too many little things you can lose marks on. Not always just about getting the right answer...

really what kinda math tests are you writing?

But this time wasn't a math test it was a quantum physics test. I've only ever got 100% on one math test I think.

Stupid ones, tbh. We can lose marks for form... can't remember any specific examples atm, but yeah it's stupid. Also, our math tests sometimes involve explanation questions... and I'm not very good at explaining shit, so it's pretty hit and miss there. I dunno, I consider myself a pretty smart guy, and most of my friends are damn smart as well, but our math tests tend to be so comprehensive and the shit we're learning has so many details that it's super easy to screw up and lose a mark for something stupid.

ah yeah. proofs. I am pretty good at applied math but can never remember how to do epsilon deltas and all that shit. wish they had separate math classes for math majors who actually care about proofs.

its a lot more like this. getting a test, flipping through the pages and realizing you know absolutely nothing that is on the test. Such a great feeling.
