Man, i just found out i had a 17 (out of 20) in my fvcking philosophy test and i'm so freaking disappointed, i just want to kill myself and cry

I can't even play videogames, i always keep on thinking about the test! :cry:

Why, god why!? :cry:

Thing is, i got 19 out of 20 on the previous one and i just took a huge blow in my confidence and i can't even eat and do anything at all!

I think that when you break the rythm of the good grades (which has been with me for 2 damn years), everything will just crumble down now! :cry:

What about you guys?

17 out of 20......................................You may have some unrealistic expectations if you consider that a disappointment and a blow to your confidence.

oh geez, I haven't cared about grades since elementary school.

I would get really depressed, even if I only got one question incorrect, and lay on my bed the whole day.

You do realize that a 17 out of 20 is an 85 right....

Suicide. At least you'll free ourselves from hearing things like this.

Come back to me in few years and tell me how significant it is to you by then.

Yeah, think about studying now, you can think about bad grades when you're flipping burgers at mcdonald's.

Umm, if a 17 out of 20 puts you on the brink of suicide, I suggest seeking help.

The only tests one should feel horrible about are tests that determine if you can continue in a program, not an insignificant quiz that one got an 85 on. Especially if the person has a 90 avg. on the 2 tests.

Take my chemistry course and you'll find out that 17/20 would be a good score.

When I don' t get a good grade (btw yours IS a good one) I end up thinking about it for a while and then I remind myself that I did my best so I shouldn' t have any regrets whatsoever. After all sh!t happens all the time.

Your average for those two tests means you still have an A although you'll have to get an 18/20 or better on the next test to maintain an A.

This thread reminds me of when girls post pictures of themselves on facebook with a caption about how ugly they are when they are actually average or slightly above average looking, and then 30+ people comment on it telling her she's beautiful. I think that is basically what OP is doing right now.

Um...try harder next time? Do extra credit assignments in order to make up for lost points (if that's possible)? Oh, and 17/20 is just fine.

I haven't cared about grades since I was 12, but 17/20 is pretty ouch...you really should consider dropping out.

If getting a 17/20 bugs you that much then study harder and do better on the next one.

Approach the teacher and claim the grade is a mistake since I'm a perfect student :P If it actually is my fault for the horrible grade, then I take it like a man.

Worrying about a poor grade achieves nothing. I just learn from my mistakes and study harder on the next test. Simple as that.

When I get a bad grade?

I sit down, cry, whine, and bit** about everything....

Nah, I'm just kidding :P

I look at the mistakes I made, learn from them, and create a foundation for future success. Simply, work harder next time. :D

Plain. Simple. Easy. :)

As soon as I adopted the "I don't give a sh*t" mentality towards school, the better I did. Just prepare, go in, take the tests, and leave. Who gives a sh*t? It's a number on a piece of paper
