<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 3949575, member: 27832&quot;]I&#039;ll beat those stories.</p><p><br /></p><p>For an electrical engineering course (digital electronics for non-EEs, required for CS students), one of our tests was 25 questions, multiple-choice. I thought it was kind of tough, but felt confident. When our tests were returned, I had a 76, my low grade for the class.</p><p><br /></p><p>I started looking at the six questions I&#039;d missed, and couldn&#039;t see what I&#039;d gotten wrong. I ended up sitting down with the senior TA for the class (the Professor Himself <i>certainly</i> wasn&#039;t going to waste his time with undergraduates, especially <i>non-major</i> undergrads), and going through my test and the answer key, question by question.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the end, we decided I&#039;d missed <i>one</i> of the questions -- and <i>it wasn&#039;t one of the ones originally marked wrong</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, the final results:</p><p><br /></p><p>My initial score: 76</p><p>My corrected score: 96</p><p>The answer key&#039;s score: <b>72</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>I never did get a straight answer on who set up the answer key, and I don&#039;t remember what they did about everybody else&#039;s test scores. But this was in probably 1982, so tread carefully when picking the generation to blame for it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
