st8ic Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I just got a 72% on my bio midterm and I'm mad at myself...I thought it was a solid 85 at least! 2010 UPDATE: Original poster here, just wanted to say that I've trumped last year's midterm failure extravaganza by getting a 44% on a second-year calculus midterm. Just reaching down and giving the bottom of the barrel a good old scrape now.... Record for this thread is still 15% on a biochem midterm, tied with a 15% on a physics midterm.

The Law Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I got a 70 on my first bio exam ever! Adapt, learn from your mistakes, and you'll have an A by the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreaM Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I got at 65% on my first genetics midterm and came back to get 80% overall in the course. It was the first time I had ever gotten less than a B on anything, ever, and I literally cried when I got my mark. I have learned to deal with failure in a more mature way since then.

a41 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'm not sure about midterm - probably a 70 something, but I once got a 69 in a course...and come to think of it...66 in biochem. Thank god for that not counting toward my admissions GPA, and my 51 other courses in undergrad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supafield Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 54% first year english final exam. lol I hadn't read any of the books that year nor gone to class..... Who would have thought I would have needed a second undergraduate degree to become an applicant with any chance at all lol. A second undergrad and a whole lot of maturity.

esther0123 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 ah, **** happens. I thought I did pretty well on my first ochem, and it came out with a 77 (B+). But on another note, I have had 60% on three quizzes (each worth 6% ish I believe, so equivalent to 18% midterm.. I guess?) and came out with a solid A in the end. Don't sweat it, 72 isnt that bad to recover from. But dear other people! how much was your midterms all worth? some of the improvements are astonishing..!! I think getting an unsatisfying mark on a midterm doesn't necessarily kill your coursemark, but it does somewhat kill your attitude.. if you let a midterm permanently defeat you emotionally/mentally, then that's when you lose your battle. that's how i'd like to think anyways, seeing that I have a 25% midterm in about four hours, and I'm not quite sure if I'm quite ready just yet. WISH ME LUCK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeman101 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 57% on biochem midterm - 80% on the MC, and EPIC FAIL on the short answer. Dropped the course and never looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeman101 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 67% on an O-Chem midterm. Got an 85 in the course though, so I'm laughing I did a 70% midterm to 85% final mark conversion too on Ochem. I remember that final exam was so clutch.

deeman101 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Atta boy! Unlike some of us (i.e. Law ). LOL. The one and only course I ever dropped. I almost stayed in it too! I figured out that I needed 97% on the final to get an 85 (anything lower drops my gpa so whats the point) and I was actually gonna go for it. Then the prof told me the exam was half short-answer. Dropped it like its hot. Good thing too cause according to my friends the final was murder. But now I feel so liberated knowing that theres no advantage for me to carry a full course load anymore.

O'Neill Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I think my lowest mark was a 55% or so on a differential equations midterm. I ended up with a C+ overall. I was disappointed with that and I re-took the course about 3 years later and got an A- the second time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Law Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Atta boy! Unlike some of us (i.e. Law ). Hey now, the worst I've done in any of my biochem classes is a B+! LOL I should have dropped biochem like it was hot sooner though. I'd have much sexier GPA that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ace of Spades Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Got a 78% on a microbiology midterm. Hated that class, but I escaped with a B+. That's the lowest mark I've ever received. (But my analytical chemistry lab is looking to top it! 69% on TWO lab reports . It's a standalone course.)
