dont you hate it when you read something wrong on a test?

[Mday]

i mean, i have consistently read some question wrong, or accidentally put down the wrong thing during test for one of my classes this summer.... I have caught some errors, and others just pass by...

consider one test, instead of writing atom, i kept writing electron. Those errors i caught. Once during such a correction, I erased electron meaning to write atom, and wrote the word electron again.

This past one I misread strength taking it for stress, and lost credit.

This is a materials class... (engineering).

Of course in the past I have done the same thing. reading numbers wrong, and filling in the wrong "bubble" for those "scantron" tests.

[amdskip]

Yeah, been there, done that for sure

 

[Supermercado]

Yup, I hate it. I just try and go really slow and be really careful.

Just try to cure yourself before you're actually designing or building equipment

That's why I take English courses. If you can BS well enough, you can get away with misinterpreting a story.

All the time, one that sticks out to me was in a business studies exam the question was "What are the advantges of remaining a sole trader". Because of the bit before that I'd skipped over it and read it as "What are the advantages of being a private limited company"...so I lost quite a few easy marks there.

Since then I've gotten in to the habit of reading the questions at least 3 times...once word by word, just to be sure.

"Choose the BEST answer" is the worst thing that ever happened to tests.

Air is (choose the best answer):
1. what we breathe
2. what surrounds the earth
3. what is in scuba tanks
4. what is in between test writers ears

 

[LuNoTiCK]

I hate that. I do that enough, way too much.

Things like that sure are common, it happens to me more often when I have not prepared for my exams properly, or when I have not had enuff sleep the previous night.
