secondworld Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Let's say you're taking some kind of test, and you look back at one of your answers. Something about it looks off to you, so you change it. Then you find out later that you got that question wrong, and your original answer was the right one. It's simultaneously one of the funniest and most annoying things I've experienced.

mewyeon Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 ...TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT. The most frustrating thing in the world. I've also been frequently making the dumb mistake of interpreting the question wrong in my delusional befuddled mind and put down some random obscure answer instead of the obvious one. My astrobiology midterm from last week AND today's stats midterm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Bear Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Several times... I've done it so many times that I've started to just answer questions and the like on my gut (Provided I know the answer..). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steampunk Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I've done that countless times. That's why I drank copious amounts of alcohol before taking my last final exam in university. You may laugh, but a little bottled courage helped ease my horrible test anxiety. I only wish I'd started my special test preparation at the beginning of my second year.

Zanarkin Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 An extreme amount of times. To the point that i usually never double check my multiple choice tests anymore, except to make sure i bubbled in the right letter for scantrons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djeets Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 EVERY TIME!! >.< well, not so often, but one flaw like that and i can't be forgiving toward this mistake like forever. Especially dat biology test, where i didn't get perfect score because of it... ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kintenbo Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Yeah, sometimes it's a good idea to just let sleeping dogs lie. Espcially when you don't know the answer in the first place! Of course, on a jolly note, there are times where I do change an answer for the better! Still, it's never fun to get a B when leaving answers alone could have gotten you an A!

Disco Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 It happens to the best of us :( When I was in school it was ingrained into us not to go back to check our answers because then you'd want to change something that you probably would have had right! I had to take a couple of standardized tests electronically where you literally could not go back to check your answers, which was a relief in some ways because you couldn't agonize over whether or not to go back and change something. But I think it's good practice to move on and never look back as soon as you mark an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algae Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I've had the opposite experience. Teachers always recommended going back and double-checking everything. I'm not sure if it's ever actually helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Alear Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Once when taking the SAT, I accidentally flipped forward an entire section. So while everyone else worked on section 4, I worked on section 5. I realized my mistake when we went to the next section, copied all my answers in the section 4 bubbles into section 5, erased them from section 4 and left it blank, and sat around waiting for the next section change. It seemed like the most honest thing to do at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) ^ that sucks, at least you can take it more than once.... I rarely second guess, but I always double check. Odds are I have the correct concept but sloppy math. Edited June 2, 2013 by Lord Raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
