I bombed my math exam...the whole class did
I had a math exam that started at 2pm and ended at 5pm (so a 3 hr exam). I spent over 20 minutes on the first page (only 6 qxns, I skipped 2 cuz i didnt get the answer 😭). I was furiously scribbling down calculations as if that would save my grades.
At some point the examinor got out for a phonecall and group discussion started. Names were whispered and papers were thrown. The teacher came back again. Silence. Soon after he got out for another phonecall. At some point, a classmate gave out an audible chuckle and the rest of the class followed. After a while, i just started laughing. A silent laugh with a shaking body and a desperation to not make a sound. It happened TWICE.
We all trauma bonded after the exam (like usual). I honestly dont know whether i should cry or laugh. When i remembed this incident after i got home, i straight up started laughing till i teared up. Not really sure if its tear of laughter or tear of pure devastation. I think ive lost the line between those two after spending 3 of my highschool years laughing over exam trauma with my friends.
