I definitely am. I expected a 5 before and after the test, and was very shocked when I got the mail, and it printed a 4.

During the year, I had possibly the most challenging English teacher ever, and I scrapped by with an A- first semester and then an A second semester, writing several 9’s and 8’s on her essays (she’s a hard grader!). Although I was worried about the multiple choice, I somehow thought that my essays would make up for it.

But the MC section on the test was not very hard, to be honest. However, the essays may have thrown me off, especially the synthesis one on local produce (***)…

All in all, I was very very shocked about the score…I got too confident I would seriously do anything to go back in time and work harder on those essays

Is anyone else in the CC community surprised by their score?
