Oh man…been there done that. Only I didn’t have a bunch of other good grades as back-ups! You really don’t know how you did until you get the grade back and it’s not the end of world even if you didn’t do well. Life goes on and in the big scheme of things it won’t matter in the least. You are not defined as a grade–it just feels like that sometimes. Onward and upward.
I made a 56 on a chem exam once which turned out to be a “C”…and then I made a 56 on the final which turned out to be an “A”. Thank goodness for the curve! At the time my dad told me his story about making a ZERO on an exam which turned out to be the highest grade in the class (the rest were negative numbers).
Try to talk to prof before FINAL grades get posted and maybe you can see where you stand and anything you can do. But don’t worry yourself sick over it–not worth it.
