Failed the AP Chemistry exam...

I received a 2. I was almost certain I had passed but was left to accept the grade because I obviously won’t ever see what I missed besides the free response.

My chemistry teacher recently got my free response back and said that I had simply written the work & answers in between the lines instead of in the apparent blank space after the questions. (Yes I realize that this is ■■■■■■■■ of me but it was an honest mistake. It was my first AP science test also. I thought I was correctly using “the space provided”)

Am I just screwed with the fail grade or do they ever go back and look at it for test takers? It seems silly that I am graded on my use of the space rather than my chemistry knowledge, but I guess thats how life is sometimes.
