How hard are/were your finals?

All A’s except for 2. Two of my finals, including one of the 2 that weren’t A’s, were HEAVILY curved: for one of them, if 60% of the students missed a certain question, that question would be counted right. I can’t imagine how many questions THOSE were in a 170-question exam. Add the 20 points he gave to everyone, and you have one exam more inflated than the German economy after WWI.

For the other one, we were supposed to write 2 essays (English exam): 1 was a full-length (5-paragraph) essay, and the other was 1-2 paragraphs. For the first one, I only wrote 4 paragraphs (no conclusion paragraph) and wrote 3 sentences for the second essay. How I got an 85 is beyond me.
