Totally bombed out in Bio. I walked out of the exam feeling as though I killed it, and I expected it to be my best result. Ended up my worst result by far, which is quite shocking to me.

Anyone else experience a situation similar to mine?

During school assessment all the time. For some odd reason the more confident I am with a test the shitter the result, and vice versa.

Therefore I always tried to be conservative with what I did, always think "there's always someone doing better than me, this is nothing in comparison" - and just keep adding to the answer.

Yeah I actually am doing that. But I don't wanna get my heart set on a mistake because I assume they would double the imput of the results before they release them. But then again, mistakes happen so it can't hurt.

Thought i did well in ancient history, my assessment mark was mid 80s.

Ended up with 60/100 for the exam.

I'm the total opposite. My actual raw assessment mark for Ancient was 68, but the result yesterday said 81. And in the exam I thought I was going to get like 60, and got 86.

I am considering one, if I do it and my mark was lower then does my mark go down?

I still cannot believe that my exam mark for physics was 81/100, I don't even think my results are real
