So today, I had my biology exam and right as the exam finished, I didn't even check it but I had a realization that I just answered the 7 mark question wrong.
It was like an epiphany because I was just sitting there, and then suddenly in my mind I was like SHIT! and the exam ended.

Has anything similar ever happened to you?

I screwed up my very first Chemistry assessment. Caught up and was first until Trials.

I screwed up my very first Extension 2 Maths assessment. Caught up and was first at the end of the year.

I screwed up my Half yearly Biology assessment. Caught up and was first at the end of the year.

Moral of the story: We all screw up, and we can all catch up.

Realised that I wrote co-interior angles are equal instead of co-interior angles are supplementary in a plane geometry question in a topic test after handing it in....
That's what happens when you get 5 hours of sleep the night before.... No hope for 4 unit maffs :/

Thought i screwed up my 2U preliminary final. Felt like absolute crap afterwards finding i got different answers to everyone.

Few weeks later, exams came back, 83/84. Win.

On the note of actually screwing up an assessment, my 3U preliminary half yearly.. Horrible marks.

Being too cocky and confident led to 15+ marks gone due to silly mistakes.

Exactly why I messed up my first Extension 2 Mathematics exam.

Previously, all the Extension 1 exams were very easy so I thought "Hmm... I doubt this test will be hard."

So I didn't study much for it.

Which was why I scored so poorly compared to everybody else.

Biology: had dependant and independant variable questions correct, last minute of paper, DRAW ARROW AND SWAPPED IT. UGH.
Business studies: Used wrong year on balance sheet, but with correct method.

Need good stories, such as being nominated a poem in the HSC English paper last year and having never looked at it.
