Unfair failing

By Mistakes were made - 24/10/2022 23:00 - United States

Today, while I was taking a test in class, there was a question that had everyone stumped. After what seemed like forever, the teacher finally noticed and said he'd typed the question wrong. I spent more than half the time I had to complete the test on a question that wasn't even written correctly. Yes, I failed. FML

if you don’t know the answer and can’t figure it out after a few minutes. move on and come back to it later

This is why I was always taught by my teachers that if you absolutely cannot work out the answer, skip that question for now, do the rest of the test, and loop back around at the end. There’s no point in getting the answer to one three-point question if it causes you to miss out on five one-point questions you knew the answer to.

They taught us to do this in 3rd grade. Run into a hard question, answer all the non-hard ones and come back to it. Don't get fixated on solving it.
