Default Re: Passing exams

Aww, I am not sure quite what to say to make you feel better, but I hated testing in nursing school. On our state board exams, the questions were set up in such a way that there were always at least two right answers, you had to figure out which one was most correct! Also, it was computerized and there was no set amount of questions (I think I did 150, some did 300, some only did 75!!). So, in school, she set up the tests to reflect that whole, "yes, both are right, but this one is more correct, so that's the one you should have chosen." It was infuriating. And I was always so good at tests but that kicked my butt! So, therefore, if we passed the test, we celebrated, even if it was by just one point! Here, in the end, if you pass, you pass. No one looks back to see by how much, so I had to change my train of thought (not like in high school where the people with the highest marks had better shots at scholarships and so on).
