That’s a neat way of getting points back

My son writes impossibly small. On an essay the teacher wrote "I'm too old to read this, what grade do you deserve?" Lol

I graduated high school with enough extra credits for a whole other senior to graduate.

In Physics II in high school I once got a 12% on a test, which set the curve. That was the only year that teacher taught at my high school.

I had a professor who had a policy where he would add the difference between 100 and the highest score to everybody’s score. There was (1/2)

...a kid who knew he would get a 100 so he intentionally botched a question in order to boost the rest of the class (2/2)

Well if they know the bonus questions they can be cocky about it

But that person didn't.

Are you sure?

The fucking confidence level for me saying to you, yes.
VarriksTheLoyal
So atleast 2
imnotryan
...94........ what bonus points? Wishful thinking kid... just like Soviet Communism. "Give my extra potatoes to the poor" What extra? lmaooo
17arkOracle
Bonus points tend to refer to an optional bonus question. They don't refer to points scored over 100.
imnotryan
The bonus question applies to your score.
alex5775
yeah and they were asking for it to apply to someone else's score instead, likely because they were confident they'd do well which they did
imnotryan
Considering there are no extra notations of any kind... I'm inclined to feel the opposite. Otherwise... a smiley, a winky, a score minus pts
dalaiyoda
So... in accusing someone else of making shit up, you... decided to make shit up. Great job.
gawdhawly
Could be 94/80 for all we know.

Bonus points are for scores over ? kiddo, keep dreaming with that 94.

You do realize you can get less than 100 on the actual test but still bank extra credit answers, too, don't you?

You're that one kid that would proudly and confidently reply with the wrong answer all the time, aren't you? You lovely moron!

Every test I've ever taken with bonus points, they were awarded to my over all score, no matter what the score was
Cortezdelanoche
morelikeconsham
What? That's not how it works at all. If there are 20 questions and one bonus question, each worth 5 pts, then if you miss 2 reg questions
morelikeconsham
But get the bonus, you get a 95/100. 18*5+5.

To whomever?

No, it’s followed by a verb.

I did not know this. Thanks for helping me save face in the future. Gotta save them faces.
jwh236
But it’s the object?
iRegretThisUsernameAlready
I’m not great at explaining grammar but Grammarly’s tip was that you’re not just saying "to them" but "to _they_ who score the lowest". So >
iRegretThisUsernameAlready
still a subject of its own segment. https://www.grammarly.com/blog/2-effective-ways-to-deal-with-whoeverwhomever-confusion/
jwh236
Haha well I just disagree with their assessment. If it’s an object, then it’s whomever. I think “score[d] the lowest” is a participle phrase

My chemistry teacher used to deduct points if you got an answer wrong.
RosencrantzNGuildensternNeverLived
Did they have chemistry with any of their students? That’s all the MTV crowd wants to know aparently.

DickDastardly404
That’s not how tests work. That’s just a flat reduction to scores across the board for no reason.
simonsaysKISS
We had mix in Uni. So some start on 0 , others with negative marking starting at 100. The negative marking is an absolute nightmare. Ireland

Isn’t that the point?

Fun to watch the ones who get the answers wrong in the lab. Partner them together for more hilarious results. Keep fire extinguisher ready.

This kinda attitude is why I didnt continue with a science degree.
Stanistani
I thought it was because you never understood calculus.
kingkongkeom
Isnt that how tests work? You start at 100% and then you loose some with each question is not answered correctly?
Lostedge
No, you start with 0, you answer every question wrong, and you end up -100%

drakewarnock
As opposed to...what? Is there a joke here I'm not getting? Are you saying things that are obvious but portraying them as something 1/
drakewarnock
2/ abnormal for comedic effect?
Expansix
Might mean tests that are scored from 0 where a correct answer grants and a wrong one deducts. I've had some like that, where 5/10 means 0 .
Expansix
Scoring like that is usually used with multiple choice to discourage guessing
iggylights
I once scored a 40 on a math test. The teacher allowed one do over but he made sure to announce to the class, "Hey, wanna make up that 40?"
oceansentry
I once scored a 0.5 on an Algebra test. He had the decency to put that on the scale on the board. Decent guy, but really? Was that necesary?
ICheckUsernameAndSuch
I had math teachers scream at me about not doing my homework. I consistently scored top of the class on tests, tho, so it seemed pointless.

I scored a negative once. Super hungover in college, got a 10. Turns out teacher takes 15 points for not putting your name.

I never really studied for math, I just kind of got it. I once had a girl in my class, the kind that would study to the extreme, fail...
vicsan2000
2 not just buy 1 or 2 points, but she got 0 as in zero nothing correct. She cried like crazy. The test made up 40% of our grade that year.

Also a FERPA violation to share grade info with other students like that.
ProbablyNotTheDevil
I don’t believe saying that would constitute a ferpa violation. If it were a grade maybe, but not just a score.

Especially since poor handwriting is a sign of a number of Learning Disabilities (like mine, Dyspraxia), truly an asshole move.

Once scored a high 90 on a test, teacher said if it weren't for this high score he would have graded on a curve since everyone did poorly 1/

My teachers still curved 90s and let the high scorers have 105% as needed.

Hands everyone's tests back and when he hands me mine, looks me dead in the eyes and loudly says "Thank you". And now entire class hates me

What a fuck. Why do people who hate kids teach them?
OtterlyMagnificent
I don't think it's that they hate kids. It's that they hate having the curve thrown off because it makes them look bad.
PorneliusHubertII
I think its the teachers way of sayimg they could have done better. If they hate you because you tried then its the studenst that are dicks.

For any potential future DVers, I believe they are referring to a teacher dating a teacher from a rival school as being normal, not 1/2
