ok. i am convinced that there was a mistake in my final and this is why: I did my final in a mechanical pencil, and i wasn't even sure if it was a #2 pencil and the test was a scantron, which only takes #2 pencils. but, after i finished the test, this girl behind me let me borrow her pencil and then i re-did a few of them in mechanical pencil, but i couldn't finish bubbling them all in the pencil. the rest of them were bubbled with the mechanical pencil. the teacher put progress reports in our mailboxes and the test really effected my grade. that's why i really, really need to make sure that i review the test with the teacher. but, when i went up to her to ask her if i could review the test with her, she said no and that she was sorry. i know that there is something fishy about it because i've had a few problems with some teachers because of different reasons. i'm not a bad person, I'm like the best person at school, behavior wise. I never get into any trouble or anything, but in my school, its money situations. so, i don't think that this is fair. I have to review that test with her and the more that she refuses to review the test with me, the more suspicious i am..... can anyone give me some advice?please and thank you

I hate scantrons, but pretty much every pencil in this world is a #2 unless it is an art pencil. Mechanicals are #2's. I use them all the time on mine and nothing is ever effected.

Perhaps it's possible that there were stray marks or something and the scantron picked it up. There could have been some mix-up. Idk.

I would have your parent or guardian call the school, and talk to the principal and tell him the problem. Your teacher doesn't have the right to tell you that you can't review the test. After whoever calls the principal, im sure he/she will tell the teacher about the call, and you will be able to go and look over the test.

Good luck :]
