Test graded wrong..should I tell the teacher?


Question Posted Saturday November 21 2009, 4:12 pm

In my psychology class we trade tests, and someone random grades it. I was going over my test to see what I got wrong for my final thats coming up, and realized a bonus question was counted wrong. The answer I wrote on the bonus question was identical to what we'd written in our notes/the correct answer. My grader counted it wrong, and that question is worth 5 points.

I got an 89 on this test, and if i'd gotten a 90, i'd be able to exempt the final. well, if my answer had been counted right, i would have a 94, therefore being able to exempt the final. the thing is, we took this exam on sept 23, and i only noticed now when reviewing for my final.

do you think its worth showing my teacher, and trying to get the extra points? thank you!

Its worth a try, expect them not to believe you, but being exempt from a final is always a worthy goal to pursue.

That's a tough one, but if your a honest and good student i think you should let your teacher know. If he/she says no then well at least you gave it a shot

YES. Every damn mark counts! Why let someone who probably wasn't paying attention make you lose points. Tell your teacher ASAP and well done :)!

Absolutely. Not only should you consider it, but it is something you need to do for yourself. It is called self-advocating. No one should accept something that is less than what they have earned. I am sure you will self-advocate in a positive way to your professor and get the grade that you should have. This is good practice for what you need to do for your whole life. Good luck.

If you're sure you're right, it can't hurt to go to the teacher. You are always your biggest advocate.
