Welcome, ladies and gentlemen! It's time for another edition of "Predict-the-score-of-Byran's-exams"!

I took my Manufacturing Processes Exam this morning. I didn't finish it, I thought I had more time than I did and I was in no hurry at all when I should've been scrambling madly.

Out of 115 points, I left like 12 points blank, so there's about 10% right there.

Prediction: 93 or 81%.

When I think I bombed I usually end up doing better than I thought, so we'll hope for the best.

And the other thing, is I obsess about tests, especially of I perceive bombage. This, I think, goes back to a security issue for me. I care too much about my grades, my identity is wrapped up in them. So to think that I bombed a test borders on devastating. I literally have to reorient myself, get some perspective, and move forward.

In the past bombing tests has caused me to redouble my efforts in the class to try to make up for it. That'll probably happen again.

I just hate this feeling.

But it'll pass, it always has before.
