Bad Physics grade?

What the heck..I studied VERY hard for my final exam. I had about a 90 in the course and I would say I relatively understood my stuff pretty well. He gave us a study guide, I memorized every practice problem on there(yes I understood the material not just the wording). We took the final Monday morning, and there were about 4/14 questions on it that were IMPOSSIBLE! They had to do with our topics, yes. But to answer them required a whole other level of thinking that we had just not practiced at all. I ended up with a 75 on this test. The exam is worth 30% of our grade. He said he's going to curve the class a little bit, but I can't solely depend on that. I'm pretty sure I'm only going to end up with a B+ at most. Should I be worried about applying to pt schools now since most applicants receive A's?

Thanks. I'm very dissapointed about this incident as I strive for A's in all classes. Just curious to see what people say

I think you'll be fine. I received a C in both Phys 1 and 2 while I was in my undergrad and I retook Physics 1 and got an A, so for most schools, they'd probably average out the 2 and it would end up counting as a B. I got into a school, so I don't think you need to worry!

A couple of B+ are okay. It sounds like you have mostly As so I wouldn't worry about it. You tried your best, so there's nothing you can do about it now. Don't stress, it will all work out.

I had B's for 3 of my pre reqs and I got in to 3 schools and interviews for a few more as well so I'd say you're fine!
