So I know that the averages are pretty low for the ACS finals (averages of about 50%), but I thought I could at least get a C+/B without any sort of curve.
I just took the ACS Gen Chem I final today and definitely failed because I couldn't finish it on time. I did manage to bubble in D's for every question I skipped/didn't get to.
I was an A student; I worked hard to keep an A all semester, but I'm pretty sure this final just dropped me to a B. The professor will curve the exam, but I doubt it would be enough to keep my A. I needed at least an 81 to keep an A for the class.
I didn't think the exam was necessarily difficult, but my biggest issue was the rushed time (less than 2 min. per question); I felt like they wanted me to take less than two min. to answer a question that would take most people five minutes to do. I do think that most of the answers I finished are right, but I took too long to solve them.
Has anyone else bombed the ACS final, or has anyone else's grade suffered because of this exam? I guess I'm just trying to make myself feel better because I'm so disappointed in myself. I even studied the ACS exam prep book.
