Yes, the title pretty much says it all. I studied my a** off only to fail (I think, just took it today so I don't know for sure). Not to place blame on anyone but myself, but the test looked nothing like what we have been doing, and we did not have enough time at all. Seriously, not one person was done with the test by the end of the class. Anyways, this test was 100/640 total points. So I can still do alright if I do well from now on. But still, I'm angry.

Cheer up kiddo. These two sentences say it all. You probably didn't do as bad as you think, and/or there will be some sort of normalization.
 
If no one finished, then there will be a curve, so your fine, just anticipate better next time.
 
640 points sounds awkward.

Edit: total points, ohhhhhhhhh.

You may be right. I keep doing what I do every time I take a math test; all of a sudden one of the problems that I had trouble with will pop into my head and I will say to myself, "man, now I remember how to do that," then the anger rises.
 
Are you taking the calculus series? 124/125/126 or 307/308

No, pre-calc. I slacked in the math department in high-school and now I am paying for it.

EDIT; Also, I do not go to UW...yet...which is the series you are referring to I believe.
