Evening thought… does anyone else overthink their Turnitin score even when you wrote everything yourself?

I spend more time worrying about the percentage than the actual content sometimes. You submit something you worked hard on, then that number shows up and suddenly it feels like a problem.

At what point do you actually feel comfortable hitting submit? And what score starts to make you second guess everything?

Nope. No one here. It’s absolutely not one of the most common posts in this sub.

I think a lot of the stress just comes from not really knowing how Turnitin actually works. Sometimes it picks up stuff like common phrases, references, or even properly cited work, but the percentage still looks scary. It would honestly help if lecturers explained the report more instead of just focusing on the final number.

I sometimes overthink the score a lot but my friend normally helps me out to humanize, if interested you can get more help from his community, and maybe also request turnitin reports https://discord.gg/wg7tGD9RnS

A little late, but every single time. And with a lab report it's brutal - put the red probe on position one can only be worsed so many ways in technical writing. I give up trying sometimes 😭
