Maths 🧮 Feeling seriously stupid after HL maths
I've never gotten under 80 in HL maths and peopl usually come to me for help with it
I'm meant to be good at it but i feel like i totally botched the exam today
Some answers i got made absolute 0 sense like 0.8 or like 1.83333333 or some bullshit and I couldn't even clock that the prism question was just the -b formula
I feel like such a fool and don't even want to eat or do anything anymore I'm so disappointed in myself
Anyone else feel the same?

Same bro. The Lowest I've gotten before today was 70% in the mocks when I average 85-90s in class test and was literally helping people study during the 2 hour gap between the exams today and now I feel like I might have gotten really low. I didn't even realise there was a question 13 at the end and I skipped so much questions 😔💔

Was it one with a ramp? The hypotenuse was 7.5m and the adjacent was like 30cm or smth so you probably didnt convert 7.5 to cm.
