Jason, Jason, Jason...
Sorry to hear you did not pass this time.
Funny, I seem to have heard about a story one time
about this guy who KNEW he passed. Absolutely and
unequivocally. Hmmm... IF I KNEW I passed, I'd have
to take my chances.
$250.00 - Get the re-grade if you got the bucks for
it.
I once heard a rumor about a quota system.
I also heard a rumor about the +5/-5 points system.
I heard another one about the proctors just not
passing some folks when they seemed to pass "too
easily" while they monitor one's progress through the
lab...
These are rumors... and only rumors.
May or not be true. ... Probably not, but then your
prep was probably done with a lot of prep and a lot of
care, if you can say the same of your verification of
your lab...
Then you know what you gotta do.
Now, if you doubt that you VERIFIED things, if you did
not tally at least 80 points, and I'd be hoping for at
least 90 points or so that you at least think you
got... then I'd let things be...
However, I suspect you KNOW you passed and if this is
the case and you KNOW you verified your work, $250.00
is cheaper and maybe you'll get it back.
But again what do you absolutely KNOW and what do you
think happened.
Your choice.
Later...
And if you KNEW what I KNOW then you KNOW what you
KNEW you were going to DO all along...
Choose wisely.
