One of my students just came into my office, anxious and upset. That left me wondering why since I knew she had gotten one of the top grades on the exam they took yesterday, and she is doing well in clinic (she's in my clinic group, so I would know).
Turns out that yes, yes she was upset about her grade on the exam (got a 92, we had to curve it so she ended up with 100). She was upset because it was the best she'd ever done on an exam in the program, and she was afraid it was a fluke, that she'd bomb the next test
She really did do that well. She's getting it. She just needed reassurance that yes, she really did figure out finally how to take an exam in my class (this is the 2nd time she's had me as an instructor).
