Edited: I mentioned that I was taking a state test in my last blog. It did not have a writing part, so I could not find any accommodations to use. It was on the computer and consisted of a few spelling questions, that I believe I got wrong, and several grammar questions. There were a lot of reading questions as well. I have an above college reading level (though Shakespeare still eludes me) and have always excelled in the reading section of tests. Grammar and spelling though, I have always struggled with. When they give me a question with four sentences, each with different punctuation, I won't see a difference in any of them. They all look the same, and I got several of those questions. I am sure that I got those wrong. I am almost positive that I either got all of, or at least most of, the reading questions right. I got the results of the test today. I got a C. Now I am a straight A student and usually do very well on testing. Now it wouldn't bother me as much, don't get me wrong I would have been ticked any way, but I would have been able to deal a lot better if it hadn't brought my grade down 9% in one shot. I had worked hard and done lots of extra credit to get 101% in the class and was very, very proud of it! Especially because I have dysgraphia. I had hoped to end the year with at least a 98 or 99%. I have been working hard and get a report card every week, so you could imagine my suprise when I looked at my report card today and saw a 92% where I had previously had a 101%. I was shocked, so I went to the computer lab during lunch and looked at my grade online and saw the state test included in my grade. I was even more surprised to find that I got a C on it.
