Holy rising grades, Batman!

[ninevirtues]

I checked my grades. As regular readers of my LJ are no doubt painfully aware, I thought my grades were as follows:

Anatomy B
Physiology B-
PT Skills B+
Human Life Sequence A-
Orthopedics B+

So I checked my grades online, secretly (or perhaps, now, not so secretly ;-) worrying that there'd been a mistake and my grades were worse than I calculated and I was going to be thrown out of school for failing physiology. (A B- is close to failing in my program. I cut that one a little too close for comfort!)

Well, no. Careful inspection of my online report card reveals the following:

Anatomy B
Physiology B+
PT Skills A-
Human Life Sequence A-
Orthopedics A-

Well, I'll be damned. How'd that happen?

Possibility 1: I miscalculated (not likely-- I looked at those numbers a lot)

Possibility 2: Much of the class missed the same exam questions I did, and those questions were thrown out, thus raising my final exam score and my resulting final grade.
