Instructor asked if I can keep up during the test!

Published

While taking our midterm exam, we were given approximately 120 minutes for a 100 question test. I took my time and felt comfortable with my testing speed. If we are given the time, I am not going to rush. I was the last one in the room and 10 minutes before the end of the test, the instructor asked me if I thought I would be able to keep up in the next section of nursing classes because we would have less time for testing. Imagine, I have not even finished my timed test and she is questioning me about my ability. I was so angry, it was very difficult to complete the exam. I mentioned this to a few students and they felt I should contact the head of the program. I just feel it was very poor judgement on her part. Should I be concerned about being the last one done as long as it is with in the allowed time? I have a 3.8 on the 4.0 scale.
