Maybe it was just a fluke. Hang in there.

not likely that you will be on top of the mountain all the time. Maybe you overthought the test, or were tired, or simply not as prepared as usual. The lesson here is "what now"?

:-/ That sucks. Kind of a let down from how great you were doing before, I'm sure.
Did you look at why you missed questions? Did you not know the material? Going back and changing answers? Not reading all the answers? Or just getting caught up on tricky questions?
It happens, but try not to let it get you down do you can keep your motivation to rock out on your next test!

It is never fun to have a bad grade following a great one. Sometimes it is hard to choose the best answer. Just because your strategy didn't work this time doesn't mean you should change it. Make sure you sleep before tests though. Eat a good breakfast. Good luck!
