I made a Mistake

  1. could they not work out what questions were assigned to you from your student number?
  2. Could you choose which questions you wanted to answer when you were actually there?

If it’s the first then they will know from the question paper and mark manually.
Second - ok not so good and actually a ridiculous way to create a MCQ assessment.

It’s one of the lesser used ones, amazingly. With all the magickians in the world with money problems, you would think more would opt for an offering that costs no money, lol.

It’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like. It can be as simple as devoting a set period each day for the spirit in question, like the proverbial ‘moment of silence’. You could also contemplate on the spirit, offer thanks, etc. There are many ways.

One I use is something I call the 100 Breaths. On my beads (string of 100) I chant out a personalized statement of thanks and respect, structured in the brief sentences, spoken in a single breath, on each bead. 100 beads, 100 Breaths.

Before offering time, however, be sure to understand the difference between devotion and making an offering in terms of what you are trying to convey, then choose accordingly. Some may disagree with me, but King Paimon could care less about devotion. Whether you love or fear Him, the real concern on His end is respect.

Why not carve up candles with their sigil, tie some of the colored ribbon around it (pulling or wrapping towards you to bring in the desired results while saying enn’s or the like) and burn those? Dollar tree has very affordable materials for us kinda folk :wink: :first_quarter_moon_with_face::full_moon_with_face::last_quarter_moon_with_face::star2:

That’s actually what I’m hoping for but there’s also the chance they’ll just give me a zero. :disappointed:

That’s a brilliant idea… I can also do that.
Maybe I’d get really good marks over all if I do that…
One can hope right :sweat_smile:

Do you not have a complaints and appeals? Any extenuating circumstances eg dyslexia or dyscalculia or any disability.

Yes, it’s more work for them but they have to realise that it’s ridiculously stressful and yes students do mess up.

You do realise that it’s really not in their interest to fail someone on administrative technicalities rather than on a true lack of knowledge of the student?

Do you have any idea how long it takes to write MCQs and any kind of assessment, including marking guides, and then all the resits - because you can’t recycle them.

I know your pain, I did the same but the sheets are all barcoded along with identifying details in case they get dropped in a big pile or something so the computer can read them (yes, multi choice are all computer marked)

I’ll look more into that and see what I can do. I’ll ask some teachers for what I can do

It depends - Further and Higher Education may do things differently to schools.

I know when I did my ‘O levels’ which essentially means I am prehistoric, I either missed a question out or did one too many and was penalised. I think it was the former - but still managed to get an overall pass but at a lower grade than anticipated. My mother went ballistic with me (lots of things seemed to make her angry with me a lot of the time).

Oh well. Anyway - it might be worth seeking out your instructor and asking what the situation is as they may be able to intervene.

Admittedly not a magickal solution but sometimes magick doesn’t resolve mundane - the entities might be more helpful if they see that you’ve tried to resolve it for yourself first.

I’m hopeful it’ll work out for you.

Thank you, I’ll try my best to solve this issue by both mundane and magickal means :slight_smile:
It sucks to study so much and to not get good grades just cause of one stupid mistake…
Not worried about passing the exam though… :slight_smile:
