I think my least favorite thing about being an engineering student is that you never know how you did. I've had exams before where I got a 20% but it ended up being a B and other times where I've gotten a 85% and it be a C. Since so much seems to depend on curve you never really know how you did on an exam unless you know you got every question right.
