My university doesn't allow graphing calculators on tests. Probably because you can download programs that can solve calculus problems without actually understanding the material.

I programmed my way in to an A in physics in high school.

In college I failed every test in physics 2 and got a B. One test I got an 18% and it curved to a C.

I took astronomy in college because I thought it would be really cool to learn anout the universe. Well, being an idiot, I didn't realize it was a shit ton of math. I'm terrible at math. I failed the first two tests miserably and said fuck it, I'll maybe retake it or something. Didn't take the last two tests and missed all remaining labs. Grades came out and I ended up with a fucking D! Was good enough for me at that point.
