Wrong answer on test marked right?

Well, you see, I skipped a grade in math class, and I just had a quiz. There was this one question, and a lot of people asked about it, and he demonstrated how to do it in front of the class. I realized that I had gotten the question wrong, but my teacher didn’t mark it wrong. I got an A on the test, but if I had gotten that question wrong, I would get a B. Should I keep it to myself, or tell my teacher?

Well, this is a question just for your conscience. It depends entirely on what you think. Do you think it’s wrong to keep it to yourself or do you think that if he didn’t catch it then it’s fair game? I don’t know what I’d do, but it doesn’t matter what I’d do. What matters is what you do.

Show him! Rarely will the teacher take the points away. Even if he does, it may take you from an A to a B but it won’t make a huge difference in your average and your teacher will see you as a honest person, gaining you respect.

lol, that always happens to me! I don’t ever say anything about it. But then there was one time where I had something marked right and my friend had it marked wrong, I told her and she thought it should be right, it turned out that the teacher messed up and my answer was wrong, so I had points taken off.

I think it’s great that you’re asking about what the right thing to do is, but I personally think you should just keep it to yourself. Mistakes happen, and this time, one happened in your favor.

truth is the teacher will probably say congrats. its their mistake not yours…i personally WOULD say something but i know my teachers would just laugh it off and ask me why i am dumb enough to tell them! lol also, consider that he gave it to you because so many missed it and he explained it…
