Now that two weeks have passed, I am less upset/anxious about it. Walking out of the exam I felt so crushed. I studied very hard, I thought I knew everything I needed to know, and I thought I had my professor's style figured out. If only.
One of my classmates said it best - he said he would have done well on the Torts exam if the test was written about a class we took. It seriously felt like we were taking a final for a completely different class. The multiple choice were brutally tough (on several I was honestly unable to narrow the four choices down because I wasn't sure what issue the question was testing). The essay questions were equally unclear. Additionally, I was so frazzled by the multiple choice that I ended up writing what felt like awkward, stilted answers that didn't clearly or properly answer the questions. As I was writing I knew in my gut that I wasn't doing my best, but for some reason I was unable to change my path. It was a pretty awful experience over all. Essentially, Torts kicked my butt. Good thing I did well in other classes - I'm hoping it all balances out!

P.S. I ended up with an A- in Torts! Who knew? When I told C he (correctly) pointed out that the reason I did well was probably only based on the performance of my classmates and probably did not have much to do with my own performance on the exam. I am inclined to agree!
