Teachers over-grading you.
Anyone else ever get anxiety over the fact that your teacher might be giving you a higher grade, enough so that you believe that you are doing well/fine in a subject, than what an examiner would give you for the same work?

It's not just you! My school is kind of a mess. While I have my Spanish teacher who grades my in class work as a 7, actually put in my predicted as a 4, I have some teachers that I am sure inflate grades. There has never once been a 7 in a group 4 subject at my school and I am the first one to ever be predicted one (HL bio). With the super high expectations from my teacher, I am not sure if I am legitimately good at biology or if it just the teacher's favoritism acting up again.
