I am quite confused and embarrassed right now. I took a final exam last week for a Physics I class, or so I thought. I looked at the syllabus for the time, went to the normal lecture classroom (which is also where the midterms were held), and took a final exam for an introductory physics class. But after receiving a zero today and a brief exchange with the professor, I found out that I had taken the wrong exam. I had the time right but not the location. The correct exam has been posted to the class website and the content differs ever so slightly from the exam I took.
It’s kind of crazy that I managed to mess this up, and more so that I didn’t even realize because of how similar the content was. But I need to fix this. If I get a zero on the final exam I will get a D in the class, which might (edit: definitely will) endanger my prospects of graduating next semester (and also really bum me out as I’m typically a straight-A student haha).
The professor is reaching out to the professor whose TAs were running the other exam to see if they kept my test and try and sort things out. Is there anything else I can be doing?
