    It doesn’t matter if you use mental math or not, you just need to write what you did in your head on the paper.

      Yes. Having been there, and done that, I would agree that it should count. My teacher disagreed.

          I didn’t list all the steps in the way they wanted the work shown. I showed the parts that allowed me to formulate the answer in a way that worked, but that was declared “insufficient.”

          So giving an answer with partial work for the written section, in combination with my high score on the scantron = cheating, I guess?

          As you might surmise, the teacher was absolute shit, in retrospect.

          The Principal too, since he cosigned her demand that I retake the exam twice, including while in the Principal’s office, while he lurked about.

          Makes my blood boil even now.
