Interestingly, just yesterday, I got back the results of a math test and an English paper. I was convinced I was firmly in the B+ range on the test, and ended up with a C-; I was also convinced that I was in the C+ range on the paper, and got a solid A. I've noticed that my expectations are often inaccurate, but they're accurate enough that I'm hesitant to simply negate them.
