Don't beat yourself up man. Sometimes you just gotta keep working harder.
I am a constant evolving music machine. Oh Man, I just forgot what I was playing. Oh well, on to the next song. :rolleyes:

You came as close as you did. Is that not worth recognition? By no means am I saying to settle, but as you said, it's only .3%. It's not like you did a crappy job, so I say be happy, but don't stop there.

Go back to your teachers and haggle an extra mark out of them.
The initial grades ya get are just a starting point for negotiations.

the onlypossible way to get a better mark is to send my papers for a remark...but more often, papers that get remarked get its scores reduced...so im not too keen on taking the risk... :o
