Took the Cahsee, Did I screw up?

I took the CAHSEE but I wasn't entirely finished with my writing prompt. The lady was all like, "Er No Part of the rulez".

I just needed to finish my conclusion; my conclusion is one sentence since I couldn't finish. I couldn't do it without her looking because there were at least 5 other teachers monitoring the room.

I have written 4 paragraphs up to half-way of the last page.

Edit: We have the math portion tomorrow, I could finish then, but I'm not sure if they have already did some sort of scan that's already sent...

[quote=sparkshooter]No, I've done that a lot of times before, just make sure you don't get caught. Just don't think of the consequences, it'll make you scared out of your mind.

Well I sit near my teacher's desk and he'd notice if I'm writing. But I'll think about it.

Eh. I have the habit of triple checking my work. I had about 3 hours for the entire test, and I did a "planning" for my essay because I thought about "quantity over quality".

[quote=CrucibIes]if ur only in the 10th, u still got more tries so dont bother worrying[/quote]
Well I don't want to retake it, it's kind of embarrassing to not pass a 8th grade level test.

Okay, well thanks for the responses guys. I'll sleep on the decision.

@K151532 OP said the conclusion is the one sentence

Uhm, try to finish the conclusion. I mean, it could actually be the thing that makes you retake it.

I think you'll be fine. Even if you don't score a 4 on the essay, the rest of the CAHSEE is too easy. Plus, you could just secretly finish it tomorrow

I don't understand how it actually takes you a full school day to finish 80 or so multiple choice answers and then a writing prompt.
But, the people who grade it, DO look for conclusions.
So you can try and sneak in the conclusion tomorrow or have points docked for an unfinished essay.

The Conclusion is just as important as the introduction, believe it or not.
