I'm in grade 9.
We had a math test today.
We had a fire drill, disabling me from finishing the test.
I had 1 question to do that was worth 7 marks.
There were 3 other students that didn't finish because of the fire drill as well.
We asked if we could finish it tomorrow, she said she'll think about what is fair.
What are the chances of her letting me finish?

The fire drill wasn't plan and we had to wait outside for like 20 minutes.
You're probably some fat lard who lives in his mom's basement.
Either that or you won't loved as a child.

And yes, I purposely said "won't" just to entertain you, you probably need it.
Bitter a**.

Unless she's some heartless beotch, she should let you finish it. doesn't she want you to graduate high school? i'd call if she didn't, i'd be like..DUDE, you're going to make me fail, and then i have to take this class again, and i'll end up failing high school because of you. Thanks...
haha sorry.. [:

First, if you're in the ninth (or any) grade, then you desperately need a remedial English course: "disabling" is poor usage; "preventing" is best (I had issues with other words, but I have a feeling that you purposely misused them, as if you were a foreign student, for whatever bizarre reason you may have).
Second, you had a fire drill which allegedly prevented a number of students from finishing the test, but you didn't say whether it was a planned drill. If so, your teacher would not have given you the test at all, or, at the very least, would have made the questions fewer in number and/or complexity, so that you could finish it in time (or, she would have taken the fire drill into account, and simply ignored the last few questions or graded on the curve). If not, then why in the world would she make you wait until a future time to complete it? Wouldn't you and/or the other three students run to your textbook to find the answers?
Third, you didn't say how many total students are in the class. If the four of you couldn't finish out of class of 30 or more, then you're most likely out of luck (again, why would she wait to say whether you could finish?). If there are fewer than 20, then she MIGHT consider allowing you to complete the test, but, AGAIN, why wouldn't she tell you, one way or another, immediately?
I have no idea why you came up with such a ridiculous scenario, but, next time, at least make it a little more convincing! Or, are you trying to find out what'll happen if YOU set off a fire alarm in order to get out of the test? Don't even think about it, kiddo!

I would wait and see what your teacher gives as an answer to you tomorrow. Did she plan on giving the test for the entire class period, or did she only plan on giving you part of the class time? Also, you've already seen the questions, and now have the night to go home and try solving the ones you did not finish. Maybe she is trying to think of how to rewrite the questions you did not finish. If you are unhappy with her answer to you, the best thing you could do would be to go after school and calmly talk to her about. Remember, you do not want to yell at her or call her names when you are doing this. It is important to go after school when other students are not around so she doesn't think you are trying to under mind her authority in front of your classmates (no teacher likes this!) Listen to her reasoning, and try to respect her decision (you may not agree with it, but as the teacher she does have final say).

Why did you not stay after class finishing up the test? I would be surprised if she does not let you make up the answers. What you could suggest is for her to allow you all to make up different problems than were on the test. I can see where she's coming from, though. You're having the entire weekend now to prepare for your test questions, when some people finished.

It depends on whether she is a mother f***er or not, but if she isn't I predict that she will. And if she doesn't just go to the principal or something. I don't know what the policy at your school is, but at mine is that you get the whole class to do a test (40 minutes), but some teachers let you have more time after.

Wait and see what she does. If she doesn't allow more time, discuss this with her after class. If that doesn't work, have your parents call.
