Green Bay, WI―At home with his family on Monday, one spectacularly misinformed student told relatives, “I feel good about that econ final.” This announcement, though completely unfounded was met warmly from all assembled, with one uncle, alleged to be a Wall Street banker, going so far as to jokingly offer a position to his sadly optimistic nephew.

Lulled into a false sense of security by the cunning subtlety of the examination, the profoundly misinformed pupil is estimated to have attained no more that a generous maximum of seventy percent on said final.

The GW Ax had a chance to catch up with Arthur Beckt, the man behind the exam in question and ultimate arbiter of all related grades.

“From the what I’ve seen of his test so far, this boy is living in more than a bit of a fantasy world,” Beckt told reporters from the Ax, adding that “he’ll only be able to ride the curve so far; the idea of him even being able to touch a B+ in this class is an absolute fallacy by this point.”

Uncited sources claim that the woefully incorrect academic plans to continue yucking it up to family and friends about his high-hopes for this grade for the remainder of the foreseeable future, though these reports have yet to be corroborated.

At press time this fantastically wrong young man was none the wiser about the brewing storm on his academic horizon. Reports that as many as two entire discussion sections are laboring under the same vain delusion continue to trickle in It is the sincerest hope of the Ax that all parties involved will emerge from this experience merely battered, but unbroken.
