Point Grab

The practice of asking for points back on an assignment or test, usually because of incorrect grading or an arguable question, but sometimes just because the student needs a higher grade (most often practiced by Asians and AP Chemistry students). Often results in teacher frustration or random comments.

Jacob: Wait! Couldn't number 4 be D?
Kevin: Um, I thought CN- was a strong base?
Amin: Wtf, number 24 is 11.30...
Ling: Huh, I got this one right, I want my points back.

Ling: Darn, you foiled my plan.
