So to be clear, you're starting to freak out because you've missed something like 3 questions over the course of an entire semester. What is the rate at which you are missing questions (perhaps using units of "missed points per week") and how much time is left in the semester?

Yes, debt is serious business. Panicking over every single problem you get wrong is not conducive to you actually performing well. By spending as much intellectual power as you've apparently been spending fretting over this single problem (and your grade), you've probably lost opportunities to engage in the behaviors that *actually* impact your grades, such as focusing on learning course content, practicing appropriate study skills, and the added stress has probably lessened the impact of your studying in general.
I've seen high-strung grade-centric students before. Some of them are like time bombs that are always on the verge of self-implosion because "OMG THE BEST I CAN DO IS 97%??!??!" just isn't a good way to facilitate actual learning.
It's true I am extrapolating from my own experiences and you maybe really aren't like that. But from how you created this thread and the type of point you're trying to argue.... I feel like I've seen this movie before.
