Is this fair?

So I get back my first Western Civilation test today and I got a 60/100... I was hoping for a high C to a low B. The test is worth 25% of our grade and there are 2 more we have to take this semester.

This is where I have a problem... My teacher says that one of his students received a 6/100 on the test. He's like, "what are you going to do with 6% when it's worth 1/4th of your grade... so I give everyone who gets an F a 59%." This means that if I had wrote down the wrong answer to every question and wrote completley false information in the essay section I woulda gotten 1% lower.

I'll be glad to post my essay and my questions I answered so you can look at them. I really don't believe I deserved 1% higher than a person who got 6/100.

Thoughts?

If any of you are good at this stuff (early to 1700) I'd really appreciate it if you could evaluate what I wrote so I can get a better grade next time.
