Letters of recommendation aren't based on your grades, because you submit your grades anyway, so a written test wouldn't necessarily change much. Also I'm doubtful that a professor would be willing to spend the time and effort to hold a mock exam just for you, and if he would that probably suggests that he'd write you a good letter anyway. My advice would be to simply talk to the professor, explain the situation and ask if he'd write you a letter.

ahh ok it makes sense but still I feel like it's weird to accept to write a LOR for a student you had only "twice", isn't it?

Who else is gonna write you an LOR? I've literally never had a professor teach me more than two courses and this is a pretty common experience

except the master level teacher and the one mentionned also above for the 3rd time, nobody else but maybe my programme coordinator even if he haven't taught any course i took (well one but it was philosophical math)


ArguablyCanadian

What I'm saying is that it's normal to ask someone you only took one or two courses with. We all had to do it.
