@paulf9765 I wonder it’s more commonly used in formal writing rather than one’s journal. Like instead of saying “I felt relieved that the test result proved fairly good”, people would more like say “I felt relieved that the test result turned out to be fairly good.”?

Definitely it's more formal. And even in formal writing I wouldn't use for a test result, not sure why it doesn't work there.
