Miscellaneous: Today, I finished my SAT and was feeling pretty good about it....

Today, I finished my SAT and was feeling pretty good about it. I decided to turn on my phone, since it was on silent. As the guy was collecting our tests, my phone vibrated a little. My score was cancelled. It was a text from my mom reminding me to turn off my phone. FML

Today, my entire junior class took the ACT. On the last test, a classmate's phone went off, automatically invalidating the whole test. We all have to retake it. FML

Today, I was taking the SAT and feeling really confident in my answers. When we were close to finishing, some idiot pulled the fire alarm. All of us have to retake it. FML

Today, my parents yelled at me for 10 minutes without letting me get a word in edgeways for getting a 48 on my test. They took my phone, unplugged my internet, and took my car keys. They wouldn't listen no matter how many times I told them, "It was out of 50". It actually was. FML

Today, my mom texted me in the middle of my end of term math exam, saying it was extremely urgent and needed me to come home ASAP. While skipping my exam, I finally got home to find out my mom forgot what the emergency was. FML

Today, I was giving a lecture to my class I heard a phone go off. Aggravated and exhausted, I asked everyone to turn their phones off. Then the phone rang again. I lost my shit and spent the next half hour calling my students a bunch of "technology whores". Then I realized the phone was mine. FML

Panic in the streets of London

By iiiiiiii - 22/06/2022 14:00

Today, like every day, everyone blew up my phone at once and I began having a panic attack. Because I didn’t respond immediately, I was called rude and a bad person. Turning off my phone isn’t an option either, because my mom will come in my room and cuss me out for not responding to her texts. FML

Today, I was taking a biology final and was just randomly tapping my pencil. My teacher thought I was somehow communicating with the person next to me, and decided to fail me. FML

Today, my school took part in a standardized state test. After finishing, I decided to take a nap, only to be awoken by the test monitor, who wanted me to leave. Apparently, I was ferociously farting in my sleep and was disturbing the people still taking the test. FML

Why would you ever, ever turn your phone on when still in the room? You deserve that twice.

you deserve that sooo much...they repeat over and over again DO NOT TURN YOUR PHONE ON UNTIL YOU LEAVE THE BUILDING, is it that hard to be away from your cell phone for two seconds in order to take one of the most important tests of your academic life??

Have you never taken one of those tests? PSAT, ACT, SAT, APs...the directions for all of them specifically say not to turn your phone on. Some tests, I think, even say not to have it in the room. Next time, don't even bring it in...it's not worth the risk. And you're lucky that only your scores got canceled, instead of the entire room's, because then you would have a bunch of other people pissed at you. With that being said, it does suck, especially considering what the text said. And I hate the SATs, and the College Board. But seriously. Next time, don't bring it in the room.

#2 What are you thinking? The OP completely deserves it! I took the SAT yesterday also, and I can't believe someone would be dumb enough to turn their phone on before leaving the room. It's ok though, because you probably would have scored less than 1700 anyway if you would do something like that. Your mistake just serves as an example to everyone to pay attention and THINK before they ACT.

YDI, with all the stress why on earth would you risk getting your test cancelled? Plus why were you so anxious to turn your phone on? What text could be so important that it couldn't wait until you got outside the room?! I wouldn't have even brought my phone into the exam just in case...

@ #73 my phone stays on silent when I turn it off as well. That way it does not make the noise when the phone turns on. If it was an older phone then I could see why this wouldn't make sense.

You're a dumbass. Never, NEVER turn on your phone while still in the testing room. When I was taking the ACT, some guy got kicked out for having his watch alarm go off. During a break. Now that's an FML. You, on the other had, deserve it. Better luck next time...

If it was on silent it WOULDN'T VIBRATE! idiot. Clearly you deserve it, and you're trying to change it to make people think you don't to get sympathy. You're pathetic.
