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, before going to bed my phone lit up and I got all excited because I thought it was a text message. My phone was finished charging. 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??

You couldn't wait 10 minutes to turn your phone on? You deserved that one. Have fun taking it again. And next time, leave your phone at home.

P.S. #39, they don't trust kids because kids are not trustworthy. High schoolers have tried to cheat in almost every way imaginable, and there's nothing about this situation that would make it look any different to a proctor. Even if you really wouldn't cheat, how the hell should they know? I didn't trust teenagers when I WAS one. Wake up and smell the coffee, O Naive One.

You totally deserved that. They don't tell you not to turn your phone on until you leave the building just for fun... they actually mean that. You couldn't have lived another 5 minutes without your phone? God forbid you got a text message and replied to it ten minutes late... that would be a tragedy.

fail. seriously? like three more minutes wouldn't have killed you? you're lucky that they didn't cancel EVERYONE'S score, since that is actually the policy i think. high five.

@#58: Because it's standard practice for cell phone companies (and stupid people) to believe that a vibrating phone is silent. "It's not ringing, right? What more do you want?"

The deadline for the June SATs is in 2 days and if you think you did well on the last one, you'll do just as well (if not better) on this one. This time, don't turn on your phone until your outside. To be way precautious, I usually put my phone on silent, turn it off, and take the battery out. Be smart. Don't take chances like that because if you get caught again, you're just wasting your time.
