Reached my limit

By stuckonrepeat - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United Kingdom

Today, I received the results of the exams that I re-took in order to improve my grades. I got exactly the same grades as before in all four exams. Point for point identical. FML

Sucks to be you, study more next time they let you re-take a test. I find that helps

At least you didn't do worse

It's not university, today was a level and Gcse results day.

Don't use the test you did bad on to study/cheat either...

Why? You've probably never ever had this happen to you..

I actually have :D and even after going to tutorials and stuff after school, still got the EXACT same score. Tried again? Got one point higher. After that I just decided to leave it alone.

I hate when people on the Internet know your life better than you do. Should pay more attention!

I’ve had it happen too! One time it would’ve been a perfect score, but the answer sheet the teacher used was actually wrong. Took half a year to find that out. I was the one that found the issue, but it was too late. Side note: I hate those damn texas monopolies on textbooks.

The "sarcasm" part just ruins your comment

Supposed to study harder the 2nd time... #DumbAss

The fact that they bothered to retake the test at all implies that they did study it harder the second time around in order to do better.

In this case it doesn't imply that , because if they had actually studied harder they would have given different answers for some things a least, instead of giving the exact answer they did the first time ..(y)

For all you know, the OP COULD have studied harder, but still didn't understand some of the concepts and ended up with the same score, or they second guessed themselves on the test and tried not to use the same answers they did last time.

22- They don't ask the exact same questions. Every paper is quite different, especially consecutive papers.

I assumed it did ask the same questions from the wording of the FML. And I know a lot of people who retake tests and don't study harder the 2nd time.

IT ISN'T? WHERE THE **** AM I? WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!

They're from England and it was results day today for A-levels. If they re-took a paper then the questions would not have been the same

Just because FML's say today doesn't mean it actually happened today. Chances are that it didn't.

Last time I checked, this wasn't Twitter. ;-;

^ Last time I checked, someone already posted that comment in this thread...

My ma course had same questions if someone failed a test.. -.- ba as well.. But I think they were just to lazy to give a shit bout changing anything.

Probably no extra points for consistency

At least you didn't get one point less than last time like someone someone I could mention -_-

They Might have not wanted to grade them again.
