Today, I took an exam in order to apply for a graduate program I want to get into. Last night, my boyfriend decided it was a good time to break up with me out of the blue. I broke down three times in the middle of the test, and I just barely failed it. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, the night before an exam, I found out my boyfriend of one and a half years was cheating on me with a girl who has the same name as me. Not only that, I ended up consoling her for hours as she cried over him. FML
Today, my boyfriend's proposal speech somehow ended with him breaking up with me. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, right after I turned down an amazing job opportunity in another location, just so I could be with him. FML
Today, I was making out with my boyfriend. When we took a break and went downstairs, he checked the mail. He had received a letter from his ex-girlfriend, which he opened in front of me. He then began sobbing on my shoulder and broke up with me. He still had to drive me home. FML
Today, I found out my fiancé has been cheating on me for the past six months. I have a final tomorrow and have been busy crying, so guess I'll just have to fail. FML
Today, after dropping a class for the first time ever in college in order to focus on raising my grades, I failed the test that I dropped another course to study for. By not finishing on time. After 3 days of studying. FML
Today, I'd been getting ready to hear my boyfriend's proposal, as his friends had told me he'd talked to them about planning it. He showed up at my house out of the blue… to tell me he's breaking up with me, only to find out he proposed to his ex hours later. FML
Today, after my boyfriend broke up with me and I'd chained-smoked all night, I had a driving test. With only 3 hours of sleep, I literally drove through a red light during the test. FML
Today, my boyfriend jokingly said that if I didn't pass my exam, he wouldn't have sex with me for a month. I failed it, and now he thinks I did it on purpose. FML
Today, I had a mental breakdown. Many things have been going completely wrong in my life, and I finally decided to let my boyfriend know about it. After about an hour of explaining and pouring my heart out, his response was, "I think we were better off as friends." FML

I think you should've been able to separate emotion from the test. I'm going to get thumbed down for this, but whatever.

It's not his fault that you failed the test, it's yours. I don't care if I get thumbed down, because you deserve it. It's not him, it's you.

...You DO realize she didn't fail because she didn't study? She failed because she broke down during the exam (i.e. was too upset to focus) because he broke up with her the previous night. Maybe breakups don't disturb YOU emotionally, but they do upset other people. Would you do well on an exam if YOU were really upset? Probably not. Don't believe me? How well would you do on an exam if, for example, your parent/sibling/best friend/family pet/someone else you cared about died the night before you had an exam? Wouldn't you be too upset to concentrate?

That's quite an extreme example. We're talking about a breakup here, not death. If it really meant so much to her she should've been able to compose herself for her future.

I think it's important to remember that not everyone reacts the same way to break-ups or grief. What may hurt one person to distraction, may not have the same effect on another person. It all depends.

If the online test was anything as difficult as the ones we have to do for graduate schemes in the UK I completely sympathise. They're difficult enough to do at the best of times, let alone when you're mentally fragile after a break up. Best revenge you can get is to secure a better job!

Aw, sorry to hear that OP. :( Don't worry, you'll feel good again soon. Just give it time. For now, find good ways to occupy your days and your mind. Do things that bring you joy. :) As for the test, I hope you can retake it! Good luck OP. Don't let this setback bring you down too hard. As for me, I'm going to go throw a brick at your ex's face...brb..

That really sucks :( I never such a shitty situation happen right before a test, but I was depressed for a while so test taking sucked. Once I started having a bit of an anxiety attack during a test. It had nothing to do with the test or school or anything ( I'm usually a good test taker) but it happened during a test so I asked to go to the bathroom. At that point I wasn't cutting as much as before, plus I didn't think it would have helped at the moment, so I tried something new: I tried to make myself puke, just to shock me out of the anxiety. I know it was stupid but I was in a rush to get back to taking the test. Things get better though! Even if it doesn't work out, you'll feel better eventually. Things haven't worked out for me yet but things did get better. As you get older and experience that kind of terrible stuff, you'll learn more about yourself and how to get better. I hope you feel better soon!
