Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I got a question wrong on an exam. The question started with, "In your opinion..." FML
Today, while I was taking a test in class, there was a question that had everyone stumped. After what seemed like forever, the teacher finally noticed and said he'd typed the question wrong. I spent more than half the time I had to complete the test on a question that wasn't even written correctly. Yes, I failed. FML
Today, I took a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. FML
Today, I was taking a test and thought I was doing great until I realized I was writing all my answers on the question paper, not the answer sheet. By the time I noticed, there were only five minutes left. FML
Today, I took an exam, for which I have been studying for weeks, I was confident at first, but then really struggled with it. I finished with about ten minutes to spare, turned to what I thought would be the end of my paper and found the first page of questions I was supposed to have answered. FML
Today, I found out that I have been studying for the wrong final exam. One more hour until the test. FML
Today, I realized I had misspelled "Education" on all the resumes I've been submitting. FML
Today, after I took my first set of exams, my professor posted on Twitter, scoffing at how stupid one student's answer was. The answer he quoted was one that I wrote. FML
Today, I got my results on a recent, important midterm. During the exam, I'd noticed my instructor had accidentally left an answers page in the test packet, so being honest, I didn't look at them. It turns out she did it on purpose to help us pass. I failed. FML
Today, I lost a grade on an essay, because according to my teacher, I put much more detail into my analytical essay than I should have. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe you'll get points for interpreting it a different way, you can always hope...

ouch! I know you must be nervous, but with stakes that high you should read even more closely.

That sucks. I have a hard time with essay questions too, so I feel for you there. Except my career has never depended on it. FYL

Maybe you should have spent more time reading the question if the answer carries that much weight in your life. What if it had been a life or death problem? "I misread the question" isn't going to mean much to a jury or the victim (s)

As just a normal person, I also found that analogy awful.

I'm actually curious to read the essay and the essay question and I'd like to know how you read the question. It seems like it would ask be interesting

I did that once. It was awful. I ended up destroying my gpa because of one question on one exam.
