Today, after finishing a two hour essay exam that will determine the future of my career, I realized I misread the question. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

Being way off may hurt you but different interpretation can give you creativity points or for that matter they may have you redo the question

Sometimes things like that happen and you feel like you screwed everything up. But I know a guy who couldn't enrol at a uni he wanted just because he was a single point short in total amount of points needed. He decided to pick a completely different subject and in following years he found a thing he loves in that field. So all went better than expected :D If a plan fails, just try something else without resentment. It might work out even better. Keep your chin up

Hopefully your well thought out and brilliant essay will dazzle the grader long enough to make him/her forget what the question was also

I'm sorry for you, OP. I did the IB exam as well today. Kept frantically checking if I really understood the question. Which question did you choose?

They blocked Facebook in China but not FML? But that's Western influence! (Go ahead and hate)
