Today, after weeks of intense studying with the intent of pulling my grades up, I saw that in fact, they've all gone down. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, after I studied a lot of my time away and taking part in a test, my two friends got good grades, even though they didn't even study as much. Most of the time they did a lot of other stuff, and I don't know why my score isn't as good, and I'm not satisfied. FML
Today, after a conference with my teacher who had previously accused me of not doing my homework, she finally discovered she'd been losing it all this time. I've been getting straight Fs for a month. FML
Today, after having pulled like three all-nighters and studying hardcore for months, when it came down to it, I couldn't solve even one question. I almost broke down. 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 went in to take my College Placement tests. I'd spent all week ignoring actual homework to study for these tests. When I got there, the responsible told me that the tests were last week. FML
Today, I've been feeling like my efforts are never enough. I had 4 exams in one goddamn week, didn't sleep at all for 3 days studying, only to get completely demolished. The teachers put the most complicated problems as if they WANT us to fail. If I fail one class, I'm getting kicked out of my program. FML
Today, I walked into an exam after having stayed up 20 straight hours studying. The professor looked at me and muttered, "Don't bother, I'm failing you either way." FML
Today, the grades for one of my courses were released. The class average was higher than that which the department allowed, so the professor had to scale everyone's marks down to meet the policy. I ended up failing because my class was too smart. FML
Today, I've been forced to start packing to go on a vacation with my parents, because they say I've been studying too hard and need a break. I've hardly studied at all and was planning on making up for it all in the time I had left before finals. I'm screwed. FML
Today, I re-sat an expensive exam I'd flunked 6 months previously. The same impossible multiple choice questions appeared, which I'd been unable to find the answers to, even with all my textbooks and the internet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That happens to me too, so I don't study. I get better grades not studying than when I actually do, it's sad I know. Sorry OP it sucks but you'll pull through it :)

One of my teachers once told me to never study on the day of a test if you've already studied before (people like to reassure themselves/review what they already know), because you start to second guess yourself during the test. And I can honestly say that this is true from first hand experience :P

Similar issue here. No matter how much I studied, my grades would hardly change. I finally figured out the problem: I am ****ing awful at taking exams.

Shit happens. Don't stress youself out too much about it, stressing wont help your grades.

Try looking up good study habits, or ask someone. It just might be the way you're studying.

Aww, that sucks. I study for almost a week for my trigonometry tests and still haven't made above an 80% on any of my tests -__- I usually stress myself out by studying so much and it kind of backfires. I even tried a tutor and still failed a test!

18 and op. It may not work or everyone, but before every test I took in school I would completely stop studying 30 minutes to an hour before the test. When I did that, opposed to studying until it started I did significantly better. Good to give your mind a rest and take in what you have studied, and it helps you relax. Cramming can cause you to have a "brain dump" on the exam and forget everything. If you don't know it 30 minutes before the test you're not going to know it.

Thanks for the advice! My friend told me something similar to that. She said relax and have fun the day before the test to relieve some stress. But it's like the more I study, the more pressure I put on myself to do really good on the test...which stresses me out. So I'll try your advice.

Maybe it's just because the teachers were late on putting in grades from before you started studying hard? Either way that sucks, FYL
