Today, I accidentally left my textbook at home. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but today was my class final. Since it was an open-book final, I'd decided not to study for it. I'm pretty sure I failed. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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 have a final for my precalculus class. After hours of studying this week, I felt pretty optimistic. Until I got to class and realized that I'd forgotten my calculator. FML
Today, I took a final for my law class. As I was taking the test, I noticed the girl on my left copying off me. I wrote all the wrong answers on my sheet while writing the correct answers on my desk hoping she would copy the wrong answers down. I forgot to write the correct answers on my test. 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 took my binder on a short road trip two hours away from my home, so that I could study for my upcoming finals. When I got home, I realized I that had left my binder all the way there, containing my notes, classwork, homework, finals notes, etc. FML
Today, I turned in my homework. Too bad I accidentally handed in the printed answer sheet I found online to copy from. FML
Today, I had a very hard and long exam and I was completely prepared for it. I was so confident in my abilities and I'd studied really hard. When I entered the exam hall and took the paper, I realized that I had forgotten to bring my calculator. FML
Today, I had my end of year physics exam. I wasn't sure about some stuff, so I hid my notes and textbook in the bathroom. Halfway through, I got up, went to the bathroom, and as soon as I picked up the book, forgot what I was looking for. I can't even cheat right. FML
Today, after having spent all of last night studying for an algebra test, I find out that the test was on a completely different chapter of my textbook. FML
Today, I took a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. FML

Wow, that's kind of ballsy. I always study for open book tests and put little sticky notes in the most important parts for quick reference.

you should always study or at least reveiw the chapter the day before to make sure you know the material because open book tests always means its gonna be harder than a normal test.

Well if you are that dumb, you would have even managed to fail the openbook final with your book, I guess.

Even if the test was open notes still study, it will save you time. You'd have more time to answer the questions instead of flipping through pages to find the answer.

I know how you feel. It happened to my friend and Today I have an open book and I haven't done any studying because I was studying for another exam which I am sure I failed. So I will be screwed.

I had a teacher who made all of our tests open note but told us to study because we wouldn't have time to look up every answer. I studied and always had my notes, no missing spaces, but always made a B or C. So even if you had the book, you still might have failed. Especially if the instructor likes to put things on a test that was talked about in class but not in the book.

Just because something is open-book doesn't mean you shouldn't study for it. Because unfortunate things like that can (and in your case did) happen. Better luck next time, OP.
