Today, I failed my trigonometry exam because my scientific calculator was on the wrong setting. FML

You had it set to "radian" when you wanted "degree" am I right?

LOL dumbass. How did you not notice how wrong the answers clearly were??

If you didn't notice, chances are you would have failed the exam anyway.

using a calculator isnt necessarily cheating. plenty of teachers will let you use a calculator on a test.

176 - Using the scientific calculator and solving trig with AND without the calculator are all involved in a trig test. Clearly you haven't reached this stage yet, or else you would know that for most trig tests, calculators are required.

I know how you feel. I have done the same thing

Did you think to check it first genius?!

lemme guess, you were in degree instead of radians
