Today, I had a giant Scantron test. After putting 10 answers, I noticed every single answer was A. I got freaked out and started putting random answers. Turns out every answer on the test was A. I failed. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I took my last final on a Scantron sheet with 200 multiple choice questions, with seconds to spare. When I finished the last question, I saw I had another bubble to fill in and I didn't know where I screwed up. 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 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 a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. 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 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
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 was in my psychology class taking the hardest test ever. After I spent most of the period trying to fill in the few answers that I knew, I looked up to see everyone with their notebooks on their desks. It was an open-note test. FML
Today, my math TA showed the class how one of her "dumb" students answered a test question. Everyone laughed as she wrote out the students answer, including myself, until I looked down at my answer sheet and saw that I submitted an identical answer. FML
Today, we had a surprise test at school. I was totally unprepared for any of it, so I BSd the whole thing and turned it in. A few minutes later, our teacher said we were allowed to use our notes to finish the test. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Ha being in school myself, I can tell you that taking a multiple choice test and getting one letter many times in a row is a scary thing. Even if you know what you're doing, getting all A's would scare anyone and shake their confidence

I feel for you man I freak out all the time when taking a test and I get the same letter time and time again. FYL bro people who say YDI are idiots and probably never passed a test anyways! Better luck next time man!!

When ever that happens the students can usually look around and secretly collaborate with each other to make sure they aren't getting trolled.

It's not neccessarily a matter of material. My psychology teacher did an admittedly cruel study where every answer was A, and EVERYONE failed. It goes against the human brain's perception of a "correct" answer sheet. The kicker? All of the questions were obviously A, yet everyone freaked out and started writing wrong answers just because answering all A looked wrong to them.

My mom did that to her college students, every answer was B. That's how they get you.

When answering questions, even if the thing looks wrong, the chance of your grade being better than randomly choosing it pretty high. Teachers do that btw to see how a student responds...

Hehe I had a teacher do that once... That's why you trust your instincts.

'A's' are the new 'C's'. No one informed you?

9, maybe I'm crazy, but it can be quite fun to mess with student's minds.
