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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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
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 took a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. 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 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, I was taking a final test online that would account for 65% of my final grade, for which I'd worked extremely hard. I had one submission for the test, and my roommate thought it would be funny to click the "Submit All" Button while I was getting a glass of water. I got a 13%. FML
Today, a few people in my class used calculators on the math final exam, even though it clearly stated at the top that they weren't allowed. The teacher found out, and now everyone has to retake the 200-question exam. I didn't even use a calculator. 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

My english teacher from college said the same thing. My grandma actually did pass away my second year of college and I had a math teacher tell me I couldn't hand the work in after the funeral. So I had to sit there and do as much as I could after class one day, so I could leave for a 10 hour drive to her funeral the next day. It made me so mad because I had always been a good student and she didn't cut me any slack-wouldn't even let me e-mail the chapter outlines to her. Anyway, FYL OP. I've been there and done that, but never to that extent, usually it only happened on a small portion. Also, no idea if you did this or not, but on multiple choice tests I always fight the urge to stay on a question I'm stuck on. I do all the ones I know for sure, then circle the numbers I needed to go back to. It helped because even if I rushed in the end, at least the ones I had filled in were probably right.

Eh, yea I got kind of side tracked. That comment just reminded me of how much I hate it when people fake a death in the family to get an extension on work. Too many people do it and then the professors don't believe the people who are telling the truth.

That is a personal nightmare of mine. Hopefully it was near the end that things got off and not somewhere in the middle or beginning!
