Today, my mother found out about the psychology exam I have to take tomorrow. Before leaving for her vacation this morning, she grabbed the internet router and took it with her to "get rid of distractions". I have one day to figure out how to access this online exam without Internet. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my neighbor finally password-protected his wifi. Right in the middle of my timed, online exam. FML
Today, my landlady cut off the Internet to my flat. She says she has no use for it, and doesn't want to keep it anymore. I have 3 online assignments due in the next week, and finals the following week. FML
Today, my mom texted me in the middle of my end of term math exam, saying it was extremely urgent and needed me to come home ASAP. While skipping my exam, I finally got home to find out my mom forgot what the emergency was. FML
Today, I asked my mom if she'd seen my financial calculator on my way out to an exam. She told me she'd tossed it in the donation pile that she'd taken to the Salvation Army this morning because it was "clutter." I needed it to take an exam required to pass the class, to graduate next month. The only place to buy a replacement was closed. FML
Today, I missed my history exam because they'd changed the day. Apparently they sent out an email to let everyone know. Too bad I'd banned myself from the internet in order to study for the exam. FML
Today, my mother decided to "help me" by throwing out the stack of papers on my desk. Unfortunately, those were all my notes for my final exams. 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 asked my mom to help my daughter with Zoom school while I handled an emergency. When I got back, I found out my mom went through my laptop containing all my documents, my emails and even the journal my therapist suggested I keep. She says she was looking for a Zoom link. Yeah right. FML
Today, my mom found out that I’ve been faking my exam grades, turning my 30s to 80s and 40s to 90s on the paper exams. She got access to my online student portal and saw my real grades. I'm grounded for the rest of the school year. FML
Today, I found out that yesterday's exam, which I left almost blank, had been leaked 3 hours prior. I hadn't been able to see it because my phone was out of juice. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That sucks. But maybe you can go somewhere like the library or something?

I take online summer psych courses and just moved out of my mom's. My internet hasn't gotten set up yet and I've regularly been going to the local McDonald's for Internet so I feel your pain, OP.

Bad luck OP! Fortunately theres a few options: personal hotspot on your phone and the library would be the way to go! Good luck with it!

Hey OP Internet cafe might be a bit loud so try a library or a friends house or if you can't do any of that call up your educational body and explain and see what they say.

And worst comes to worst you can buy a cheapo router and plug it in. Note that doesn't work for everyone and you will need your ISP ACCOUNT details.

Too bad she didn't take the modem instead, could have hard wired in. If you normally have class at that time, going to the school wouldn't be too big a deal to take it at a computer there, and you should be able to have your book and notes with you. (Assuming open book exam based on it being online)

I think you have those two mixed up. In a nutshell, the line of connectivity goes ISP - Modem - Router - PC

As well, many courses are strictly online. No class time and no face to face with teachers. So there may not be an option for taking the test this way.

#73, the class being online or not is irrelevant. You can still go to your school's library or a computer lab to take the exam. Unless OP is doing long distance learning... In which case the school may not be an option but there's still always the library!

You can connect with just a modem. As long as you have an Ethernet cord. Just most modems are also routers now, I'm assuming this one was. So check your facts before you try to act smart.

Try the library or friends house if you don't have a laptop. If you do try a cafe or a fast food place like McDonald's. You should probably make sure to buy some food though.

Damn, that sucks. She most likely assumed that the test would be on paper because to people her age, when a test is mentioned, the Internet does not come to mind. She should've talked to you about it before leaving. Good luck with your test.
