Today, after burning all my past-papers, books and notes in celebration of finishing maths forever, I found out I have to re-take my maths exam to get the minimum grade for college. FML

Why do so many people think they can just throw away or destroy their papers and stuff when they THINK they are done? Keep hold of crap for 6 months before tossing it just to make sure.

Why would you burn your books? You can probably get money for those! I mean burning your notes is dumb enough...

I still have my old Biology textbook from one of the hardest summer Bio classes ever. It's like a trophy. But then again, I'm a packrat.

obviously weren't great notes if you have to resit... gives you a chance to start over...

"Maths"? Really? That's not even a word.

116 can you not see OP is from Malaysia? Not everyone speaks/writes English very well. Get over it.

Actually there are some instances where maths is the correct word. Get ****** 116.

Why would op think they were done? If college is the plan, there are bound to be mandatory math classes for pretty much any major but liberal arts.

They probably just took their last final and figured they were done. I guess they didn't take into account FAILING one of those finals. Oh well. There are some online sites that can be very helpful, or just ask a friend who didn't burn their stuff... But this is so something I would have done, seriously, I tried. I wanted to burn this book I had to read for school when we were done with it, my mom wouldn't let me. Turns out I need the book this year so I'm glad she didn't let me burn it. Though it’s definitely going after this semester....

let me guess... u just did ur SPM? I'd keep those books hun, keep em!

Jackieeee93- Well, I am not going to throw mine away, ever. I love math. I'm not doing so good in it right now because of my talkative instinct with my bestie, but still. I am in 7th grade but when I think I'm done, I'm still keeping my math stuff. Plus it said she already burned and tossed them so she can't keep them anymore nor can she get them back.

Not saying it was not stupid, but as someone who attends school in SE Asia, college/high school text books are generally either cheap or, sometimes, free. They are usually pretty worthless by the time one is finished using them. Either way, it was dumb.

Why the hell did you burn them? That was utterly inane.

The same thing happened to me. I hated high school so much that I just destroyed everything to do with it. Then had to resit maths in college. It wasn't that bad though, they provided me with new books and stuff.
