Today, four hours before a test, I received an email from my professor saying that the test had been canceled. When I checked my email again before bed, I found another email from my professor saying that his email had been hacked and the test was was still on. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my professor cancelled class so I turned off my alarm. When I woke up, I checked my email again. There was no email from my professor. It was a dream. FML
Today, after constantly checking my email for a week, I finally got a letter saying that I was accepted to take a test for a job position. The only problem is I was scheduled to test today, eight hours ago. FML
Today, I called out "for personal reasons" from work because I had to study for a major test that's taking place tomorrow. An hour later, my manager called to fire me for "not taking work seriously." I then got an email telling me that the test was being postponed. FML
Today, I was supposed to take a test, but the professor didn't have it ready because he went to a concert last night. I sold my own tickets to that very concert in order to study for the test. 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, I tried to turn in a final exam online. When I went to check if it had been submitted, Blackboard told me it did. My grade told a different story. FML
Today, I went in to take my College Placement tests. I'd spent all week ignoring actual homework to study for these tests. When I got there, the responsible told me that the tests were last week. FML
Today, after telling a student that she had to take the online test on the date that I had assigned, she whined to the vice president of the college, who then told my dean that he needed to do something about it. She made me offer testing days on multiple dates. So much for integrity. 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
Today, I got cited for "internet plagiarism" and called to the dean's office. I'd been sitting a closed-book written exam, and my teacher had been breathing down my neck the whole time. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Should the professor not be sympathetic due to the fact nobody lives on their emails anymore? I think he should postpone the test.

The professor basically has to offer a second sitting of the test (but not for the hacker, if found), especially since he acknowledged the counterfeit email in his follow-up email.

I'm a uni student and I check my e-mails at least once a day most days. Not obsessively but if I'm on the computer I'll check them. We had a similar situation once during the ash clouds last Easter. The lecturer for a practical couldn't make it so they cancelled it at 9, the practical was at 1. Luckily I rechecked my e-mail before 1 and saw the e-mail they sent at 10.30 saying it was back on but a lot of people didn't. I don't know what they did about it but I know a lot of people who saw the first e-mail and decided to go out for the day since it was nice weather. OP, I hope they sorted it out so you could retake it. It's not your fault you didn't check it in those 4 hours.

Why were you going to bed four minutes before a test?

They weren't. The FML said they received the email 4 HOURS before the test and that they didn't check their email AGAIN until before bed.

If it was a spelling test then you should be glad it got "canceled".

"Canceled" is a perfectly acceptable alternate spelling of "cancelled." It's more common in American English. I work with customer purchase orders for a living. "Canceled" is by far more common than "Cancelled" when customers ask not to have their orders processed.
