Today, I asked my classmate if she was ready for the final tomorrow and she said it was yesterday. I'm not a bad student - I have 90+ average in the class - but the final was 50% of my grade. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finished an exam in physics class. It counts for 40% of our grade. As I handed my paper in to my teacher, she said to the whole class while talking about me, "You did this wrong; this isn't how you do it." FML
Today, I found out I got a 97 on my physics final exam. I was curious about the question I missed, so I went up to my teacher and asked. He was very confused and checked my grade again before telling me, "Oh my bad, it was meant to be a 79." FML
Today, the final for a class I'm in is taught by a decrepit old man who apparently has a flunk-out reputation. He spent the entire previous class making a study guide for the final exam, emphasizing, "THIS is on the exam. Know THIS." I studied it hard. Absolutely none of it was on the exam. Everyone failed. FML
Today, I got my precalculus final back from my teacher. I got a 17%. I told her that there had to be some mistake, because my classmate had the same answers as me and she got 100%. Not only did I accidentally admit to cheating, but our test papers had different questions. FML
Today I woke up feeling good and ready for my online business class final, only to find that it had somehow been submitted and graded with a zero. FML
Today, I discovered that when my professor had said "For every A there will be an F," he was deadly serious. I earned a 94% mark, which in this class is known as a D. 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, I've been making extremely good progress in my online class. Or at least… I was, until the deadline to complete it was suddenly pushed a whole month forward, causing me to be "behind." Then my teacher had the nerve to email me, telling me I needed to catch up. FML
Today, I saw a person in my class completing a project that was due two periods later and that they had just started in the bathroom. They got a better grade than me. FML
Today, the grades for one of my courses were released. The class average was higher than that which the department allowed, so the professor had to scale everyone's marks down to meet the policy. I ended up failing because my class was too smart. FML

Twice a week classes are a thing. With one day in between, it could easily be a Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday class. Some professors give you the day before the final off to study, or maybe something happened and they thought they just missed class and actually missed the final. If finals are happening the last week of school, it's not entirely strange if they assumed their final was on Thursday when it was actually on Tuesday. Whether or not this qualifies for a re-take depends on the professor, but this seems like a believable ****-up to me.

You definitely deserved it.

How rude of you to say that. What if you were in that position?

You should have gone to class or put the date in your phone to remind you.

So I guess you could have missed everything else over the whole year in regards to credit but just remembered this one day, nailed the exam and be in the same position? You should have remembered this date.

That happened to me in college once - a day late to the final. I immediately contacted the teacher and explained what happened. They let me take the same final with another class. Do not wait! Contact your teacher.

You got very lucky. Most teachers would only let you retake an exam if you have a valid excuse. And saying that you forgot what day it was on is not a valid excuse.

Isn't the point of a test to demonstrate what you learned? Why would you not be allowed to demonstrate what you learned during the course just because you missad a date?

Many times for higher up courses, professors make only one final and all sections take it at the same time. If you're a day late, the professor can't be sure that they're testing your knowledge since a classmate who took the class may have given answers. Usually, if you're late to a final, you won't be allowed in if a person has already left. It's for this reason. There's really no reason to miss a final due to a date screwup so no real sympathy here.

Because college is also about learning to be responsible. Forgetting the date of an important exam is hardly being responsible.

Being a good student, you should know that your grade in the class is now 45+%

Unless it was not your usual class time, YDI for not going to class.
