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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's why I always triple check the date, time, and location of my exams--daily!

Did you get to retake the exam? I hope so!

Being a good student and not knowing the date of your final are at odds with each other.

I knew when my final was weeks in advance, for all my classes. What kind of college do you attend?

I'm gonna say this: Teachers that make the final exam count for more than 35 percent of the students total grade are lazy, incompetent, cruel, bad at being a teacher or all of the above. If a student has to get 100's on literally every assignment in order to NOT FAIL if they miss the exam or do poorly, that is a ****** up grading system and that teacher needs a ******* kick to rear. It's the sort of shit that causes academic burnout, and they should have to go face to face with the issues they cause.

This strongly reminds me of this picture of a chat history that's all over the Internet right now.

Unless the date has been changed, miss-printed somewhere or someone told you the wrong date you really don't have an excuse.

Professor's don't like to flunk A students so they'll probably let you take it for the bare minimum that will allow you to pass.

So, where were you when the finals were going on? Wouldn't you have been in the classroom and realized everyone was taking a test?

go and talk to the teacher/prof. there must be a way to retake the exam. Imagine, if someone has fever, diarhea, and vomits and can't make it to the exam. he get's -50% because of some virus?
