A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I have a final for my precalculus class. After hours of studying this week, I felt pretty optimistic. Until I got to class and realized that I'd forgotten my calculator. FML

Today, a few people in my class used calculators on the math final exam, even though it clearly stated at the top that they weren't allowed. The teacher found out, and now everyone has to retake the 200-question exam. I didn't even use a calculator. FML

Today, I had the worst day of my life. I'd studied science for the whole damn night, only to realize the next morning that it's a math exam. FML

Today, I had a very hard and long exam and I was completely prepared for it. I was so confident in my abilities and I'd studied really hard. When I entered the exam hall and took the paper, I realized that I had forgotten to bring my calculator. FML

Today, I reached my exam center late after taking the wrong metro twice, only to find out that I forgot my calculator at home. FML

Today, I missed points on a math quiz because I thought 2 times 5 was 20. I'm a math major. FML

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

Who are you calling random?!
Today, I failed a calculus exam because I simply was too burnt out to study for it. I have not wanted to even look at a math problem since the beginning of the year, and I procrastinate all day instead of doing work, and it leads me here, typing at 2 a.m. to random strangers while having to get up tomorrow at 7.

Today, after having spent all of last night studying for an algebra test, I find out that the test was on a completely different chapter of my textbook. FML

If you didn't notice, chances are you would have failed the exam anyway.

using a calculator isnt necessarily cheating. plenty of teachers will let you use a calculator on a test.

176 - Using the scientific calculator and solving trig with AND without the calculator are all involved in a trig test. Clearly you haven't reached this stage yet, or else you would know that for most trig tests, calculators are required.
