Today, I got my results on a recent, important midterm. During the exam, I'd noticed my instructor had accidentally left an answers page in the test packet, so being honest, I didn't look at them. It turns out she did it on purpose to help us pass. I failed. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I made a multiple choice exam so my friend could practice and get a good grade on his real exam. While I was helping him finish it, the teacher saw it, thought we were cheating and failed us both. FML
Today, while I was taking a test in class, there was a question that had everyone stumped. After what seemed like forever, the teacher finally noticed and said he'd typed the question wrong. I spent more than half the time I had to complete the test on a question that wasn't even written correctly. Yes, I failed. FML
Today, I took a final for my law class. As I was taking the test, I noticed the girl on my left copying off me. I wrote all the wrong answers on my sheet while writing the correct answers on my desk hoping she would copy the wrong answers down. I forgot to write the correct answers on my test. FML
Today, I took a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. FML
Today, I found out I've miserably failed a college exam. My friend had agreed to pass me answers if I needed them, since I've hardly studied this year. We were on the phone when she said, "Oh, those answers were bullshit. Serves you right, huh?" 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 found out that my entire class, me included, has to rewrite the painfully difficult midterm we wrote last week. All this because the Professor left the exams strewn across her desk. The cleaners thought it was trash and disposed of them. FML
Today, I accidentally left my textbook at home. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but today was my class final. Since it was an open-book final, I'd decided not to study for it. I'm pretty sure I failed. FML
Today, I turned in my homework. Too bad I accidentally handed in the printed answer sheet I found online to copy from. FML
Today, I came to school really sick because I had to take an important exam. After I finally finished, I accidentally sneezed on my answer sheet right before turning it in. The teacher refused to take it. FML

I wonder what the dean/principal/program director or other appropriate authority in the school would have to say about those testing methods......

Well I doubt OP failed just because they were honest. Maybe a little more studying should have been in order.

Why did you not just turn it in? Say I found this in my test booklet.

Actually, if you were really honest, you would have taken the answer sheet to the teacher. Once you realized it was an answer sheet, you saw some of the answers, so you had an unfair advantage by then (as far as you knew.)

You must have missed a class or something where that was explained. How else could you have been the only one who didn't use the answers?

I'm genuinely confused.

It is refreshing to find out there people like you. Being honest is not a shame and I applaud your actions. Now you know you just need a little more studying before taking your tests :)

Don't listen to these guys, OP! You did the right thing and you will be rewarded later in life-your honesty is a good habit that will pay off for you in the long run! I hate to sound preachy, but it disturbs me how so many people are not taught/dont' espouse basic traits like decency, honesty, and so on!
