Today, I had a Chinese test. Our teacher decided to wait until yesterday to tell us about it because she "knew" we wouldn't study anyway and she didn't want to stress us out. I'm pretty sure I failed. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my English teacher told me that I failed my grammar test. Her exact words were "You ain't gonna pass this class if you ain't gonna study." FML
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
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, 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 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, 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, I walked into an exam after having stayed up 20 straight hours studying. The professor looked at me and muttered, "Don't bother, I'm failing you either way." FML
Today, I convinced my teacher to let me resit a very important test I failed. I got a lower score the second time around. FML
Today, I had a maths test and I realised that I'd studied the wrong topics. The teacher said the test would be difficult and I stayed up till 1 a.m. just to be prepared. FML
Today, I took my Spanish test, and I felt very confident. I got the test back later, and saw my teacher had written on it: "Congrats on the 94%, but I know you cheated." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Pretty big assumption from your teacher to say nobody would study. There are people who never study, but everyone should be given a chance to succeed and try his/her best.

Surprise test = surprise fail. Maybe that's what you should have written on your test. In Chinese.

It wasn't necessarily a language class. Chinese is not a language.

@12, Am I missing something?

I think #12 meant that Chinese is also a culture, not just a language. So it could have been a class on Chinese culture. That said, usually only language classes are referred to that way- if it were a Chinese Culture or Chinese History class, it probably would have been referred to as such.

#12, the person did not specify if it was a language class or not. While I am aware that there are two types of Chinese language, Cantonese and Mandarin, the former is not generally taught in schools or universities. As a result, many schools actually do name their courses in Mandarin "Chinese" and in American culture saying "in Chinese" is a perfectly acceptable phrase to signify "in the Chinese language" which, again, usually refers to Mandarin.

12, Chinese actually *is* a language. Mandarin and Cantonese are dialects of Chinese. Most Chinese people, though, will just say they speak Chinese.

Tell her to join the Far Qu.

Hopefully she puts a curve on it

Maybe tell her that you would've studied if you had known about the test longer? Pull on them heart strings, and I hope you get your grade up OP!

There is no "Chinese" language
tarlax 11
"Chinese" is what most people call Mandarin. Get over it, smarty pants.

You should complain that's not fair

It wasn't quite a pop quiz -- you did have a day's notice. Did you study in that time?
GhostFox 34
You can only study so much in a day, and chances are what you study will have poor retention. Especially if it was a class ongoing from Fall of 2015 and a commulative test.
Bibliovore 26
Correct, you can only study so much in a day -- but if you never study until you know there's going to be a test, you won't learn or retain as much, as you just noted. My high-school Spanish teacher made clear that there would be pop quizzes, and that we were responsible for learning the material we covered in class and would need to know it for the pop quizzes. We studied. People who had her remembered their Spanish better and longer than people who had the school's other Spanish teachers.
