Today, I had my final economics exam, and needed to ace it, or else I would fail the entire module. After studying all day yesterday, and pulling an all-nighter today, I managed to pull it off and get a perfect score. Unfortunately, my teacher didn't believe that it was possible, and accused me of cheating. Now I may be thrown out of college. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got the best grade in class on my economics midterm. Rather than tell me I did a good job, my professor criticized me in front of everyone about how I was working "too hard". FML
Today, I cheated on my math exam. I still failed. FML
Today, I cheated on a math test by writing a couple of equations on my hand. Totally satisfied, I handed my test in, feeling like I had aced it. As I was heading toward the door, I happily waved goodbye to my teacher. She saw everything. FML
Today, I passed my math test with flying colors. My dad thought I had cheated, so he emailed the school and told them that I had. They lowered my grade. FML
Today, I was accused of cheating on our math test, instantly granting me a perfect zero. How? I used the wrong formula on a problem, but ended up with the correct answer. FML
Today, after burning all my past-papers, books and notes in celebration of finishing maths forever, I found out I have to re-take my maths exam to get the minimum grade for college. 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 had a surprise test for Economics. While taking the test, I put my head down so I could think. A while later, I awoke to the whole class turning in their test. I had to turn in my test incomplete. No questions answered, just my name, the date, and a pool of drool. 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 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You can't be thrown out of college unless she has proof, if you didn't cheat, she probably won't have proof. They might ask you take another test to prove you know the material, so be prepared for that.

I'd say the teacher has pretty good reason to be suspicious. 100% is almost impossible to achieve for students doing well, and you expect the teacher to believe you were failing her class and all of a sudden managed to get a PERFECT score even though you were up all night studying (which studies have shown leads to worse scores, not better)? I'm betting you cheated.

Man, I want your major. In most of my classes, I'm happy if I get a 60%. Course, a 60 would be in the 90th percentile of the class.

It's more that the classes are just really damned hard. Word to the wise: don't be a chem major.

Get the student handbook and find a good lawyer. The teacher can not expell you from the school without proof that you cheated. FYL

OP wasn't failing. Their grade was low enough that if they did badly then it would make them fail. also just because somebody might be failing a class doesn't make them lazy.

dude colleges have a thing called "student court", where a student can require a prof to convince a jury that the said cheating really happened. I think the jury won't buy this smoke about "not possible". and you don't need any lawyer

My teachers have tried to pull this crap with me. Just act completely insulted when they accuse you of cheating. Then again, I'm still in high school >.< 3 1/2 more months of hell.

They can't arbitrarily kick you out just because the professor thinks you're cheating. On the other hand, if someone who wasn't doing too well manages to get a perfect score on the final, that tends to raise some eyebrows. The majority of the time this sudden improvement can be attributed to cheating, so your professor's suspicions aren't unfounded. I'd say that either this thing will blow over, or you'll have to take another version of the exam. In the meantime, talk to your professor. You may be able to get over this thing without going through a lengthy administrative process.
