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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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 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 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 failed my trigonometry exam because my scientific calculator was on the wrong setting. FML
Today, I found out that I've been taking the wrong math class all semester. We're only a few weeks from finals and I have no drops left. FML
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. 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 multivariable calc final back, only to realize that the ten points I got off was for putting 10 + 15 = 35 on a problem. My teacher wrote ten question marks and “No???? 25???? :(“ next to it. FML
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

You didn't calculate a good exam plan, OP, but I won't go off on a tangent...

I'm in Differential Equations and we're not allowed to use calculators. I think you'll be alright doing your trig identities in precalc.

We aren't permitted to use calculators at all in my precalculus class.

My teacher for precalc and calc 1 refused to let us use calculators. She was one of the best teachers I've ever had for actually teaching us how to think instead of relying on technology to do everything for us. Those skills were invaluable when I got to college.

What the **** is pre-Calculus anyways? You take algebra, trig and geometry, then go into calculus. Pre-calc is a waste of time.

In many US schools, trig is a segment of pre-calc. Before college I took Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Precalc, and Calculus. Precalc was pretty much all of trig, some limits, more properties of logarithms, factoring and solving things bigger than cubics, etc.

I am assuming you are using an iPhone or iPod to post this why didn't you use it?

Why would you assume that? No sane teacher would let their students use anything that has access to the Internet anyway, because then they could google how to do a problem.

You'd get disqualified.

Hope you don't plan on taking the GMAT anytime soon, cuz no calculator for that.

You don't need a calc as much for calculus... They mostly use letters to represent the variables.. And if they use actual numbers substitute them for letters, work out and when u reach the simplified answer substitute the numbers back in... U lose 1 mark or 2
