Today, I re-sat an expensive exam I'd flunked 6 months previously. The same impossible multiple choice questions appeared, which I'd been unable to find the answers to, even with all my textbooks and the internet. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I took a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. 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 an exam, for which I have been studying for weeks, I was confident at first, but then really struggled with it. I finished with about ten minutes to spare, turned to what I thought would be the end of my paper and found the first page of questions I was supposed to have answered. 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, 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 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 failed my maths exam because of one single question, which I have been practicing for months and gotten very good at it. It was the first question… however, when the exam started, I forgot it all. FML
Today, I was reviewing for a major nursing school exam I have this week. I panicked because none of the material seemed familiar, and figured that I must've missed something during class and now had to catch up. After 4 hours, I finally realized that I'd been studying from the wrong textbook. FML
Today, after finishing a two hour essay exam that will determine the future of my career, I realized I misread the question. FML
Today, I had a giant Scantron test. After putting 10 answers, I noticed every single answer was A. I got freaked out and started putting random answers. Turns out every answer on the test was A. I failed. FML

I'm trying to understand why you would re-sit an expensive exam if you were unable to find answers to the questions on it. Also, did you try finding and asking people who passed the exam?

If you can't find it on the Internet, it does not exist!

Probably needs that exam to complete a degree.

Asking someone who's sat the exam the answer to a question is usually considered cheating in countries on the Asian continent. Which, considering how seriously they take exams, can get you out in jail/prison, and banned from pretty much every school.

Maybe if you'd study the material instead of trying to cheat, it wouldn't be impossible.

Yes because looking in textbooks is clearly cheating....

Trying to memorize answers from previous tests is.

But she wasn't trying to memorize the answers, they just happened to all be the same questions as last time.

Trying to find answers to a question you didn't know *is* studying.

It can be. The reality is a lot of students make databases of previous questions to cheat.

that's not how this FML seems to come out to me though. More that they sat the exam, did poorly because they didn't know answers to complex questions and tried to find what the answers would be so they would be more prepared next time. when my human's sister sat the bar exam her first time that is what she did to better prepare, after sitting it the second time she passed.

Because not all questions have a specific answer. Some questions are thought-provoking and require you to apply your reasoning according to whatever the question and choices are in order to arrive at the most logically correct answer/s

Don't be silly, everyone knows that multiple choice questions are only testing how well you can play "eenie meenie minie mo".

The answer is never Jesus.

first of all I don't get how there are questions you can't Find the answers to. is there no teacher? and then knowing you dont have the answers you take it again. maybe the problem here is you.
shannon2348 14
how could you not find the answers? and if you knew that you didn't know the answers why would you take it again? ydi
