Today, I took a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. FML

Classic rookie mistake
Today, I was taking a test and thought I was doing great until I realized I was writing all my answers on the question paper, not the answer sheet. By the time I noticed, there were only five minutes left. FML

Unfair failing
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 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

Idiot
Pencils down
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, 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, 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

Hard test
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 took my last final on a Scantron sheet with 200 multiple choice questions, with seconds to spare. When I finished the last question, I saw I had another bubble to fill in and I didn't know where I screwed up. FML

Since when is something that's worth half a grade on a single double sided sheet. The op used singular. So it was 1 sheet

17 - You're a dumbass.

I guess this is why my teacher would make us put our tests face down when we were done them.

@ 17, Please tell me that your comment was a joke or that you were trolling. If not than I have to agree with 29. When I take an important exam I always check the back and they I check my answer to see that answered all the questions. Doesn't everyone do that?

face palm* that's like the first thing I do when I get a test...

Well if you get 50% you know you would have aced it :D
auriane_fml 19
@ 60, Doesn't that depend on the school he goes to? If I want to pass a test I need to get at least 75% correct.
HideouslyHuman 10
73,He was saying if he did perfect on the front,he can assume he would have on the back. Not that he did pass. Notice the "WOULD have aced it."
christa953 12
why is everyone bashing 17?
WillyHorse19 4
It's really the teacher's fault, if he didn't tell you it wasnt double sided, or if it was just becasue you weren't listening then YDI. But anyway's the teacher should check both sides of the test, before you hand it in.

Always check the back. It should really be a habit by now if you're old enough to be taking exams.
auriane_fml 19
@76, Thanks for pointing that out. I misunderstood it. I take my comment back than. To bad I can't delete it.
VorpikeII 17
Always always always, check the back. Besides, don't you put your test upside down when your finished? So other people don't see your answers?
VorpikeII 17
I mean, I can't be the only one who does that. Right?
glglgl19 5
No that was so no one would be able to see your answers

I totally agree, i once had a test that had once sentence in the bottom of the back. It said, " If you think you deserve to pass, check here[ ]" so i passed XD

Assholes, everyone has done that once in they're life. I don't understand why some post get so many you deserve it's.

In my gcse's English exam there was a question that needed a source that was on a different page and only half looked at it do it was discounted. Maybe the same will happen here? :)

Just in case no one got it after the very first comment! Im just gonna make sure we understand, always check the back!

@165 No. No, I have never done that in my life. I always check the back of tests and I am sure there are many other people like me. OP does deserve what he got and YOU are the asshole.

lol.This happened to me once during a chemistry test. I forgot my assignment at home that day and the teacher made me sit in the back of the room by myself while taking the test. When I got my test back, i was wondering why my chem grade was so low when I realized that I forgot to check the back for questions. :x Oh wells

You can't always depend on common sense during a stressful exam.
borntoperform 14
Don't apologize, you're absolutely right(:
MyMilkShake2Yard 0
This is more then common sense, it's something that should be natural, before you even write your name you check how many questions there are in the exam, + you should have asked the teachers how many questions before the exam date. If they didnt say, it's only logic to check your self, no matter how stressed you are, it only takes a second, ydi
MagicallyFat 12
Yeah during an exam your stressed pi won't notice. But my teacher always go through it on the spot to make sure.

Oh man never forget the back !!!!

Dkparth13 Are you trying to copy my comment? >:L

It's not that hard to forget the back on a major test 3, OP was probably just stressing.

Common sense is the hardest common thing to find. Anyways, whenever we get stressful/nervous, like, during an exam, our sense goes out the window.

You took a "major test" that only consisted of the front and back of a sheet of paper?

At my school, we have one-sided IB Physics tests that are only short because of the amount of work needs to be done to solve each problem. Tests are 90% of our grade in that class. Same deal with my Calculus Internal Assessments.
