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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my teacher walked into class and said, "Look to your left and right, one of those persons you just looked at will fail the upcoming exam." When asked why, she said too many people passed last year's exam. She was dead serious. 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 got up and walked to college for my only class which started at 9 a.m. after a night of restless sleep. Our exam is two weeks away, so I thought it would be better to attend. Apparently, my teacher thought differently. FML
Today, the final for a class I'm in is taught by a decrepit old man who apparently has a flunk-out reputation. He spent the entire previous class making a study guide for the final exam, emphasizing, "THIS is on the exam. Know THIS." I studied it hard. Absolutely none of it was on the exam. Everyone 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
Today, I've been feeling like my efforts are never enough. I had 4 exams in one goddamn week, didn't sleep at all for 3 days studying, only to get completely demolished. The teachers put the most complicated problems as if they WANT us to fail. If I fail one class, I'm getting kicked out of my program. FML
Today, I stayed up all night to study for my anatomy final at 9 a.m. I studied outside the testing room in the hall all night. Apparently, I fell asleep with my headphones on, as my friend woke me up after walking out of the test, asking how I did. 300 classmates walked by and no one woke me up. 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 finally got off my lazy ass and start studying for my upcoming exam. It was going pretty well, until my classmate called and after I proudly told him about my sudden motivation, the only thing he had to say was, "You got the date wrong, the exam was on thursday." FML
Today, after having pulled like three all-nighters and studying hardcore for months, when it came down to it, I couldn't solve even one question. I almost broke down. FML

If you needed to stay up 20-hours straight to study then you weren't taking the course seriously anyway. You don't deserve to fail for that, but that probably illustrates that you hadn't done well enough in other parts of the course to pass anyway.

Prove him wrong!

Guys, maybe the professor means that even if he gets an A on this test, he still won't pass the class because his grade is so low. Just a suggestion.

"And why's that? I just spent 20 hours straight studying for this."

you probably failed too much already in the semester and need like a perfect score to even pass. don't assume he is an asshole, maybe you should be more responsible.

The Professor is an asshole for saying what he said I'll give you that but still, I feel like it is partly your own fault. Had you started to study sooner you would've not felt the need to cram in 20 hours of intense studying before the exam. Sleep helps you so much more in these cases than craming some last minute knowledge into your brain. Unless you haven't studied at all before the exam, in this case, as I said, it's your own damn fault!

why is he going to fail you?

if you needed to stay up to study for 20 hours you clearly have no interest in actually learning anything and your professor knows it. he's probably seen you goof off and pay no attention all semester and feels you dont deserve to pass. And seriously, if you started cramming 20 hours before a test just so you could pass it i hope you never end up in a job where you... you know... need the ******* knowledge they're trying to give you and you clearly dont want. YDI and i hope you failed.
