Today, we had a NAT for our preparation for college. I did quite well and knew most of the answers. When I turned mine in, I realised I forgot to write my name. The proctor doesn't allow giving back test papers after it is turned in. And no, I can't retake it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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
Today, I took a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. FML
Today, I came to school really sick because I had to take an important exam. After I finally finished, I accidentally sneezed on my answer sheet right before turning it in. The teacher refused to take it. 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 turned in my homework. Too bad I accidentally handed in the printed answer sheet I found online to copy from. FML
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
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, 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

how do you forget to write your name on it? if its anything like it is here, the instructor tells you like 15 times to write your name and fill everything out.

Maybe, since they have no record of you taking the test, you can talke it again.

Guess college isn't for you, after all.

Wait i'm pretty sure that when in testing the VERY first thing they tell you, other than when to start, is to clearly print you name on the paper.... This is strange if you somehow missed that

YDI. The first thing you do is put your name on a test.

.... tell the exam invigilator you forgot to put your name on and they will do it for you, its nor hard... I swear a LOT of people on here lack common sense...

YDI! Thats always the first thing you are supposed to do. Did you not look at it before you turned it in? If you did you should have put your name on it. If you didn't look at it how do you know you didn't write your name?

isn't it common sense to write your name before you take any test this obviously means college is not meant for you try something else there's plenty of jobs that don't require college degrees

Surely, if you'd told him you forgot to write your name, and asked to find the paper and have HIM write your name on it, so that he knew you weren't cheating and adding an answer, it would have been fine?

Good luck in college if you can't do something as simple as put your name on the placement test. College grades are based largely upon exams and you can't take those back either. Perhaps it is best you just save the ridiculous amount of money that college costs

for future reference: using acronyms specific to your country in an international forum like this is not a good idea. Of course given the context we can guess what sort of thing a NAT is, but a lot of people prob don't know exactly what. also for future reference: writing your name on the test should be the very first thing you do.
