Miscellaneous: Today, I finished my SAT and was feeling pretty good about it....

Today, I finished my SAT and was feeling pretty good about it. I decided to turn on my phone, since it was on silent. As the guy was collecting our tests, my phone vibrated a little. My score was cancelled. It was a text from my mom reminding me to turn off my phone. FML

Today, my entire junior class took the ACT. On the last test, a classmate's phone went off, automatically invalidating the whole test. We all have to retake it. FML

Today, I was taking the SAT and feeling really confident in my answers. When we were close to finishing, some idiot pulled the fire alarm. All of us have to retake it. FML

Today, my parents yelled at me for 10 minutes without letting me get a word in edgeways for getting a 48 on my test. They took my phone, unplugged my internet, and took my car keys. They wouldn't listen no matter how many times I told them, "It was out of 50". It actually was. FML

ASAP

Today, my mom texted me in the middle of my end of term math exam, saying it was extremely urgent and needed me to come home ASAP. While skipping my exam, I finally got home to find out my mom forgot what the emergency was. FML

Today, I was giving a lecture to my class I heard a phone go off. Aggravated and exhausted, I asked everyone to turn their phones off. Then the phone rang again. I lost my shit and spent the next half hour calling my students a bunch of "technology whores". Then I realized the phone was mine. FML

Panic in the streets of London

By iiiiiiii - 22/06/2022 14:00

Today, like every day, everyone blew up my phone at once and I began having a panic attack. Because I didn’t respond immediately, I was called rude and a bad person. Turning off my phone isn’t an option either, because my mom will come in my room and cuss me out for not responding to her texts. FML

Today, I was taking a biology final and was just randomly tapping my pencil. My teacher thought I was somehow communicating with the person next to me, and decided to fail me. FML

Today, my school took part in a standardized state test. After finishing, I decided to take a nap, only to be awoken by the test monitor, who wanted me to leave. Apparently, I was ferociously farting in my sleep and was disturbing the people still taking the test. FML

Why would you ever, ever turn your phone on when still in the room? You deserve that twice.

you deserve that sooo much...they repeat over and over again DO NOT TURN YOUR PHONE ON UNTIL YOU LEAVE THE BUILDING, is it that hard to be away from your cell phone for two seconds in order to take one of the most important tests of your academic life??

EVERYONE should know by now that the phone is test suicide. Especially during an SAT!!!!!!! maybe those other tests wouldn't care, but the SAT will get the score canceled just for looking the wrong way. That was just retarded of you. I can't even believe you lacked the sense not to do that. Just because the test was over didn't mean you were out of test mode. I'd beat my college scholarship that most of the people saying your life is ****** either took the SAT before everyone had a cellphone or has NEVER taken or heard about the seriousness of the SAT. Don't blame mom. If you had waited to turn it on AFTER the test, your score would have been sent in. YDI big time!

Oh my god do you REALIZE how many times they tell you not to even have it on??? WHY would you risk having to retake the SAT for a few priceless minutes with a phone you cant even use. I just took my AP and if we had one AT ALL we had to put it in a box. OFF. They are SOO strict you completely deserved this.

I would say you deserve something, but not that severe. But your mom definitely deserves to to have lost $50 or however much it costs. She's the biggest dumbass of this situation.

They definitely cancel your score. It doesn't matter when during the test it happens: the start, the middle, the end. If you are even suspected of cheating in the least bit, you are told to leave and your test is void. YDI x 1000000. Why would you EVER turn your phone on during the SAT when the explicitly tell you like 50 times to not even bring it. Ah, the future generations of America look so brilliant...

Yes, I would have to say that you absolutely deserved that one. Could you not wait the last few seconds until you were allowed to leave the room? Gracious. I'm sorry, but that's quite possibly one of the most idiotic things I've ever heard.
