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

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

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

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

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 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 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

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 was in my psychology class taking the hardest test ever. After I spent most of the period trying to fill in the few answers that I knew, I looked up to see everyone with their notebooks on their desks. It was an open-note test. FML

Today, my math TA showed the class how one of her "dumb" students answered a test question. Everyone laughed as she wrote out the students answer, including myself, until I looked down at my answer sheet and saw that I submitted an identical answer. 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

Ha being in school myself, I can tell you that taking a multiple choice test and getting one letter many times in a row is a scary thing. Even if you know what you're doing, getting all A's would scare anyone and shake their confidence

The first strategy for test taking they teach you, never second guess yourself

I've actually heard of teachers doing that. It's a psychological test to see how confident a student is in his or her abilities/knowledge. Personally I think they were a dick for making it count as a grade, but they were probably trying to show students to be confident (in their own twisted way, of course).

Should have just stuck with the original answers, and never doubt yourself again. Your teacher is a trolling expert though... Lol.

Scantron was my worst class in high school. I had to choose between Greek, Home Ec. and Scantron, and I chose wrong! I should have chosen Home Ec. and dealt with all the razzing from the other guys. I barely passed Scantron with the help of an expensive Scantron tutor.

"Scantron" is a type of form that students use to bubble in multiple choice answers for tests over here in America. I've never heard of a class actually named Scantron before

#36, I took it for two years and was told it was the language used in a small country in Australia.

#51, no apology necessary. I have so much fun when people fall for my tomfoolery. I was hoping you'd jump on that "small country in Australia" nonsense.

Im a smidge confused on how people still don't understand that if what Perdix is saying is absolutely insane/stupid, it's because he's trying to prove a point/be funny. Silly, silly people.
