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

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.

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

Student life is rough

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.

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, I had my final economics exam, and needed to ace it, or else I would fail the entire module. After studying all day yesterday, and pulling an all-nighter today, I managed to pull it off and get a perfect score. Unfortunately, my teacher didn't believe that it was possible, and accused me of cheating. Now I may be thrown out of college. FML

I had d-bag professor who wanted to fail me for missing nearly ever single lecture despite my decent grade. He didnt take attendance but apparently noticed that I just stopped coming. It was the easiest biology class in the history of college curriculums and I went to an amazing charter high school where I already took biology so I didnt have to attend lecture to pass. Since I was a freshman his complaint meant I got put on academic probation DESPITE being on Dean's list the previous semester. I left the class with a high A after being pardoned by my advisor but the professor never apologized. Go straight to advisor, head of the department or dean if your professor is trying to fail you over a personal vendetta. If he said he was going to fail you because your grades such and even an A wouldn't pull your grade up then I understand but it doesnt seem like this is case since you obviously study.

A lot of the business classes at my university didn't state class was mandatory. But if you missed 7 classes you auto failed for some. Usually this gets communicated on the first day of class.

If op was originally failing and got 100% on the exam, but still wouldn't pass, why waste the effort in studying? You can usually do a rough estimate on what you need to score on the exam to determine whether you'll pass or fail. Heck, this is how i determined how much effort and time i spent on each course for studying.

You studied for 20 hours straight? Woah. Also, if she did fail you unfairly, here in England at least you can apply for a re-marking by an exam board and if they think you passed, the professor would be in some serious shit.

This is what sucks about college. Professors just don't care.. More often then not. But still report him. You are paying to pass and get an education not be failed!
