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, my class was called to the auditorium. We were told that some asshat proctor took a picture of our testing room during out test and posted it on Facebook. Someone noticed that according to the rules, we were sitting too close to each other, so now we have to retake the whole test. 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, 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, a few people in my class used calculators on the math final exam, even though it clearly stated at the top that they weren't allowed. The teacher found out, and now everyone has to retake the 200-question exam. I didn't even use a calculator. FML

Unfair failing

By Mistakes were made - 24/10/2022 23:00 - United States

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, in the middle of my online midterm, my computer decided to update and closed out of the test. It can't be retaken. 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 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

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 made a multiple choice exam so my friend could practice and get a good grade on his real exam. While I was helping him finish it, the teacher saw it, thought we were cheating and failed us both. FML

Wow, that is a ridiculous rule. At least you know how to get your score dropped if you think you've done poorly

That's awful, I've taken it three times, not due to that thank god, but trying to improve score. Don't stress out too much, everyone makes a big deal of it but it'll all be good :) plus now you know what it looks like so you might do better

I thought you couldn't bring phones into the testing area at all? Maybe that's just SAT and/or has changed since I was in highschool.

Is the ACT the same as SAT ? Or what is it exactly? I have different required exams in mr country, the SAT is required for the American curriculum universities.

Act has more questions but they're easier. I also believe you can skip the writing part.

It's similar. Multiple choice, subject sections. Content is also quite similar but apparently the two exams require different thinking/problem solving/test taking abilities. Some people do better on one and worse on the other. I did much better on my SATs than on my ACTs. I did study a lot more for SAT and ACT was something my parents pushed me to do (My school didn't offer ACT, had to go to the next city district)...I did prep, but I felt totally lost in ACTs.
