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

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

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

Today, I turned in my homework. Too bad I accidentally handed in the printed answer sheet I found online to copy from. 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 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

Hard test

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.

If you didn't put your name nobody knows you were there, so you never took it in the first place,

If you're wanting to go to college, you gotta learn to write your name first thing on your papers

Isn't that the first thing you're supposed to do on a proctored test?

Yeah I get it was a stupid mistake but geez give OP a break. I mean has no one here ever forgot anything simple and obvious before? Hell how many of you mix up your kids names (which you gave them) or forgot why you walked in a room? Seriously it sucks OP but everyone makes mistakes.

Wouldn't the proctor tell you quite often to write your name down while reading the class the test instructions?

Why isn't writing your name not the first thing you do on a test???????

Wow. I work as a test proctor and we will allow you to write your name in front of us since it happens more often than you think. Thankfully, my college has a cheating policy every tester has to sign with the students name clearly labeled.
