Bad exams.

[Vigilante]

Don't you hate the feeling of turning in an exam you know you failed? And then know exactly what you did wrong as soon as you walk out the classroom door?

Had to do that yesterday with a Fluid Mechanics test. Studied my ass off for three days for it, too. Failed the shit out of that thing.

Damn stupid mistakes!!

Get some weed, and relax.

Haha I'd love to but I have piss tests coming up for summer internships. Luckily I did really well on the first exam and he drops our lowest exam. Gotta do well on the last, haha.

 

[Acepilotf14]

I never fail tests/exams.

I'm magical like that.

Spoiler

But I don't do homework.

No. Cocaine.

concur with op.

also. i love that feeling when the instructor expresses their disappointment in the overall results of the test, but you find out you scored in the upper half, and you're like "haha, everyone in the bottom half can eat it suckers" and you feel smart and shit, and then you leave the test in plain sight on your desk on purpose so the bottom half people can see your upper half results and they can be all jealous and stuff cause they scored in the bottom half and you didn't cause you scored in the upper half

When that happens I usually hide my exam so I don't incur the wrath of others.

Anyways, I kinda failed a test earlier this semester (67... is that failing? I don't even know, haha ) but it doesn't matter a whole lot because this professor usually gives out mostly A's and maybe a few B's and the test doesn't count for that much. I'm about to graduate anyways so even if I do end up with an overall B or something, it doesn't really count!

It was still a bit of a shame because I usually make A's or B's on exams, and this exam shouldn't have been that difficult... the questions were all just very vague and that doesn't work well with me.

Anyways, I just went and got pizza and a slushie after the exam and everything was good.

My problem is that this professor has no problem failing people. It's the last weed out course in the civil engineering curriculum and I know many who have had to retake it. Luckily I kicked ass on the first exam and he drops your lowest score.

 

[Sledgehammer]

Don't fail. It's your problem.

that happened to me on my drafting exam. The exam went as follows:

1. 50-question packet concerning things we never learned or heard our teacher talk about, but were, apparently, "in the book". (we never used our books once during the entire trimester)

2. a five-paragraph essay on current events in the auto-industry. (again, this was a drafting class)

3. four exceedingly complicated drawings that we needed to replicate and dimension. (each drawing takes about half an hour, we're given 1hr 45mins to take our exams)

to top it off, just before we began, our teacher announces to the class: "don't feel bad if you don't complete it. Nobody has in three years."

at my school, all exams are required to be 20% of your total grade. I thought for sure I was going to fail. Turns out I did well enough on the homework to scrape a C-.

 

[Insano]

University rules. Your exams count for 100% of your grade, no pressure at all.

You failed the engineering exam 13 times.

Nice, score drops are the best. That and curves

Fluid dynamics is pretty tough (I'm in chemical engineering so we take a class on fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer)... luckily I had a good prof for that class.

I just remembered this one time I had a calculus quiz where I picked the wrong limits on an integral, and as I got up to turn in the quiz I just realized, "Wait this is probably wrong," but I turned it in anyways since I had already stood up. Ten seconds after I left the room I was like, "Awwww crap that was wrong."

I've had some pretty bad classes with horrible profs and in one case horrible TA's... lots of crazy stories there.
