Now, I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place but I need someone out there to help me feel better and stop having hysterical laughing/crying fits. Moreover, I'm not sure if TSR is the place to find other people who sometimes make mistakes in exams as everyone on here appears to get straight A's.
I'm a first year and I've just had an exam. I've written an answer to the question "How far do you agree that Indian nationalism is a patriarchal ideology?", now, brace yourselves, because what I did is very stupid. Stupid doesn't even cover it. I, in my petrified state, have mistaken patriarchal for patriotic. Hence, I've written an entire essay on why Indian nationalism was communalist and not patriarchal (thinking it meant some type of patriotism). I've laughed and cried so much that I'm now drained and wondering whether I should get in a box and stay there.
Now, has anybody out there ever made a ridiculous mistake in an exam? Anybody want to make me feel better?!
Forgot to number my questions in my English essays... The exam board sent me a letter with my marks, I got 32/50 for the close reading (Not bad) and 4 for the essays
Uhm...put my email as my signature :| (on the actual exam paper) Me and all my friends before the exam had swapped email addresses, so I guess it was still stuck. Just glad it was French!
My best friend managed to write 'conservationist' instead of 'conservative' about twenty times in a politics essay last year. Fortunately it was only a tutorial essay, though, not an exam essay... hee hee.
When I did my BMAT for med school before my first degree I thought vivisection was on dead animals rather than it being a cruel process on living animals.
I got a **** essay grade and no interviews that year. FML!
