What's the stupidest mistake you've made on a test or exam lately?
I solved for the roots of a nasty math function but didn't simplify my answer on the very last step and lost all the points for it.

What's the stupidest mistake you've made on a test or exam lately?
I solved for the roots of a nasty math function but didn't simplify my answer on the very last step and lost all the points for it.
i got clockwise and anti-clockwise wrong
sigh.
Most idiotic mistake i've ever made was stopping at a repeater light on my driving test LMFAOOOOO
I'm not ******ed I swear, just the repeater light was in a ****** up place.
forgot that the balance of payments was to do with imports and exports, not internal aggregate demand :(
I forgot that ideomotor apraxia is only caused by damage to the left inferior parietal lobe and wrote an essay on how it is caused by damage to the inferior parietal lobe :'(
Got all my Biology facts wrong and wrote a freakin long essay about something else that don't even make sense! That's stupid but I'm trying to improve my Biology! ... That wasn't the stupidest mistake ever. The stupidest ones are I spelt 'surprise' wrongly as 'suprise' and I forgot how to round off numbers. I mean those were like really basic but I forgot it! Urgh :(
My mistake would be on my Health and Social Care exam paper I didn't write long answers for questions with 7 answerlines, instead I wrote 2 lines worth. In future I need to stop being lazy and rack my brains for the answers because I do actually know them... :/
I spelt my name wrong!
And I have the EASIEST surname ever (its only 3 letters lol)
Well mine wasn't recent as such, but nevertheless I shall share with you.
My mistake was thinking that exams didn't matter, so I spent most of my exam life annoying the invigilator :) Such as dropping my pencil and having them pick it up, and requesting them to read out a sentence for me because I was "incapable of reading it"
This was me putting it as a joke then an accidental mistake. But a couple of years back i took my GCSE music, i knew i was going to fail along with my class as for about 3/4 of the year we had no teacher so when a question popped up which asked:
Whats the diffrence between a Quaver and a Semi Quaver i couldn't resist not to put that one is a Crisp and the other is a Half eaten Crisp... I felt so smug and even smugger that when i got the exam back i didnt actually fail haha XD
I forgot how to work out the area of a cylinder.
I forgot my calculator and had to square root some tricky numbers manually.
I said that decisions that effect the public should be made by experts not politicians :')
A question got asked in a mock physic paper saying 'how many stars are in the solar system' and i put billions, but its not its 1. Pure fml :(
I'm going to turn this into a stupid mistake by the examiner:
On my geography mock paper I was finished about 40 mins before the exam ended so I wrote pointless facts on the back of the paper from QI. For this, I got an extra 20 marks and she commented "Useful information, please remember to clearly show which question you are answering as there was some confusion with this answer"
Brought me up to a C so yh okay....
I couldn't identify the third GRASP pattern in my software systems engineering exam recently. I knew there was a facade controller, role controller but couldn't think of the other one for the life of me. I could even describe the other two well. I'd revised it loads as well :\
I chose the wrong question in my Jan politics paper and ended up doing quite bad.
I was adding 90+90 and I put 160 instead of 180... -.- I rushed shut up .
Forgot how to work out an average in a physics exam. Thank god I have 2 more sets of science exams that get added to my last paper where I got a D in Physics on a FOUNDATION paper lol
worst mistake is when you dont read a question right and end up writing like 2+ pages on it
oh god erm, probably writing carbon dioxide as c2o and water as ho2 in several equations on my mock chemistry paper
I put a strike through my correct solution in a maths paper because I assumed that it was too easy to be correct and that I must have made a mistake. Never again.
Listening to my A2 art teachers and re-working 15 weeks of exam preparation in just 1 week. Needless to say that exam didn't go too well.
stupid things like + instead of - . i do that loads! further maths makes u forget the basic stuff!!!!!
Probably thinking that Hitler was 'Prime Minister'... during '1922'. Ended up with a C.
Retake soon, thank god.
Today..I wrote my answer in the wrong section and nearly missed out a question because of it :@
In my mock exams in October I announced Jesus died at Christmas.
A*/A Humanities student here xx
Lol brilliant. In my french listening I had a question that said "why does person A say that person B annoys them". I got the answer to that and the next question says "state why". I didn't get the answer so just put "because she said so" which kinda makes sense.Quote:

In my french exam. Did it all fine, handed it in. Walked to the shop across the road and then realised -

not really recent but wrote my English exam in essay form instead of an article, she said it was really well written but couldn't give me more than a C cause of the layout. thank god it was just a mock, I tend to do terribly in practises so get very little encouragement from teachers ;) at least I do well when it matters
In year 11 I think I put methane was that drug to ween you off heroin when really it's cow poo.
I also put my old school centre number on my exam paper instead of my college one, good job it's easily changable!
38135 and 38185 LOL!
This was last week in my English poetry exam. I got so into writing about one poem, that I forgot I had to COMPARE them.
I have another one...
A* English student. Wrote about the wrong film in my controlled assessment, luckily it was a practice. My teacher said it was good enough to get an A* but he wouldn't be able to give me more than a C because it's the wrong film lool.
forgetting that prices need to have 2 decimal places not 1 :'(
I got income statement and cash budget mixed up LOL :(
