What is the stupidest thing you have done on an exam? Math and Science only

<p>Like I just wrote my physics final today (E&M) and one of the question was about Ampere’s law inside a toroid </p>

<p>For some reason I swapped the idea of magnetic field and current and used the wrong radius lol</p>

<p>Also, I wrote that 23 > 53 on my LA midterm last week…</p>

<p>I wrote “orgasm” instead of “organism” on my ecology midterm. Thankfully I noticed it before I turned it in.</p>

<p>Took a math exam last week at 5:00 PM after a day of drinking, guessed on every single question (It was multiple choice), and still managed to pass the test with a curve. I’m awful at math anyway, so even if I had taken it sober I still would have done ****ty.</p>

<p>Calc 1-Didn’t read the question completely, was asked for the derivative of an equation and I wrote it and moved on. I lost 20 points on the 100 point test because I didn’t use some ■■■■■■■■ method I never bothered to learn, I just wrote down the derivative. (It was a ridiculously easy one too)</p>

<p>I accidentally missed an entire page of a test. I didn’t notice it was there.</p>

<p>For math, it’s usually forgetting to flip the inequality sign when I’m supposed to, miscalculating integers, not rounding properly, or just plain forgetting what the formula/equation is. For chemistry, it’s not doing stoichiometry right and mixing up chemical names.</p>

<p>That’s really weird. I just had an E&M test with Ampere’s law for a toroid also. </p>

<p>But on my last physics test I blanked on the first question, stared at it for 20 minutes, didn’t figure it out, then had limited time for the rest of the test, did bad on the rest, and ended up leaving the first question blank. Score was horrible, and killed my chance for an A in the class.</p>

<p>I decided to not study the graphs of logs thinking it wont be on the test, and of course two pages of the test was on just that. :(</p>

<p>In a Calc II midterm, I didn’t put + C at the end of any of 5+ anti-derivatives.</p>

<p>Cost me about 7% in percentage points…I’ve probably done dumber stuff in high school or earlier but I can’t remember off the top of my head.</p>

<p>Forgot to put my name on the test</p>

<p>I put the calculator in the wrong mode.</p>

<p>I finished the paper early and fell asleep at my desk. Woke up to find my whole answer sheet soaked with drool. Had to rewrite everything</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>****ing hate doing that</p>

<p>I had a precal 2 exam a couple weeks ago…it was roughly 20 questions…and for two questions (number 10 and number 13) I put the number 10 and the number 13 in the answer boxes instead of putting A,B,C, or D. Test anxiety really can be a killer.</p>

<p>Skipped a page on my BIO exam >.<</p>

<p>We had a test in precalc on functions… Simple f(x) and g(x) stuff… one question was a multiple choice but somehow I thought it was a four part question and plugged in each answer into f(x) to form four composite functions. My teacher laughed in my face.</p>
