So I go in to my military history midterm, which I'm totally prepared for, having attended all the classes, read the readings, and studied. I look over the questions and think, I'm gonna crush this exam.

No.

Instead, he lets us keep the paper with the questions on it. Now, the format of the test is we choose a certain number of identification questions (which is basically, what is it and why does it matter,) and one essay question. So I fill out a page each on two identification questions and I fly through the essay, writing ~5 pages, and I walk out of the class with a giant grin on my face, thinking I've aced it. Instead, I was supposed to answer 5 identification questions, and I misread the last component of the essay. How to fail a test when you know the answers. [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img]
