I misread the time that my exam is (since I had 2 today) one at 9 and one at 7. I misunderstood I had 2 and only was thinking about one and though it was 7 even though I was prepared for both I completely forgot to go to the 9 am. I remembered at about 3 o`clock and have been freaking out this entire time. I did end up going to my 7 pm one. Guys, im seriously freaking out right now and this has never happened to me before. What can I do in this situation?

This is definitely going to be a touch situation to sell, especially if you are not in first year. Best bet is trying to contact the prof.

I missed an exam last year, for a similar reason (I misread 14:00 as 4:00, and only checked the time once). You'll be fine.

I'd suggest sending an email to the prof; they may be willing to defer it to you.

Otherwise, go and talk to your department. My understanding is that there's an unwritten 'one-strike' rule in place for situations like this, and they'll defer it until June or so for you. The only catch is that you can only do this once; of course, once you miss one exam, you're not likely to miss another.

Good luck, and don't panic: you will be able to write it.

Oh man, you don`t know how much better I feel now. Yeah, I am going to write a message to my professor and try and get this sorted out and hopefully we will understood, and il go to the office if I have too. Okay thanks a lot man.

I often have dreams of waking up late for an exam on the night of the exam, so I know how you feel.

biggest fear in life

Actually, my prof set up a deferred exam the next week for me. I'd talked to my department, and they were going to set it up in June.

So talking to your prof is probably best.

I once struggled through a 100 multiple-choice questions Chemistry paper the summer my high-school grades were to be released. It was two hours long and I believe I managed to complete 5 questions when dream!Teacher told me to please place my pencil down.

Not. Fun.

haha yea no worries man, my friend actually forgot about his bio 1a03 exam last term and started freaking out too... but he went to the faculty office immidiately and talked to his prof and they deffered his exam, he ended up having to do it over reading week, but at least that's better than getting a 0.

FRIIIIG!!! I just missed my exam.... should I go over to where my exam is being held (my prof should still be there) and talk to her?? =S omg....


update:

so I went to see my academic advisors and I had to defer my exam, which means I have to write it in June.... frig. Now it's going to be at the back of my mind while I "try" and enjoy my summer.... =( sighhh. At least I get to do it... if it gets approved. I'm sure it will but... frig.
