s***.

That's today

I've missed my exam

Remember to double and triple check even things you are totally sure of!

Good point!

Sorry to hear that though mate!

Reminds me of the time I took my 'O' level in Geography.

I could have sworn blind, that the exam was in the afternoon, so I was having a nice lie-in on the morning of the exam. Next minute my mum came rushing into my bedroom screaming that one of my teachers was on the phone wondering where I was, as the Geography test had just started.
Apparently, you can't take the test if you're more than 30 minutes late - so I called a taxi and made it to school with minutes to spare ........ needless to say I failed lol .

All my appointments and bookings and reminders go into Microsoft Outlook.

They then sync to my mobile phone, which then reminds me of each one on the day, and gives me an immediate view of the week ahead whenever I look at it.

So now, absolutely NOTHING can go wrong. Really and truly it can't!!

Sorry for your trouble. My brother, who can be a bit of a gom, did the same.
All through my childhood I got up for my breakfast, and my mother brought him his in bed. Lazy sod. Then the day came for his final exams in university. As usual my mother woke him up, and presented him with his coffee and toast.
That afternoon we returned to the house at five thirty. The noise of our arrival woke him up. He came storming down the stairs and accused us all of conspiring to derail his future. When we pointed out that his toast and coffee were by the bed, proof that we had woken him in time for the exam, he assuced us of slipping back to plant those.
Twenty years later he's as lazy as ever - but that's another story.

Bummer, sorry about that Blapse.

Much like Moonbeam, I was snoring away happily, safe in the knowledge my exam was in the afternoon, when my friend arrived to walk in together. Apparently I was mistaken.

After some serious panicking we got in on time, but still - not fun.

Oh, actually, that must have happened again, because one time they started ringing my Dad at work asking where I was I really cut that one fine...

oh Beard, you plonker!

I was really paranoid at school about missing my GCSE exams and would phone the school every morning to check the exam times.

So what happens now? Any chance you can blag a resit?

When I was doing my A levels, I had a bit of a nightmare because I was doing one by correspondence course. My tutors knew this, but come exam booking time, up popped a policy that stopped students sitting external exams at the college. You were not allowed more than one exam centre, so I couldn't sit it elsewhere.

Luckily, I was predicted good grades, so I was allowed to sit the papers at college, and they told me what days the exams were on. I made a note of those dates.

The college got one of the days wrong, and I didn't find out until I was about to sit another exam!

It was a huge fuss, but luckily I did well in the other two A levels, and was allowed to start university at the normal time, on condition I got the third A level.

It really made me neurotic about checking exam dates when I was at university!
