Most Regretted Moment Throughout the Exams?

Now that exams are over, I thought this would be fun! :D

Lol, mine would definitely be in the Legal exam, and not knowing what one function of the Coroner's Court was. I was thinking and thinking for the good part of 20 minutes, until I wrote something along the lines of 'it is the place where members of Parliament get their sanctions determined, and are suspended from doing acts of parliament for a set time by the Coroner.' Hello, it was meant to be common knowledge.  :uglystupid2: :idiot2:

Well, I'm sure your experiences are not as dumb as mine (and I naturally made a million mistakes in maths :P).

Finding the inverse of

I don't know how I did that and I don't think I will ever know. A whole year's work culminates to this; an inverse function question. Fantastic.

Lol, I think I done that as well! It was probably because I somehow thought there were 2 -1's at the end... But then I thought, would that be -2? I didn't know, so I think I done what you did. Lol. :(

-Forgetting to omit part of the domain of a modulus function after I made a mental note during reading time.

-I think I added decimals wrong. (Year 5 stuff?)

-Doing the right working by multiplying everything by then thought it looked wrong so rubbed everything out and ogled at the question for 10 minutes to get a total of 0 marks for that question.

-Not telling the examiner my table is FUCKING WOBBLY.

Definitely in English for writing such a crappy analysis which was lacking in every aspect - structure, content, complexity, flow, etc.

Also, for practically regurgitating an old context piece to discover midway that the content didn't exactly link to what the prompt was asking.

I love English to bits, but it was just a shocking day.

english:
not finishing

specialist:
-it was meant to be 4^(1/3) but I wrote 2^(something), and I had the x-int between 2-3 instead of 1-2.
-I wrote xi+yj+zk instead of D(x,y,z)
-forgetting that it said x>0
-forgetting to double the value and just working out how long it took to get back to the origin
That's pretty much it. I can't really regret stuff I had no clue about.

physics:
spending my time on questions worth 4 marks, instead of the questions worth 8 marks.

eco & business:
I probably did a bunch of stupid things, but there were so many questions that I can't remember any of them.

things I've learnt:
energy drinks + me = no no. They've got me yelling and jumping around for the first 10 minutes, but I just go dead after an hour and a half.
