Teacher misread the clock, causing student to rush and fail his midterm, he comes back with a vengeance on the final: 'I thought I only had 5 minutes left'

When a teacher asks a student what they can do to better prepare for the next exam, there are a few standard answers they are probably expecting to hear. The most obvious answer would be to study harder. Another would be to work on memorizing key terms, doing more practice, reviewing the homework assignments, etc. The last thing a teacher expects to hear in this scenario is this Redditor's answer. He said that all he planned to do next time was bring a watch.

That's because, during the midterm, the teacher made a mistake and told students they had five minutes left. This caused the Redditor to rush and leave early. After his departure, the teacher realized her mistake and gave the rest of the class those precious 20 minutes that the Redditor was not properly afforded. So, he vowed to bring a watch next time and insisted to his professor that this would be sufficient for him to ace the test.
