So, I just got kicked out of my ACT testing room because I accidentally set an alarm the night before on my watch, and it went off twice during the test. I’m soooo mad at myself and currently replaying everything that happened. I mostly am embarrassed and feel guilty for distracting the others in my room. I knew some students personally in my room and I feel like they’re going to talk about me or something. I don’t know. I’m really freaking out, and I really hate myself right now.
It was a mistake. Everybody makes them.
I agree with @suzy100. This was a dumb mistake. We all make mistakes. I wish that my dumbest mistake ever was no worse than this one.
Ouch. There is a good side to it, though. Chances are you’ll never make a very similar mistake again. Honestly, I wouldn’t worry about whether others will talk about you or not. When I took the ACT in March, a guy thought it’d be a good idea to not listen closely to the instructions and go text & call his mother in the break, while the invigilators were only a few meters away. As you could imagine, he was dismissed immediately. Everything the others and I said to each other about him was how much pity we had for him, although we did think it was a very stupid mistake. My point is that you shouldn’t worry too much about it, as everyone makes mistakes and you learned a valuable lesson :-).
