I have 3 :( THe exam was at 8am this morning, I set my alarms for 6:30am. I don't remember turning the first two off, I just remember hitting my snooze button a couple times and then turning it off. I started rationalizing in my head to just sit in bed for just one second and then I owuld get up, but that never happened. Hmm, I wonder if my professor is still at the college :(

Yep! Didn't pass the class too, it was the easiest exam of the term, I studied too much and slept through my alarm.

Yeah. It's even worse when you show up and *still* sleep through the exam.

I fell asleep after I finished the English portion of the ACT and didn't wake up until Math was almost over.

I dozed off DURING an exam once in HS. Worse still, my assigned seat was right in front of the teacher, who was this dragon lady with a Ph.D. :eek:

Oh yeah--forgot something--I drooled onto the exam.

Yes final year university I slept through a midterm - I thought it was on a different day and I skipped that class sometimes. I told the prof I was sick. I couldn't get a doctor's note but he let me retake it and I think dinged me like 5% or something.

yeah...my first quarter of college. I didn't go talk to the prof until i found the incomplete on my report card. I talked to him, took the final a week into the next quarter, and ended up with a C in the class (by my count i would have been lucky to get a D in the class and i didn't study a second for the final).

DON'T use the "I was busy sleeping with your wife excuse". It doesn't work.

I've successfully dispensed helpful information today! :D

Good LAWD, your alarm clock must be on steroids or something...every clock I've come across shuts off after an hour or so. I'd hate to be your roommate :)

Professors are usually (though not always) willing to work with you about making up the final. It helps a LOT if you've actually been to class and have done well on past tests, as it then looks like you care about the grade and are interested in the material. But worst case scenario, he/she says no...never hurts to ask.

As for which excuse: I'd just break out the honesty in a humble way.
