I got there pretty much 30 min late for a test. I asked him to give me 5 min to take the test cause I know thats all i would have needed to get an A. He proceeds to tell me he KNOWS I'm gonna fail if I take it in 5 min. So I got mad and told him a few bad words. Now i feel bad about what I did. I really wanna take that test. I guess I'm gonna go back on Monday and apologize to the substitute and explain myself to the real proffesor. Hopefully he'll give me the test...but i doubt it.
Just told off my history substitute....*UPDATE*

You should have handled it better at THAT time. Next time don't do what you did, because convincing your prof to take that test 3 days after it was given will be more difficult to get done, that at that time. What if your friends tell you some answers over the weekend (his thinking). And most profs are too lazy to make up a new test for just ONE student.
You got there 30 mins to a test and you have the nerve to tell someone off?
You're a punk! You don't deserved to take the test.

So you showed up 30 minutes late, disrupted a class taking a test, and expected the teacher to let you waltz in and take the test? If you wanted to take the test you should have showed up on time, and if you had a legitimate excuse, you should have told the substitute that instead of making an @ss out of yourself.
Good luck taking it. Generally, teachers don't like it when students are rude to substitutes.

ok ok you did something really dumb. most likely flunked the class. showed everyone that you are a true moron. and then come on here to tell us. uhh..WHY? to show just how big a dumbf#$k you are?
but at leas tyo ufeel bad. but do you feel bad for yelling or because you wont be able to take the test now?
i really hope you dont get to take the test. cussing out the teacher and disrupting the class while they are takeing a test heck i think you should get kicked out of school. Your are sopposed to be an adult. its time to act like it.
I dont know about you people..but NOBODY tells me in one way or the other that I'm stupid. You have to be freakin' crazy to say that to me. Maybe some of you like it when people step all over you. Not me...I let them know whats on my mind. I'm not worried about me looking like an ass in front of everybody. Who gives 3 flying f's about what someone else thinks of me. And yes, I could have handled the situation ina better way...but to hell with it. And as for getting kicked out....ROFL...yeah right....I go to a community college. And what was so HARD about giving me 5 minutes? NOTHING! There was still 45 minutes to take the test.
First of all, I don't see that he was calling you stupid. Remember, he actually had seen the test and all of the questions on it. If the entire test was one essay question asking you to detail the differences in the economic economic situation of the colonies during the American Revolutionary War and the states during the American Civil War, and explain how each contributed to the eventual outcomes of those conflicts (with a minimum answer length of 2 pages), and there was nothing else on the test, he would have been perfectly correct in assuming that it could not be completed in five minutes, regardless of how smart you are. Also, you have to realize that a substitute generally does not have the leeway in making decisions that the regular professor does. If the professor told him that the test would take a full hour-and-a-half, and that anybody arriving late was not to be admitted because they wouldn't be able to finish, then he would have to abide by that decision.
Also, nothing personal, but if you expect to have even a chance at convincing the professor to allow you to take the test on Monday, you're going to need to lose the ego. People are going to say things and have attitudes that you don't like, but if you want them to bend over backwards to accomodate you, then you will have to do the same.

You better start caring, because it can and will affect your life. You never know when someone can screw you over.
i'll side w/ you migace, as no one else seems to.
it shouldn't matter what the sub thinks of the person, that person is paying to take the damn class, he (or she) should have as little or as much time as they want to take the test. is the sub going to say that a person is not going to be able to hand the test in 1/2 hour early, because that would be approximately the same thing.
sure, the 5 min thing might have been a little boast (or might not, we do not know the nature of the test) but let's give migace the benefit of the doubt.
but sure, you probably shouldn't have spouted off. but i bet it felt good at the time.
