You must have left the lot at some point. That's how it happens. The Sim's
have a set amount of time in a semester and then they must have exams. If
they leave their home lot that timer keeps ticking but when you go back to
the residential lot it looks like the same time you left. The semster time
advanced though for the hours your Sim was away turning what was once a
reasonable exam time into something awful.
You can exploit this though to your advantage. I am doing some nutty thing
right now where I have ten siblings who all go on to have ten kids. One of
them moved a prospective spouse in to their dorm and that person is a year
and a half behind him in school. I get bored playing university so I am
trying to catch her up by having her spend a lot of time on community lots
and so far it is working great.
