I went into a Maths exam once, and in my left pocket was a calculator and a protractor, and in the other were my pen, spare pen, pencil and unfinished chocolate bar from the day earlier. It was boiling that day, and when I went to take the pen out of my pocket, my hand was covered in chocolate and I didn't realize this until it was smeared all over the front of the paper.
Wonder if the examiner enjoyed that? I guess I'll never know.
Other people thought this was funny but the science modular exams in year 10 freaked me out, and I hardly tried revising at all because it wasn't ever my kind of subject.
I did three of these papers before I realized that they were real. The low grade in Science puts a black mark on the rest of my GCSEs!
And in one other GCSE exam (think it was History) I had a bumpy unleveled table and it caused a racket for the first half hour before an invigilator came up to me and said "You want paper to even that out?" and I was like "Yeah that'd be helpful.."
He comes up to me with one sheet of paper and I said "How the hell's that going to make a difference?"
A person sitting in front of me, who came out with an F said "you're supposed to fold it you retard!"
And finally, if anyone does French and has to listen to the tapes as a sort of listening comprehension, notice how the man always has a very deep and creepy voice while the woman sounds like a gerbil on a diet of unlimited helium.
