Or when you chew on your pen and suddenly saliva starts to come out of the other end and smudges your work :biggrin:

Being forced to breathe in someone's toxic armpit fumes for two hours when you're trying to concentrate on a science exam is not fun.

When is it fun even if you're not in an exam?! :colonhash:

Having a mini heart attack when your phone starts vibrating in A2 Macro. Started coughing hastily and went for the volume rockers to kill the vibration. Almost **** myself.

Ooh that is bad. Turning the page and realising you should have revised that topic harder. Or that everything you learnt in a topic hasn't gone in. Worst feeling ever. Or 'pens down' and you still have a paragraph to finish.

I just say I'm writing a really really really long sentence.

Invigilators who force you to put your pen down regardless of whether you're in the middle of a sentence

I think they should give us a one minute warning so we can wind up, at that stage of the exam people are so rushed and panicked

The last word I wrote in my AS History exam on Tuesday was "because"...

probably when your 80% of a module exam consists of 2 compulsory questions that your lecturer told the whole year (in a revision lecture week before the exam) not to bother learning cos they wouldnt be coming up. there is currently a protest fb group up about it with over 300 members basically the whole year, lecturers have been informed and looks like there's gonna be some serious upgrading of people's marks

i dont mind lecturers who make stuff crazily hard cos they want to challenge you...but there seems to be a fairly large minority of lecturers at universities who actually want their students to fail and will try to throw them off course at every opportunity they get. i find it very odd and weird.

GCSE German Oral.

Started talking, few minutes in; teacher realised she hadn't started the tape. So she started the tape. FIRE ALARM WENT OFF. Had to stand in isolation for 10 minutes on the playground whilst all was sorted. Went back in, started again, teacher hadn't turned on the tape recorder AGAIN.

Now that was stressful.

During my GCSE R.E exam I was on my time of the month and it felt like the Niagara falls I swear to god, so I was mainly sitting there hovering a few times and praying I didn't leak.

Being told by the invigilators that there was 10 mins left of the exam, when there was actually around 25 mins... that really made everyone panic :/

ray of hope :)

it wasn't awful for me personally, but it was for one of the guys in my exam.

he'd clearly finished, and was in a world of his own because he randomly started singing. he went on for ages, totally oblivious. we were all trying not to laugh, the invigilators clearly couldnt believe what was happening cause they spent ages just looking at each other in confusion. when the poor guy realised he was so humilliated. we never let him forget it, which i guess is harsh, but it was one of the funniest things ever.
