Re: What's the worst thing that's ever happened to you in an exam?
GCSE Japanese writing exam last month, I had to write a letter to a fictitious Japanese pen-pal. But then I had an utter mind-blank on Japanese boy names to write to, and couldn't even at least recall the name of my actual real-life Japanese penfriend!! Urgh. Ended up using a Japanese surname - Yamamoto, which is basically the Japanese equivalent of the British "Smith". So the start of the letter was basically the equivalent of saying "Dear Smith, how are you?". Utterly ridiculous, I really should get more sleep in the night before an exam.

Sitting my A levels maths while pregnant. Had horrendous morning sickness and had to get a doctors letter to explain that I would need to have access to a loo at very short notice. Was hospitalised due to severe dehydration later that day. Somehow managed to get an A though.......

Invigilator stood behind me resting on the back wall, I leant back and accidentally head-butted him in the crotch. Bad enough already, but he squeaked so everyone turned round (so much for always face the front!) Awkward!
Once got my foot caught in the folded netting of the football posts (In the sports hall) spent 10 mins trying to get free, eventually forgot about it, until I tried walk off at the end of the exam! ouch!Last edited by phil3; 28-07-2012 at 20:47. Reason: I can't spell -

Getting an 8 mark question in a Geography exam about escarpments and not having a clue what they are.
My friend also got a nose bleed halfway through his English exam- he wasted about 8 minutes of time and couldn't concentrate for the rest

I have several bad encounters... Decide which ones worst!!
I fell asleep in my physics exam... Which obviously didn't end well...
I dropped my water bottle in an English exam which managed to roll all the way from my seat at the frot of the aisle to about 8 seats behind me... The invigaltor had to go and get it for me haha
There was a spider next to my table on the wall and it was massive! It scared the life out of me and I had to ask an invigaltor to get rid of it as It began crawling on my work :O
Oh and something funny just to brighten everything up - we were in a 2hour exam then we heard this *beep *beep noise which went on for about ten minutes- we all thought it was a phone and we were all like what an idiot, the invigialtors then spent ages trying to find the culprit bag but the *beep was coming from outside... It was a crane machine reversing outside ... Hahaha (school under reconstruction)
