    The exam was going on and one of the boys suddenly started singing a song (in falsetto!) about a girl who a has cheated on him, without realising where he was and what he was doing! We fell about laughing, until the invigilator told us to keep quiet. He was sooo embarrassed and turned red. We all questioned him about it afterwards, and who he was on about. Lol!!! Still funny to this day :

    I had an exam yesterday and this girl was sat like next to me, and she kept shaking her head and tapping her feet and pulling r hair clips out of her and and loudly dropping them on the table, this was fine but then she started to rip lumps of her hair out and made a little pile of her hair. The examiners were all walking around talking to each other asking if they knew anything and then they were looking through all these books, in the end they ran out of the room to get a teacher to take her away, as she stood up she suddenly grabbed the pile of her hair and shouted "WHAT DID YOU DO?" and the teacher was trying to get out the room and she was screaming NONONONO and then she walked out calmly and the teacher turned to say something to the exam people and he turned back and walked into the door .... It wasn't really funny but bloody distracting!!!

    Just whenever at the beginning of an exam the exams lady comes in and annouces

    "OK EVERYBODY, THERE IS AN ERRATUM ON P5- THERE IS AN ERRATUM ERRATUM. PLEASE TURN TO THE ERRATUM NOW AND CORRECT THE ERRATUM BEFORE YOU BEGIN!!"

    ...and it's like there's an 's' missing. I don't kno. Something about that word. Always sounds like a grand word for something rude

    Had a bit of a giggle earlier.

    Had my chemistry exam in the big exam hall, which is really echoey. I felt a sneeze coming and couldn't decide whether to hold it in or let it out. In the end I sort of ended up shouting, "A-WOO!"
    An invigilator came over and said, "If we think you're cheating, we can kick you out, you know!" in a really stern voice.
    I couldn't suppress my giggles. What sort of question would have the answer "A-WOO!"?!?

    Once had an invidulator trip over the mat covering the floor in the gym hall of a gcse maths exam. She stood back up with calculators in her hands and asked "does anyone want a calculator?" LOL (serves her right for wearing high heels in an exam hall - so annoying!)

    Yesterday my friend had an exam and the invidulator sat on a chair. 2 of the legs on the chair broke off and she fell onto the floor haha.

    Leaving my sociology exam today and I pour half my water bottle over my invigilator, whilst the year 11s are working away at Maths. Smooth.

    Some of these are genius!

    A fly was buzzing around our exam room (happened to be the very intimate sports hall). By the end of the paper we had a chorus of about 10 boys at the back of the room going *hmmmmm* and then stopping every time the invigilator turned around. Rest of us are just sitting there with pursed lips, trying desperately not to crack up!
    That exact thing happened to me! It was so funny!!

    Some of the phrases in my German listening were hysterical - apparently 'Lange Schlange' means long queue...

    An invigilating teacher decided to, annoyingly, wear clompy high heels to school that morning.

    After attempting to tip-toe around the room (a not-so-quiet procedure) and receiving icy glares from many pupils, she bent down to take them off.

    In doing so, she re-created a classic movie moment when the seam of a skirt ripped and the entire hall was exposed to her lacy "super girl" pants.

    To top it off, she was so shocked she wobbled around on one leg for a second before falling over.

    In my maths exam today, a girl's phone went off and the ring tone was that 'A tibenia' song from the Lion King. Lol, even the invigilators were laughing. Luckily her phone was in her bag.

    The 'head invigilator's' phone ringtone went off in his pocket during one of my GCSE exams; I don't think anyone ever saw him again.
