    In a GCSE exam, a pigeon came into the exam hall through the window. A girl at the back of the room yelling 'Bloody HELL!' and our Head of Year saying 'no need to worry, girls, I can sort this out' (the pigeon kept flapping around for a good while as everyone watched in horror/giggled.
    Haha, a pigeon came in the hall in one of my GCSE exams too! Caused quite a commotion!

    In our science exam the other day, people sitting one of the papers had to make a correction to their paper. OCR had forgotten to put in a full stop.

    Scary skinhead lad who everyone knew was a massive thug and a bit psycho came in with an enormous (fake obviously) diamond earring in one ear and bright pink hair. Even the teachers invigilating were lost for words, that was pretty funny.

    History teacher invigilating started laughing so much he had to leave the hall. We asked him about it later and apparently a lad's knob had poked out of his open fly and he hadn't noticed.
    Your sig is AMAZING how does it do that?!?! :eek:

    Some of these are brilliant! The oddest thing that happened in one of my exams was one guy came in wearing pyjama bottoms and a leather jacket and yellow sunglasses and he was barefoot.And when someone next to me got a papercut and dripped blood all over their paper,and the invigilator came over to look and fainted.Turns out she doesnt like the sight of blood.

    Also, in one of my exams, a teacher passing by in the corridor outside (the wall is mostly glass) looked through and made a few funny faces at a teacher inside the hall... then looked round and saw me smirking at him. Never have I seen someone walk off so fast.

    An invigilator's phone goes off in the exam. At least he had the decency to be embarrassed

    examiner for gcse oral went to sit down, full on missed the chair completely and ended up on her backside on the floor, papers everywhere...so hard not to laugh when you're in a confined space with the woman speaking in a foreign voice for 15 minutes...so hard not to crack up.

    this just made me laugh non stop for a good ten minutes [: haha [:

    well, i know this is a bit mean, but when people fall off their chairs i just find it absolutely hilarious. and you know when you're in an exam and you really really can't laugh out loud, so you're just sitting there shaking with silent laughter? yeah [:

    Had an exam where there were only 6 of us in the room so we only had two invigilators. Halfway through the exam, one fell asleep in his chair and started snoring quietly to himself. We all just looked up and were like 'Is this seriously happening?!'
    We didn't see him in any more exams after that.

    What is the funniest thing that has happened in an exam of yours?

    I have had phones go off, water spilt, people chundering and an examiner tripping down the stairs.
    The question is, why were there stairs in your exam hall? :confused:

    I will personally add an invigilator tripping over your desk & someone humming without realising it and getting told off. My exams are boring! Although tbf during today's literature exam a bomb could have gone off and I wouldn't have noticed, I was so in the zone
