What are your worst nightmares regarding exams?

One of my worst nightmares would be to have a 9 AM exam and wake up at 11:30 AM. I wouldn't know what to do in that situation lol.

Or waking up and forgetting you have an exam in an hour... .
May this never happen.

Not wearing trousers for a 2.5 hour English exam :/
All my pens run out

The paper is on everything I haven't revised

It's in Arabic

I wake up too late and miss it

I answer too many questions or the wrong ones

My pens running out - that's why I tend to have a pencil case with about 10 black pens in :L

If my graphical calculator were to run out of juice at the start of an exam...

This almost happened yesterday in S1, thankfully there was enough to last the entire exam :smile:
I relive my nightmares every time I am in the exam hall.

One of the invigilators has what looks like a post-traumatic stress twitch, where she constantly but very gently shakes her head. She has a habit of standing near me when I'm writing; I look up and see her shaking her head, judging me and my answers!

She's a lovely lady, but it's so bloody unnerving.

In year 10 I thought she was trying to correct an answer on my Maths GCSE paper. I got only got a B in it, so maybe she was?
Pooing myself.

pen exploding in my face
Fainting during it. I have a phobia of blood/needles/disease and in a year 10 geography paper there was a question about world development and disease fainted in the middle of exam hall- hence I take exams in a smaller room but still worried about it :/

Failing, surely?

Getting a boner.
Going to the exam hall and finding I haven't been entered for the exam/entered for the wrong subject. Or think the exam is in the afternoon, show up at the school and it was actually in the morning. Or think I have my revision under control and all well thought out and planned ahead, and then I realise I've forgotten about an exam and it's like the next day and I haven't revised for it at all.

These are recurring ones :colonhash:

A motorbike shooting out the exam paper and smacking me in the face, causing me to have a violent nosebleed.

Opening the paper, and despite having revised the whole course, thinking "what?"

This.

Nothing worse than looking at a question and having absolutely no idea what to write.

Sneezing in a Spanish listening exam causing me and the whole year fail the paper, and the fire alarm going off in the middle of a paper.
Going in to results day and finding out I failed everything, but got an A in Iron Man.

(My friend actually had this dream. xD)
