    Some person in my friends maths exam just stood up in the middle of it and started shouting strange things and throwing his table around, it put everyone off and pretty much everyone didn't finish the exam.
    They took him out, but I don't know if he was disqualified, there's something wrong with him, I think it's autism or aspergers.

    I just remembered another exam hall story.
    We had a new student from Afghanistan who had joined our school a few months before that.
    When he finished his exam, he got up, and shouted out, 'Sir, I'm finish my exam'
    Everyone was like WTF.
    I think he was let off simply because it was the first time he ever sat an exam here.
    Good times.

    They do that? :eek:

    Next time I'll be more careful to not keep writing after the invigilator says 'stop'.
    It was 15 minutes long so it would have made some difference with that extra time. And a couple of exams before he had given us all a big telling off for not stopping at the end.

    I would have laughed so much at that.

    In a GCSE exam in school, two girls got kicked out of the exam near the start. I can't remember why. All I remember is that one of them was wearing a tutu for some reason.

    Today I was doing my Philosophy exam and we had to share our exam room with some Level 2 Business Studies students. Anyway, there was a fly in our exam room and this girl started screaming and saying to the invigilator "Oh my days, I cannot concentrate in this facility with that fly innit" she started hitting it with the exam paper btw. I thought she was going to get thrown out but the invigilator just laughed at her stupidity.

    Just wondering, has anyone actually seen someone get their paper ripped up?

    I've seen someone get an initial warning but nothing more
    I've just got disqualified from an A2 exam for putting my revision material under my desk without thinking when I went in. Pretty stupid in hind-sight but I put them upside down so nothing was visible. Apparently even if you can't possibly see the notes and the examiner in the room verifies you didn't try to look at them even once you can still be disqualified for having them in the room. Lame :'(

    Someone in my year got disqualified from their GCSE Music exam because they drew a stick man on it. That's a bit too far in my opinion

    I was sat near a girl when her mobile phone went off in her jacket pocket.

    It was her mum phoning to see how the exam went.

    I remember in an actual GCSE science exam, about 20 people from the year above started shouting out 'slag' at the elderly invigilator. It was obviously a pre planned thing, and because everyone had their heads down looking at their papers, the invigilators couldn't even tell who it was, as so many people were saying it. Needless to say, I've never had to suppress a laugh more urgently.

    Yeah - the idiot had his headphones hanging out of his shirt, so was asked to remove them by an invigilator. He could have probably gotten away with it if they hadn't been attached to his iPhone in his pocket. He got zero for that exam, but luckily kept his marks in other exams for that series.

    AS Theology exam - for some reason that takes a long time to explain, this particular exam was worthless to everyone in my class.
    My friend wrote a 10 page dissertation on his Football manager tactics, I went on a particularly long and offensive rant about religion in general, and some one else drew a beautifully intricate biro drawing of the back of the person taking an exam sitting in front of him. He, by the way, got kicked out.
    Also, my best friend, who has a reputation for being an outrageous nerd, sat there for an 2 hours writing nothing and when asked why he wasn't writing anything, he simply replied "exam tactics miss" and got some good laughs.

    Sounds like my General Studies exam!

    I got unreasonably angry with John Prescott in that exam...

    You guys have invigilators who actually do their job.. Some guy in the year below me turned their GCSE English Language paper into a paper airplane.. And they didn't get disqualified!!!!

    I dont think your paper ever gets ripped, you just get disqualified from all the exams of the board the day someone was caught cheating or something.
