    What would be the best thing to happen in an exam?
    We've all done it.
    We stop writing and wish something will happen mid- exam in order to get us out of actually doing the rest of the exam...

    Someone faints, the whole exam hall suddenly bursts into song, fire alarm goes off, invigilator gets stuck between two tables etc.

    So, what would be your ideal event to get you out of that damn exam hall?

    Erm I don't think I've ever stopped writing for five minutes to think about such things. :confused: Unless we're talking about a general studies exam

    Flying saucer attack or zombie apocalypse... Sure everyone thinks that, realistically you'll probably have to settle for pigeons humping on the windowledge.

    A power cut would be pretty good

    Or some music randomly playing and the whole hall (including invigilators) start singing

    *sigh* unfortunately nothing interesting will ever happen in an exam

    the best I got was an invigilator drop a massive pile of books everywhere

    One of the invigilators projectile vomiting and Sh***ing diarrhoea everywhere, and you having to be evacuated outside because the old spinster has caused a health and safety conundrum and the smell's to unbearable.

    Like in the T-Mobile adverts!

    Best thing that could happen is that the head of AQA or whatever bursts in to the exam hall and says the papers are all wrong so everyone can have an A for the inconvenience caused

    Unimaginative, I know.

    My friends planned on having a screaming fit if the exam was not to her liking, however the exam went rather well.

    I can't say I've thought about it mid-exam however the fire alarm has gone off which was more of an annoyance than a blessing :/

    Shakira walks into the hall, comes over to my desk, swipes my paper and pens to the floor, grabs me by the scruff of the neck and demands my sexual services in the nearest store-room.

    Before I go, I make sure to grab my student card so that after our two and a half minutes of bliss I can get us free cheeseburgers from McDonalds.

    Our English teachers forgot to put out the set texts for us. If there wasn't an English teacher still in the building we probably could have used our annotated texts... We just started 15 minutes late once they ran around finding the blank books.

    I'm thinking something similar to that scene in skins, where cassie dances to funky town with the two invigilators.

    I dont know if this is true, but apparently if someone dies in the exam we all get A's.
    That is all.
