I wish this happened at my school(Original post by jarasta)
THIS by far takes the cake and it ACTUALLY happened..it happened in a school in the same town as where I live and attend school. a student claimed he'd seen a.bomb. the police and bomb squads were sent in. All exams that day where cancelled and students got held in the car park ALL day. As a consolation everybody got doughnuts. Of course there was no bomb in the school

Re: What would be the best thing to happen in an exam?
My maths teacher told me that one year they sent out question and answer booklets to different papers for a maths D1 exam... They had to go looking for the correct one before anyone could start. Not sure how long it took them, but they showed up in the boot of somebody's car.

Re: What would be the best thing to happen in an exam?
I wish Professor Judith Rees personally walked into my exam room and said 'after much consideration, I have decided to change your offer to unconditional and after you graduate from LSE you can take my role as director.'
What do you mean that's far-fetched? Less realistic stuff could occur :P. -
Re: What would be the best thing to happen in an exam?
I actually had a fire alarm go off in my last-ever A-level, and it stopped the exam (we gathered in incommunicado on the playing field away from the rest of the school, then resumed the exam 30 minutes later).
Unfortunately, it was the most important exam of my life. -
Re: What would be the best thing to happen in an exam?A hugeeeeeee fireeeeee!!!!!!!! so that we wont have to go back to do our exams, can break up early for summer and maybe even have a late start to summer!(Original post by confusedinlife)
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?
Another wish is that the exam papers dont arrive!
Another wish I have is that the invigilator comes up to me to tell me something as my mother called, and I find out that I/my family have won the lottery!
I will be ripping up my paper and walking out saying laterzzzzz suckerz!!
printing erros on exam papers!Last edited by cool pilot dude; 27-05-2012 at 23:42. -

2) Dumb Ass invigilator gives you an Iphone with internet as a calculator in a maths exam.
3) Some smart person with the same name as you uses your name and candidate number by mistake and does the exam for you.
4) Exam delayed for a few days -
Re: What would be the best thing to happen in an exam?I GOT YOU BEAT!! The following story is 100% TRUE.(Original post by jarasta)
THIS by far takes the cake and it ACTUALLY happened..it happened in a school in the same town as where I live and attend school. a student claimed he'd seen a.bomb. the police and bomb squads were sent in. All exams that day where cancelled and students got held in the car park ALL day. As a consolation everybody got doughnuts. Of course there was no bomb in the school
During an afternoon history exam which lasted 3 hours there were only 40 of my year left in the hall (since not many people did history in our year). Anway cause not many people did history we were all fit into 2 columns and the rest of the hall is empty - bar the empty chairs. 3 invigilators (NO SERIOUSLY 3!!) all decided to sit down on the tables (simultanously??) and ALL made the tables collapse - this causes a huge domino effect knocking down 90 chairs and gives 40 year 11's the chance to go into a fit of giggles.
We all got extra time to make up for the delay and were all allowed to "go outside and get some air to calm us down"
Don't worry about the invigilators they were all fine and funnily enough weren't to keen on sitting down anymore.

Re: What would be the best thing to happen in an exam?
I've had a fire bell go off in a French exam before at GCSE. It was a listening one and we had to spend ages going back to the right part in the tape. It was so bad though, they let us all go out and the teachers just chuckled as some people chatted about the exam.
I'd LOVE to suddenly realise I could freeze time during an exam. -

It was true!!!
Just found a link.
Why couldn't this have happened during my C4 exam last year?

Re: What would be the best thing to happen in an exam?Good idea, now all I need is a willing volunteer(Original post by ChunkyFudgeLover101)
I dont know if this is true, but apparently if someone dies in the exam we all get A's.
That is all.
(just saying)
