Whats the most ridiculous statement you have ever put in a exam?

Scroll to see replies

For my three hour AS history exam (which I obviously didnt revise for) I had a personal chat with myself. Firstly, I mentioned that big brother was starting tonight and that you didnt require an A level in history to get on TV etc. Then started telling the examiner all about my plans for the summer and how that related and contrasted to Hitlers third Reich
I got an E - WELL HAPPY !

In my history exam I used the words along the lines "due to the socialist rheotoric of somewhat..." I didn't even know what I was saying, I just overheard it from someone, I was clueless in the exam as I only revised a few days before, yet I got an A anyway!

n my year 7 exam I got naturalists and naturists mixed up...

"There is a nature reserve which would be greatly appreciated by naturists..." :getmecoat:

Sadly, I still got the mark!

Haha.

One of my friends in Biology GCSE mock made the classic mistake of mixing up orgasm and organism. FAIL.

I've never really anything dumb on purpose but I remember in RE GCSE we had a thing where if one person coughed, everyone had to stop coughing. Very juvenile.

Exams are serious now :frown:

No messing about :frown:

I use General Studies exams as a test of examiners' will to continue their career. I don't push it too far though; I don't want to have all my exams failed.

You claim to be good at English but your tense is wrong.

Ooooh, harsh.

I've never really put anything ludicrous - I've taken all my exams seriously so far (except perhaps GCSE Graphic Design).

In one Philosophy paper, however, I said something to the effect of Kant being the worst philosopher of all time and that all his theories should be dismissed immediately. This from a pathetic little AS student :smile:

In my January Philosophy AS exam I managed to write in the phrase "easily comparable to Extreme Ironing". I got a C :smile:

I quoted Gandalf and Dumbledore in my GCSE RE exam. Got a B w00t.

In General Studies at college I didn't answer the questions I just wrote about how my mother is a lunatic, then I wrote some questions of my own and put my email, in case the person marking my paper wanted to answer them. Which they didn't.

Ahaha, this just made my day. Would've been epic if the examiner had e-mailed :p:

+rep for you :biggrin:

In my English Language GCSE I practically wrote an erotic passage when asked to describe myself :p:

... Let's just say I had a lot of fun with it and was almost chuckling out loud to myself praying for a male marker :p:

In the other paper I also quoted Martin Luther King in a persuasive speech about some school trip and took persuasion to the utter extreme of anything reasonable... Again, I had a hell of a lot of fun.

Clearly my paper was considered original and I came out with an A*, despite poor coursework... Hahaha!

In Graphics GCSE (I was soooo terrible at Graphics it was untrue :p:

), I didn't have a clue what 'cow gum' was and there were tons of questions on it so basically I just started ranting on about how vegetarians might find it offensive... To this day I still don't have a clue what it is :p:

...

For essays in exams I absolutely adore slotting in seemingly irrelevant detailed facts and making them relevant :p:

... This is, tbh, due to my own poor revision and the fact I get totally distracted by seemingly irrelevant facts during revision. For example, my revision on domestic workers has already lead to a one hour reading on sex workers and my sole mission is to wind this into my arguments in a seamless manner for my exam :wink:

... Hahahaha... I really am sad. :p:

I did a lot of working out and hard work in a Chemistry exam only to find that the question was worth 1 mark.
So I wrote "I think this was worth a little more than 1 mark. I worked really hard on it :smile:

"

In my General Studies exam I had to write about contraception and RE being made compulsory. I went on a massive rant about how sex ed classes should be swapped with RE lessons. I went on about Catholic culture and how the Catholics have "had it right from the beginning". I didn't really believe this but it made interesting righting :smile:

I got an A as well :redface:

well in my algebra paper last year I had a question which was "prove this" and i wrote "well I have no idea how to prove this, but if the question was "this" then this would be the proof" and wrote down the proof for that.
I passed though I've no idea if I got marks for it.

And yeah that maths thing where you have X and you just say "therefore we can see from X that Y holds" when there's absolutely no relation.

and although it's not an exam, in my physics presentation last year I managed to squeeze in "one point twentyone jiggawatts"
