I was going to slip it in as one of my arguments but then I was like, what if the examiner's a woman and doesnt find it funny. I did sort of manage to imply it with my argument they had failed to win over the men.

It is a reasonable argument, the whole 'women are too emotional' viewpoint is mentioned in textbooks, shame I completely forgot to cover that argument!

Although the question was an essay style one, it really could of been summed up by because they were women.

Which other question did you do in that exam?

I simply answered "42" on all the questions I didn't know in my pre IB exam.

For those of you who are not über geeks like me, "42" is, according to The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the "Almighty Answer to the Meaning of Life, the Universe, and Everything"

Well, that explains why the IB is graded out of 42 ^^

"I will rep you if you give me an A "

Did question 2 on the 1906 election and the constitutional crisis. The part a) was a breeze and part b) wasn't bad either, but I have a sneaking feeling I neglected to mention the constitutional crisis much or at all, which is a bit of a big error. How about you?

I had a question today about alternative energy; I had to explain 3 systems I could use to charge a torch battery. They're obviously looking for small, realistic systems that could probably be used at home. I wrote about 2 quite well, then couldn't think of a realistic third one and wrote about a massive geothermal energy plant, which involves using heat from deep underground to boil water and make power, and part of what I wrote was:

"The plant would stretch for dozens of miles, both across and down. Construction would take many years, and countless people would be seriously injured or possibly killed in the slow and dangerous process. The costs would run into the hundreds of billions, and public opinion of the project would fall dramatically. Eventually the construction firm would fall bankrupt, the pipelines would not be finished, and the mountains of excavated earth would be a constant reminder of the sacrafice that had been made; both in terms of money, materials, and most of all, human life. Never again would they venture towards the depths of the Earth. And all that to charge a torch battery."

The question after was about advantages, and I wrote "The third system would provide an extremely cheap, effectively never ending source of energy that would be able to efficiently charge a torch battery, as well as a country six times the size of the earth's surface. Unfortunately the world economy would collapse as the cost of preventing magma flow out of the unfinished structure would be immense, and so the benefits would never be felt."

Bearing in mind, it was a 3 hour paper, and I had time to spare at the end, and I was bored.

I noticed a spelling mistake in one of the questions, so whenever i used that word in the exam i would 'it'.

"i'm sorry i didn't revise, i promise i will resit" with a smiley face next to it

In a physics exam they asked what assumption i made when finding the answer to the previous question.....I said, I was going on the assumption that i was in fact correct lol!!

Also in a biology paper i was asked.....give 3 reasons to why conception may be hindered....my 3 answers were....the guy has a mega small penis....the guy is shooting blanks....and....the woman used to be a man but she isn't telling him that! .....it was a gift of an exam so i thought i could spare a few marks to humour myself...and the examiner hopefully

I love the old classic....when asked to "find x"......[place a circle around the x in the diagram and annotate with "there he is"]

this is an easy one. CHM4 last thursday. One question had you draw out some chemical and then say what it can be used for, some secondary amine or something.

So I didn't have a clue and wrote: " Well the chemical may taste like apples...sour apples. Thus it can be used in sour apple liquer/schnappes!....HAVE YOU TRIED IT EXAMINER! Bet you haven't, so you don't know I'm wrong, I bet you no one has made a liquer with this chemical! Don't tell me I'm wrong when no one knows!

also for part of Section B I had no clue and although I put an answer I knew it was a load of BS so I wrote a P.S. underneath it...

"Look i know my answers to this question are terrible but people always say put something don't just leave it blank. Thing about that is when you don't write anything it says you don't know. If you put something idiotic like I just did it makes you look stupid, I'm NOT stupid by the way. But yeah I think it's better to save face and just not answer if you don't know.

Examiner is going to have an interesting time.

I remember aages ago for a SATS practice or something I wrote -number. And did lots of crossing out and the minus was really small so in brackets I put (this is a minus number, sorry about that!)

Think it worked

[menaa-x]

I think at the end of my June law one, because I know I really ****** up I wrote a note to the examiner and said 'I'll draw a big heart to make it up to you' and then covered the whole page in a haa-uge love heart Ridiculous, but not funny

English Language in our school often brings out the funnys.

Its amazing how 100 students when asked "Describe a time when you felt like an outsider" write about coming from africa to live here.

In a film exam...something to do with Ridley Scott using Ripley as the first female sci-fi protagonist and using her because "he was going against Mulvey's theory and the EOA 1975 by using a male role and turning it female"

GCSE PE: Done BTEC in Sport, finished the course 2 months early so naturally we were entered into the GCSE PE exam Didn't revise as I had Music that day which was far more important - anyways, the question of the endomorph, exomorph and the other who's name eludes me came up - I ended up putting 'Pie eater' for the larger guy.. I got a D!
