    I remember in my chem mock for standard grade, we had to draw methane being bubbled through water to some rubbish. Anyway, I drew the upside-down test tube...then it started to look like a penis when I added in all the details, and I kinda doodled the extras..."TIME UP".

    I remember getting that paper back with the big red "?" It was so embarrassing :o:

    Chemistry too...We had to describe how we would make a buffer solution from a bunch of stuff. I had absolutely no idea (lousy teaching + last-minute cramming) so wrote "by magic"

    I can't remember any ridiculous things I've put specifically. I remember a few instances where I've wrote things, thought about it for a second, then just smirked at it for whatever reason. In my English A2 synopsis exam I made an unintentional pun near the start of the exam. I was commenting on food and how it links with overweight children in the media, saying it was a "large" problem and had "huge" ramifications or something. I realised what it might sound like to the examiner and just chuckled and carried on. Put me at ease for the rest of the exam anyway. Long ass exam too.

    GCSE PE: Done BTEC in Sport, finished the course 2 months early so naturally we were entered into the GCSE PE exam :confused: 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!
    The other one's mesomorphic. :yes:
    I would know the answer to that question because there's a poster outside the changing rooms, and we make fun of this obese guy by pointing at the endomorphic guy (it's not nice but I'm not a nice person).

    I've never written anything stupid in actual exams but my mock-mock graphics test was my retard-fest. I still got a C.

    I woke up, smoked a joint and completely forgot I had an ICT exam at 9:00am. I had a little trouble concentrating and couldn't recall any information relating to the subject matter, so I went on a little 10-page digression concerning consciousness and subjective existence.

    My question was on SSL encryption.

    I was trying to fail my citizenship exam, so I decided to write as a crazy Marxist, misquoting a bunch of authors and moaning about society.

    Still got a C

    There was a question in a statistics exam about a taxi driver being late. I wrote that the passenger should have asked if he was a wizard, for a wizard is never late nor early, he arrives precisely when he means to.

    Something about old people growing cabbages for a hobby. It was in general studies and we all had a challenge to fit the word cabbage in. I didn't do any of the others though, and some people just wrote the word as a sentence... I made it fit the question

    In one of my chemistry exams the question was something like "name this alkene" I didn't know what it was so I wrote a few lines about how I can't name it because I don't know what gender it is, and then proceeded to write a list of all the unisex names I knew

    Short course, compulsary Welsh;

    "Dinosoriaid fi yn hoffi am eu bod yn bwyta arholwyr."

    Which translates to "I like dinosaurs because they eat examiners." Extremely tangential to the question, but whatevs.

    In RE I ended all long-answer questions with a paragraph about how my beliefs - that the Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe - conflict with all major religions.
