    Inspired by the General Studies thread where people are talking about how they just wrote crap.

    So, what is the most ludicrous thing you have ever wrote in an exam? Also, which exam was it?

    In my practice writing French exam I was writing about my mother. My teacher told me to make comparisons and share my opinions so...I wrote:

    (Translated)
    I am jealous of my mother because she is skinnier than me and I am round like a snowman.

    In the creative writing part of my English exam I was writing about Stockholm syndrome, which I didn't say but implied.

    About 30 seconds before the end I realised I'd actually been hinting at Germany and had to scribble a note saying "it just occured to me Stockholm is actually in Sweden. Please replace any references to Germany with ones to Sweden, eg. Ikea."

    I got an A*, so I give the little details don't matter too much.

    Went into my AS Psychology exam without having revised and obviously didn't know what to write, so I wrote about why I had failed the exam and how much the person who was sat in front of my was annoying me. The person in front of me was eventually ejected from the exam hall for disruption.

    RE mock test last year, 1 mark question:

    Question: "What is death?"
    My answer: "Death is when you stop living and you die."

    Sounds ridiculous, but I got the mark for it. :rofl:

    History AS, managed to successfully argue that Benjamin Disraeli (1870s) was to blame for the Rwandan Genocides (1994). 96% thank you very much.

    I remember going through our GCSE mock RE exam last year. I'd actually missed the exam as I was sick, so I was sharing with my friend. On one of the questions where it said "what is a Christian's view on' (can't remember what it was) he wrote:

    'I don't know, ask a Christian. Alternatively, you could ask Chuck Norris'.

    Unsurprisingly, he didn't get any marks for it, but it was funny.

    Crossed out the 20-something mark essay question at the end of my GCSE food technology exam (which was about eggs) and wrote above the question "Write a pretty song about eggs"

    And then I wrote the song that me and Laura devised in our food tech lessons:

    Uptown Egg,
    She's been living in a hard boiled shell
    Bet she never met a caged-raised guy
    Bet her henny never told her why
    That hens could fly

    and then she gooooooees in the pan,
    and she fry-yyy-yyyy's
    I bet that's when she meets
    her caged-raised guy

    I said she looked good fried,
    then i got swallowed by Hank and died
    With the Uptown Egg!
    My uptown Eeeeeeg
    You know i've been eaten with an
    Uptown egg,
    My uptowwwwwnnnn egggggg...
    no way

    :rofl: what did you get?

    "Is the closing of cinemas just a conspiracy from the government to get us to buy more petrol?"

    In a critical thinking exam I put

    'THIS IS **** AND POINTLESS. I SHOULD BE REVISING FOR BIOLOGY''

    I subsequently turned over the page and did four pages of Biology revision

    In a DT exam I was confronted with a question about the best use of materials for something or other (it was more complicated than it sounds). There was a pretty big space for a detailed answer, but I had no idea what it was talking about, so I just drew a big picture of a boat.

    Along the lines of:

    No, because apparently if a room was 100% full of oxygen you would die also
