    Not sure, but my second year Globalisation exam (in which I scored 39%) was probably full of ridiculous statements.

    Not a statement but in GCSE PSE exam there was a question about the environment and I accidentally put pubic instead of public lucky I had enough time in the end to proof read it.

    I wrote a little poem to the examiner in my Maths exam today:

    Dear my examiner,
    Sorry I don't know the answer.
    I wish I knew,
    But I ain't got a clue.
    I thank you for your time,
    This exam made my day fine.
    I wonder if I am one of a few,
    Who wrote a poem, just for you. (insert many small hearts here)

    It's the best I could come up with in ten minutes

    Did anyone just watch Graham Norton? They just went through some funny exam answers. Absolutely hilarious.

    One of them was (I am paraphrasing here) What is the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction? The kid wrote, "It feels better"! Lol.

    in our media studies exam, we had to come up with a reality game show that promoted good role models. One of my friends came up with midget dwarf wrestling...

    i did AS maths a year early, which was stupid because we hadnt done GCSE yet, they had just assumed that we'd understand the A level stuff automatically, and that would make GCSE maths even easier :rolleyes:

    so halfway through my C1 exam, i had written and crossed out 2 pages worth of working out for one question and i just gave up. so i drew a picture of a flower with a smiley face across the whole of the next A4 page and wrote a little note to the examiner saying "hope you liked the picture!"

    got a D in the end

    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?
    Degree finals:

    ... and so in conclusion one can say that W.B.Yeates was not a Buddhist.

    (no one has EVER suggested he was but still, just in case anyone had any doubts....... )

    I did an S level in Geology in addition to the A level - mainly to look good on the uni application forms. Unfortunately the S levels started after the last A levels and we'd had a massive party the night before the S level Geology exam.

    I was extremely hung over and the entire exam was essay based. The first question was "What it would be like to be a fish in a Pre-Cambiran Ocean?"

    I wrote something like:

    "I am too hung over to be bothered with this stupid question"

    And staggered out.

    Fortunately I got an A in the A level

    After waffling in my English Lit AS exam for about an hour and a half I concluded with a sincere apology to the examiner for wasting his time.

    Basically, I wrote in my A2 history exam that Elizabeth I was a bitch. I totally mocked her without hesitation praise.

    English Literature GCSE 2010, I had to answer a question on the play Blood Brothers by Willy Russell. I opened the essay with; "Blood Brothers is a play written by Willy Russell (He will if you wrap him in foil)"

    My English teacher nearly killed me when I told her, luckily I had an A and i'm still alive haha.

    I somehow worked in a reference to the Stasi during my Gen. studies exam. I'm not even sure WHY I thought this was a good idea.
