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

In a physics exam it asked why the double-slit experiment effect didn't happen when you had people walking between two trees. I wrote an essay explaining it would happen if you used a stream of very fat people going at high speeds through the trees.

In maths gcse the question was something like 'expand (2x + 3)(x - 1)'

So I wrote:
(.....2.....x.....+.....3.....).....(.....x.....-.....1.....)

Genius! this is what is wrong with different terminology for different subjects

Physics GCSE, we had a picture and had to label, I saw a long tube going from what was obviously a fuel tank to a plane. I said it was a rope to stop the plane flying away "/

Well about to of us decided it was a good idea to our RS exam to fit in somewhere indiana jones and star wars. However i did get an A.
Also not so much a funny thing to write but in year 11 we had a biology exam and it was a multiple choice question about the theory of evolution and whos was it. My mate got that wrong, to this day it still makes me laugh.

In my English Language exam (A Level) it was an old pre-war recipe extract or something, and it asked a question about what a certain line was implying (the line mentioned innards or something). I was totally rushing by this point cos I'd left the question til last... I spent 10 mins talking about chicken ****. Literally.

General Studies, last year.

A question vaguely related to some statistics released by the Conservative Party. I glanced at the clock, realised that my verbosity had left me with five minutes of writing time left to go, and just scribbled "David Cameron is a santimonious arse".

Walked out. Got a U.
I don't think I've ever been prouder of a failure.

The statement is correct, however your misspelling of sanctimonious is possibly what earn you the U. Other than that it's surely deserving of at least a B.

It wasn't a written exam, but in an oral I said the word for ham instead of leg when talking about an injury and the teacher wouldn't stop laughing.
I didn't know what II'd done and I couldn't ask because I was being taped...was embarrassing :-/

I once spent my entire general studies extended answer writing out biology and psychology essays.
ended it saying
'Oh no! This is general...sorry!'

Once in a Science exam in year 8 I wrote, when asked to describe the process of birth- 'When a woman gives birth, firstly her uterus and ovaries fall out, then the baby is born a bit later.'
No wonder i got a D at GCSE :smile:

I once managed to relate every part of an AS general studies exam to penguins.

In my general studies exam I wrote some pretty stupid stuff, I can't remember what though it was two years ago.
More recently, in key skills mock papers I wrote some ridiculous stuff. The teacher was always asking about boyfriends (the whole class was girls) so when I had to write about a picture of an old ugly guy I wrote about how sexy he was. ahemm. I don't think I ever answered a key skills paper seriously until the real thing.

Oh yeah, I also tend to make up historians with German names, like Hauser, Merken-Weiss, and Blas.

In my physics ISA, I wrote a whole paragraph about how a certain question was stupid, and it did not relate to the topic in question [because I was in a bad mood with stupid questions, and the teacher. I thought I would give them something else to read apart from correct answers]
I still got 29/41 for it though. I think that's a low B :'D
But I never do good on ISAs tho.

I had an exam that I couldn't be ****** with which had a source from the daily mail (which I can't abide) so I just spent the whole essay ripping it out of the daily mail... and got a C which I was quite proud of considering all I did was rip the piss out of a newspaper :biggrin:

Not an exam, but when applying for my work experience 2 years ago, I had to fill in why I wanted to go to the place which I did, which was a solicitor's office.

I wrote that I was interested in soliciting.

My 'boss' for the week had a chat with me when I was there, and calmly explained that soliciting did not mean interested in solicitors, but that it was actually a form of prostitution.

Shame. :sadnod:
