Have you ever wrote a note to the examiner?

I have once in GCSE history, I wrote something along the lines of

"Hey mr examiner, how you doin? Sorry about the handwriting and have a great day!"

I did pass that paper (technically :P)

Does writing notes affect your results at all? I am thinking to write a lovely note in my final A level exam ever which is my A2 psychology paper in June!

What have you wrote? Did you pass or fail? Better than you expected? Worse?

I wouldn't say mine was a note. But in my Physics exam there was a question that they asked that must have been created in an alternate universe. I put "I don't know."
That's as far as it goes for me! Got an A though but it was only a 1 marker.

lol, you probabaly should have left it blank! WHY DO PEOPLE NEG SO MUCH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH, I promise it wasn't me!

It depends, if I know I'm doing well, and the subject is easy (general studies for eg) I take the piss. There was a question on Monday's paper about unemployment, and I had just started to have a rant about tax payers money "mr. examiner, can you believe that?"

I personally haven't left a message for the examiner, but one of my friends took M1 and really didn't like it. So they decided to write a message saying "Dear Mr Examiner, please give me marks, I need a good grade for uni". They knew it was a bit of a long shot but they thought they'd give it a try :P

I know someone who answered their general studies paper really well and then got bored at the end, so wrote "Justin Bieber is a ****"...... and got given a U!

Personally, I once drew an elaborate portrait of one of the invigilators on a blank page halfway through the paper... funnily enough, I ended up with full ums :redface:

No I haven't, when I was doing A levels we were told that doing that would be a serious offence :s

I know someone who, instead of writing an essay about Romeo and Juliet, he wrote about why he hated his teachers and his school.

I think he knew he was going to fail and just didn't care. He actually didn't turn up to the rest of his exam and just smoked weed in a field.

He ended up taking two more years to take his A levels.... so I don't recommend doing what he did!

But no, as for me, I haven't written notes to my examiners! I've always been writing up until the last second so I haven't had a chance :P

I once wrote a GCSE English essay on 'an activity you hate' by doing the activity of English exams. At the end I wrote something along the lines of 'and if an examiner somewhere happens to be reading this, then please don't take it too seriously'. I got an A for that paper, and that's as rebellious as I've been in an exam (except writing a commentary on my French listening exam - 'a joystick, seriously? What is this, 1995?')

On a test exam once for science I got half way through and then just wrote "I'm sorry I don't know the answers" on the back page. The teacher went bat**** crazy and yelled at me in front of the whole class for that but I wasn't alone, no-one did particularly well on that one.
