As for worst exam mistakes I've just done your basic simple numerical errors, never spilt water over my exam or anything like that. In one of my prelims though my timing was terrible and I had to miss out like 12 marks worth of questions in a 100 mark exam. Was on question 12 of 16 when there was like 5 minutes left.

In my GCSE English language GCSE my phone went off ; It was in my bag. I thought I was screwed, but it turned out to be fine in the end.

In Chemistry coursework there were 2 chances to leave early if you were finished and I thought the second 'early time' was the end of the whole time so I left and then wasn't allowed back in :frown:

In a mock exam question for Classics, I misread the question and produced a good essay on the wrong topic.

Unfortunately we don't tend to find the dumbest ones because we don't notice them at the time, and aren't significant enough to remember.

My 'dumbest' so far was resolving using energy principles to find the maximum height of an object moving in a vertical circle rather than tension in the string, but I'm sure that's not the kinda answer you wanted :wink:

On my Biology, I missed out the last page for an exam, where I knew all the answers, because that is when I decided to do the 6- marker. And then I forgot about it.

Was 5 UMS off an A*. -_____-

There are a couple that I've had. In my French GCSE Listening exam the audio was muffled, I didn't pay too much attention to it and I probably should've notified one of the invigilators. Luckily the reading paper was easy but I'm not sure if I scraped an A on the listening.
