so there me was, at my desk, reading along my bio lecture exam ... when I come across a fill in the blank spot with the definition reading "the study of carbon" ... I froze up, as I had no clue ... I didn't remember going over that, I wracked my brain for what seemed to be forever and eventually gave up and wrote down "carbonics".

The answer was organic chemistry XD can you believe that?? carbonics, like it's ebonics??

anyone else have stories like these?

LOL That's funny XD I've never done that before but it sounds like something I would do lol. I remember when I was in 2nd grade we had these reports we'd fill out after we read a book and one of the questions was: Why do you like this book? I replied with "I don't know, I just do ok?" XDDD

gah. That sounds like me in Bio.
I get so confused/angry at questions, I just can't help but answer things stupidly.

"Describe the function of Helper T cells...."

....They help. They help a lot.

Plus, I just tend to get very cynical with answers. Very cynical indeed.

I know I've done that before. I can't really think of anything off the top of my head right now, but I know I've done it.

Oh! I know! Recently on a math quiz the teacher put a problem with patterns. I couldn't figure it out to save my life. In then end I just filling in the blanks with "I. Don't. Know."

I've done similar things.
A lot of the time I just make stuff up.
Like if it asks for a person, and I don't know, I usually put the teacher's name. xD

I just had a vocabulary quiz in English, consisting of 20 words. As the English teacher was giving instructions, I was asked a question by the girl sitting behind me, and completely missed what we were supposed to do. I knew I had heard the phrases "write sentences" and "multiple choice". The multiple choice was fairly self explanatory, but the sentences. Oh Gosh. I had already written decent sentences for about 12 words when somebody asked exactly what I was wondering, "How many sentences are we supposed to write?"
"Seven."
After writing a big OOPS next to the last few sentences, I turned in my paper. Extra credit, hopefully.

Last year we had a test that had a question at the end:

"Who is the man? A: Mr. Beckett B:Mr. Beckett, C: Mr. Beckett, D: Mr. Beckett". Needless to say, Mr. Beckett didn't like how half of my class wrote "E: Mrs. Ackers" (my math teacher).

@Queen Fool ~ :lol: That's great.

I remember back in high school I was taking physics. I think it was physics. It was something science-y, I remember that. I do remember I did very poorly in that class. We were given a test, don't ask me on what, but I remember answering on one of the problems, "I'm afraid I cannot answer this question because it goes against my religion."

Needless to say, that didn't fly.

I've done stuff like that before!
Take today for example.
I had an English test on the book Wide Sargasso Sea.
And yes, this will only make sense to those that have read the book, but one of the questions asked me Daniel Cosway's traditional name and I drew a blank.
I eventually put down Obeah. Definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obeah
I knew it was wrong, but I didn't want to leave it blank.
D;

Ive never had a funny situation in an exam, but i do find it amusing when they print [Blank Page] on the blank pages of the exam paper. It makes me laugh because its not a blank page - it has blank page written on it!

Just thought it would be fun to share that lmao!

I had an incident during finals last year in which my physics class we were told to perform a lab procedure, the one where you make the burning candle float on water (lol like jesus xD)
and we had to use the lab hose-thing to put water into the pan
I was only half-listening to the instructions so by the time I got to the water part I flipped the knob and an explosion of foamy wet water splurred out an I was all like 'D= wth just happened?' once I got it finally turned off the teacher gave me a dirty look an I was covered in water the rest of the day
I'm not any more careful but it hasn't happened recently so I'm happy =D

Well I remember that after having trouble with a few questions in an algebra/triganometry test back in grade 8, my teacher (Mrs. Munyard) worded one of the questions like this:

"Find x."

So I looked at the diagram of the triangle, circled the 'x' side and then drew an arrow pointing to it saying "There it is."

Apparently she didn't find it anywhere near as amusing as I did.
-shrugs-

i have a tiny story about science class, t'wasn't a test and it wasn't funny at least not to me >.<

well we had to disect frogs, well i'm not squemish or nothing so while my partner stood as far away as she could without actually leaving the desk i leaned in with the scapel and made an incison along the belly of the frog and *squirt* fromadlhyde froggy juice in my face and me going *spitspitspit pitoh yeeeeach, bleh.....eeeeeewww* and the class going hahahahahahaha ...>.> yeah not the best day ever and i had to dispose of the frogs taking the trash out to the dumpster.

hehehe. i don't think i have had anything like that happen to me, but then again, i didn't really pay attention during my exams. I think the most weirdest things i did during an exam was....sat there in an art exam & i was tapping my pencil so fast on the table that a broke it XD lol.
& then after that, my desk kinda collapsed XD
everyone looked at me XD lol

We had a practice state test last year, and there was all these questions from things we learned like, in 6th grade. We were freshmen, and yet afterwards, the talk of hard questions centered on a question as to what the three basic types of rock were! I got two of the three right, I think. It was pathetic. :P

In an exam, the last question was: Why is this test so easy if your teacher hates you?

I had that one wrong, I think x3

Uhm, I wrote that fat didn't dissolve in water because it wasn't water soluble.

I studied for that one, too.

I've had some funny exams, but nothing like writing strange things on the papers.

My highschool German exam we were granted more time than we needed. So me and a group of my friends dotted around the room began to play head shoulders knees and toes in silence. We weren't breaking the rules. Well that's how we discovered it only takes four people situated around a room to get half a class doing head shoulders knees and toes in unanimous silence.

We've also done one finger one thumb keep moving. I think that was a science exam... Needless to say we all got shouted at with the stand up sit down part. After the teachers had got over their shock that a half the hall all rose and sat together at random intervals. Luckily that wasn't an official exam, just a practice one because we were all disqualified.

I remember once in a mock Maths test I did, every answer I didn't know I simply wrote '64' down, just so it looked like I had written something.

Our Teacher marked them, gave them back and as I was flicking through one of the '64's I had written was actually the correct answer!!

I didn't get full marks though as there was no workings out!
xD
