Any Funny Exam Memories?

[mrs_overall]

After my O level English language exam, we were all talking about the exam and comparing answers. Part of the exam was an essay and we had to take our essay title from half a dozen single dramatic words. One lad told us he had picked the word "Sinking!" and had written his essay about a day in the life of a plumber. I think he failed.
(Thanks to Zac's for the idea for this thread)

Yes........first anatomy exam at medical school....question 1 "Give an account of the anatomy of the vagina"

All the men said that it went upwards and backwards.....all the women said it went downwards and forwards.

Why would he have failed necessarily?
If he'd written a good essay he might actually have been marked up for originality

When I used to mark scuba theory papers I can remember one question that always elicited funny answers
Q What is the name of the tube that connects the ear to the throat?

One person wrote "Euston Station tube"
Another wrote "fallopian tube"

ichkeria, you didn't know this boy. He genuinely had L and R written on the soles of his PE plimsolls

My English A' level was a bit of an all round disaster.

We were doing Richard II. One of the questions was "how much sympathy do you feel for Richard when he returns from France". I didn't even know he'd been to bloody France. (hadn't read it. At all).

Barmaid, you could have written that you felt sorry for him returning from France as it is always sad when your holiday is over and you have to go back to work

In an English exam that I did, we had a student teacher (female) who was particularly attractive, in an English teacher way. During the exam we were in rows, far enough apart so we couldn't cheat, with one teacher at the back of the room and one at front. During the exam the student teacher was walking up and down the rows looking at the work we were doing, at one point she walked past the class comedian, looked at his work then walked forward, when she did this he stuck his hand out and pretended to grab her bum, at the same time looking back and grinning like a plonker, she decided to step backward to appraise his work again and without realising it actually did grab her bum. She turned round and gave him the most almighty clip round the ear to everyone else's delight! After things had settled down the English teacher himself, who was a bit of character, walked down the row to the lad in question, bent down and whispered in his ear "was it worth it". Still makes me laugh but then I'm easily pleased!

Ah! I hope they were the right way round :-)

eastern - a harmless funny story. God knows what would happen if that event took place today - assault, indecent assault, stress, litigation etc.

First year at secondary school, various years were in the sports' hall doing end of year exams and public exams. After I'd read through my first year biology exam paper about 3 girls in my year started crying - turned out they'd been given the A level paper.

Giving my age away!!

Not exam related at all, but still a stupid answer.

Family Fortunes asked contestants to name a bird with a long neck and the answer from one not so bright gentleman was "Naiomi Campbell".

eastern, I think you are doing great for someone age 95 ;-)

Duncer, there is a whole book devoted to Family Fortunes answers.

My favourite was sisters who were asked the question "Other than a door, name something you can open."
One sister said "your bowels"
Another sister said "your legs"

I forgot to mention the lads name was Tom Brown!

Mrs O, another FF question.

Name a dangerous race?

The Arabs.

Thought Mrs Overalls Q & A would have been more appropriate for Ms Campbell. Hiss!!!!
