Wow, the whole world? Never met anyone who likes complex numbers that much. :P

Sorry you struggled with it though!

In the maths paper, a friend of mine wrote a big long paragraph explaining how he was full sure that the question was written wrong on the exam paper and how the equation would work out fine if the was a 6x instead.. :rolleyes:

Needless to say he felt like a twat when he came out and I showed him what he did wrong :P

Haha it would be a pretty collossal mistake if the SEC had a question that didn't work on the paper after all the checks and reviews etc!

Reminds me of my physics mock. The question was something 'an experiment to show electric field strength' and it's supposed to be that mini experiment about those seeds that line up or something.

I blanked, so I wrote "It's actually quite obvious - if you touch an electric field, and it doesn't shock you, it isn't strong, but an electric field that does shock you is stronger". It was corrected by my teacher - he gave me a big fat 0 and a "Nice try Tim!"

For History in a class test we had, we got asked what was the cold war. I had pretty much slept through that whole week..

I went for the logical option and said it was a war in a cold place.. :rolleyes:

I always forget those demonstration experiments. Probably because they never worked in my class xD

They never work for us as well. Physics experiments never work - it's a joke. The only experiment that worked perfectly for us was Boyles Law

I left a note in English two...Like near the end of my King Lear Q *Sorry i ran out of time, it was a big rush!* :P

why would you write that instead of more about king lear seeing as the latter may actually get you some points

Cause she had already told us to stop writing. Squeezed in another sentence of lear and then scribbled it...

There was someone in my school a few years back who only studied Heaney for the poetry and was pretty confident that it was a sure thing for him to up. Surprise, surprise Heaney didnt come up. So, in his anger he wrote 'WHERE THE F*CK IS SEAMUS HEANY' all over his exam booklet... He did not do well in English :P

Our principal was telling us of a student in his last school. Wrote a profane essay about his teacher, Dept rejected it and sent it back to the school!

I didnt think it possible but our principal isnt the BSing type.

In my J.C which was over 4 years ago now i thanked the examiner for correcting my exam at the end of it. Thinking back it was a pretty stupid thing to do as it done absolutely no good or harm.

To say they'll cancel your script is just pure lies. They'll only cancel what you've handed in if you've offended them majorly via a personal threat, money taped into the booklet, or if you as someone mentioned included your email in order to contact the examiner.

I'm sure that by saying ''I need a b3 for college'' won't get your script cancelled but DO NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, JUST DON'T DO IT.

Examiners are professional enough to distinguish between bribes and just basic manners and the like.

Hope this helps i done my LC last year and got high 400's in points so anythings possible.:D

Good luck to all of you in the rest of your exams. It's not as bad as it's hyped up to be but what i will say is i don't envy you lot.

I don't think you're allowed to, I'm pretty sure they report it. And apparently they're pretty picky about writing in that margin on the right. I was tempted to write something on my disgust about no Boland, but thought, that would be childish and gay.:P

And also,


Someone has actually done that?

My dad used to do the corrections and he said he got a five pound note in one once with a note saying "please pass me". he failed tho! but I don't think gis paper got reported, then again, a older time.

THIS is one of the best threads i have ever read, thank you for taking my mind off the next few exams XD

I think I wrote something like "Question 2 at end of booklet and Q5 after Q3 - Sorry!" in my Biology exam because I did the questions in such a weird order and was terrified I hadn't made it clear enough.

LOL at people actually sticking money in the booklet! I know we all joke about it but ffs...

Does anyone know what would happen if you forgot to write your calculator number and type for your math exam? They wouldn't deduct marks would they?

My classics teacher wouldn't accept that, "Jonathan Smyth". No no no :P


Yano I think I heard that John Smith wasn't actually the most common full name. Just John is the most common first name and Smith is the most common second name, but together there isn't too many :P haha.

Well my maths paper was covered in notes describing to the examiner what I was doing. It was so messy that I never had a chance to tidy it up really and so all I could do was write notes explaining myself.

And the good old "ran out of time" line...

There was a french comprehension(OL) about Jeremy Toulalan and there was a question about his attributes or something of the sort and I went and said he's simple and works hard blah blah then I had off topic: Very unlike Thierry Henry who's a cheat and does anything to win. :pac: Hope the examiner has a sense of humour.

I'm an examiner. Notes of any kind are so irritating, for your own sake, please don't write anything!! Each script is just a n umber and they're marked twice anyway so u can't get a higher mark for "trying to be nice"!! Hope i don't sound rude saying that, but it's the truth
