Is it true that you get an A2 if someone dies in your exam?

    Yes, of course this is fact. It's sacrifice for the fine weather we get during the leaving cert every year. The more A2's the better.

    Not A1's though, they're overkill

    So if I walk up to my examiner in maths and say 'Hey brah gotta urinate', he he's like 'iz cool, keep it real' and gives me a *fistbump*; and, I walk back in with a katana and *commit ritual Sepukku*, and the examiner is just supposed to go 'Higher Level maths, brah', and everyone is supposed to just carry on?

    My friend told me that if you say "oops" and then drop a fiver in front of the exam supervisor they write a little note on your paper telling the marker to give you an A1.

    If that's true about dying, the 6th year students from each school should have a Hunger Games-type thing in every subject to decide who "takes one for the team" for each exam, then all students will get at least 540 points.

    Oh God, my ideas can be really messed up sometimes...

    NO that is not true <rolls eyes>
    The marker will report any such notes or money to the sec immediately ... Do you really want to get off on the wrong foot with your examiner before they even start marking your paper ?

    Or everyone has to think of ridiculously bizarre ways to do it, and the least creative person has to do the most creative person's idea.
    8/10, The buildup was weak, but the execution was excellent!

    Difficult to tell, exam performance is another important variable.

    Okay, just in case anyone actually believed my last comment, I was obviously joking.

    I heard if someone dies during the exam you have to leave them there until the exam is done :eek:

    So if a person in your exam centre dies do you get to copy their answers? Shame to let their work go to waste.

    So long as they don't die in the first or last half an hour, it's no problem :pac:

    This is the truth, OP

    30 minutes into the exam, the exam hall is officially declared as a free-for-all until the last half an hour. Your class is then free to sacrifice one your friends in return for an A2 :pac:

    For a serious answer, I'm sure the exam will be canceled and everyone will sit the reserve paper for that exam.

    If someone draws a penis on your exam paper, the examiner reserves the right draw on pubic hair before sending it off to the SEC.

    Pubic hair implies a certain age and maturity.

    Just sayin' ;)
