30 of the Craziest Things Students Saw While Taking An Exam

Taking tests is always stressful. Even more so when you’re a high-school student and it’s been pounded into your skull like a steel rod that this exam could decide your future. Which means it’s not particularly surprising that a tough test can cause a bona fide mental break here and there.

Redditors shared some of the craziest things they’ve ever seen while putting pencil to Scantron paper, and the stories run the full gamut of panic and despair, all set amongst a collection of the world’s least comfortable chairs. No matter how bad of a test-taker you might be, you still probably kept it together better than these people.

 . 5y ago Final exam in quantum physics class. About half an hour into the exam, this guy gets up walks to the front of the class. Slams his test paper on the professor's desk. Lifts his leg, rips a massive fart, says I don't know a fucking thing and walks out.
khendron . 5y ago Edited 5y ago 4th year mechanical engineering exam for our Vibrations and Machinery course. It was completely open book, and we were allowed to bring just about anything into the exam with us. One guy brought in a bicycle wheel, so he could perform toque and moment of inertia experiments at his desk while writing the exam. Edit: torque, not toque.
CircusSloth3 . 5y ago Some idiot took an actual nap during our chemistry final. Just got to the second page, shook her head, and passed out. It was me. I was the idiot.
EcuadorTheWorker . 5y ago A kid shout the f bomb after realizing they didn't understand the directions and have to start all over
OverlyAdorable . 5y ago I remember one exam in school, quite early on I let out a huge fart. A few minutes later, someone else farted. Probably about half an hour in, someone dropped their pen, went to pick it up and unplugged the headphones of the person sitting next to him and we just heard really loud metal screaming coming from that direction
Sirventsalot 5y ago One semester students were protesting tuition increases. They wanted the entire student body to strike and stop going to class as a show of solidarity. A narrative formed that if you continued to attend class, you were part of the problem. They'd do things like try to block students from entering classrooms or throw water on people in the library. During one of our exams, a protestor ran into the classroom and started trying to steal exam booklets from students. I remember watching this guy engage in tug of war with a protestor over his exam before
johann_187 5y ago It happened in 8th Grade. We wrote a big exam in history. So during the exam I notice that a girl from my class was looking at the ceiling all the time. First I didnt think much of it, but after like 5 minutes I decide to Look up and guess what... This girl had ripped 5 pages out of our history books and taped them to the ceiling. The teacher didnt notice it, but she still failed the exam with nearly 0 points, because the pages she ripped out of the book were the wrong pages.
TheWingManHero 5y ago On my Spanish 2 Final in high school there was an essay part of the test. The teacher was just lazy/couldn't be bothered, so she just gave us instructions that read every correctly used word will add a point to your score. Only myself and a girl figured out how easy it was to take advantage of that. I'm not sure what the other girl wrote, but in my essay I was asked to describe my room in detail. I just talked about how I had a rug that was yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, red, white,
finish-your-dessert 5y ago In high school, during the SAT exam, the proctor made it clear that phones are not allowed to be out OR make any noise during the exam. As many of you may know, standardized tests such as the SAT are LONGGGG. So, after hours of testing, during the last section of the exam, a girl's phone started ringing in the back of the room. She rushed to go turn it off, but even after she did, the proctor told her to leave. She started crying and hurried out of the room. I watched the proctor take her
c00chieman666 . 5y ago someone in my class asked for washroom and he lit some fireworks there .every teacher including our invigilator left to see whats happening and and everyone started cheating .the invigilator came after half hour..... everyone got a A Imao
y-2ktodd 5y ago I took the Canadian basic drone operations test and nearly passed. I was one answer away from getting it, but there was this one ridiculous question that had nothing to do with basic drone flying. The question was, What do you do if you lose contact with Air Traffic Control while flying in class С airspace? I just wanted to fly my DJI Spark, not a Boeing 737.
 5y ago Edited 5y ago A guy staring at his crotch. I was the sub for the class and they were taking a test and this one kid kept staring down at his crotch. I passed a few times and he didn't have his phone, paper, anything like that. I didn't know he was cheating until I heard in the hallway that he had answers written on the inside of his belt!!! Also in high school, a guy totally destroyed his pants. Shit all over the place. It was like thick brown water. They had to evacuate the class
RobbielDK 5y ago Not me but my friend, during a entrance exam for our high school, a kid that sat beside him was so stressed out that he/she started puking everywhere, it happened just minutes before the exam so the teachers and cleaners just quickly cleaned it up, the person who puked everywhere was sent to a different classroom to take the exam. I can't imagine how bad the smell was.
X -Indigo -X . 5y ago This was in Second grade, We were haveing our math exam, and out of nowhere a dog walked into our classroom. It was noones dog, it just came out of nowhere. Coupple of girls and one boy fainted on the spot. SO, yea.
cactusshawty . 5y ago A kid at my high school ripped his test into tiny pieces and ate it
germssspls . 5y ago During a math test a kid was giving his test death threats.... one of them was I will shred you like pork.
DoctorNerdly 5y ago When I was in law school a fellow student fainted like right when we looked at the exam. The exam wasn't all that bad and she wound up being one of the best in the class, but she was overwhelmed and was neglecting the flu. When I took the bar exam, the first day was the written portion. The guy at the desk behind me had his laptop explode as the test began. I'm not even being very hyperbolic, there was a loud lop, some sparks, and the whole area smelled of burnt plastic. I think I
littlebubulle ® 5y ago I finished an exam early. I gave the exam to the teacher. The teacher looks over my exam while I pack my things. The teacher stops me as I walk out and points out mistakes I made. I expect the teacher to tell me I should be more careful next time. The teacher actually hand me back my exam and tells me to sit back down and redo the questions.
ItsShoesHere . 5y ago Our grade 10 math exam gave is a step by step instruction sheet of building an office chair. The first question was: how many wheels does this chair have?
heavymetalgirl_ 5y ago Freshman year. Last page of test booklet is for Master's students only. My classmate answered all of them. Got up, asked my professor to check it and told her to fail him if his answers are wrong. Professor checked it, perfect score. Before my classmate left, he told everyone in class, This is what happens when you don't do coke. I'm 100% sure he's on it.
 . 5y ago The kid who sat behind me started clipping his nails as soon as he finished the test
emily-mendoza . 5y ago this kid just like fucking rage quit and like i mean he stood up, picked up his chair slammed it back down and just ripped the test up and said HOW AM I SUPOSED TO KNOW THIS STUFF i i dont pay attention!!!!!!
heisdeadjim_au 5y ago High school algebra. Big test. Teacher was nice and we had a revision day the day before. Test was taken in the same room as revision and the teacher forgot to wipe the board. So a lot of the formulae and notes we needed were literally on the wall in front of us. But behind the teacher as he was facing us. Did the take one exam paper pass it on for the class. Thirty five kids have noticed the board and thirty five kids said nothing. Come end of test he is walking down the aisle
orion6025 5y ago Maybe not that crazy, but a little ridiculous- We were taking a final exam for an art appreciation class in a classroom laid out kind of like a lecture hall, with four very long desks and a bunch of seats all in a row spaced fairly close together. To prevent cheating, the proctor (who is normally a sub teacher) was given A and В form exams to distribute. Anyone who's taken different form exams knows that they're supposed to be distributed A В A В etc going down the row, except this proctor didn't know that.... Everyone
Freeiheit . 5y ago A chick with epilepsy had a seizure during the bar exam. That really sucked
Zaubertroll . 5y ago A classmate finished his exam early, packed up his pens etc., then took a whole loaf of bread out of his backpack and took a large bite.
rosie4568 5y ago | was taking the act as a sophomore so it wasn't at my school but | was taking it with a friend and there was a guy from school a row back and halfway through he pissed his pants. Still don't know how or why but me and the friend vowed to never talk about it so not to embarrass him. I actually had a crush on him at the time lol
Arvoid 5y ago Once in highschool there was a guy who didn't turn in his phone before the start of the test. Midway through the test the phone rang, he grabbed his phone from his pocket and started calling for a full minute, while waving the teacher away. Absolute madlad lol.
ItsChlowey . 5y ago The teacher fell asleep. Не has narcolepsy so we knew this could happen. It was pretty funny, we did not know how long he would be asleep so no idea if we had time to cheat or not. Не woke up after like two or three minutes. Не fell asleep on a bench while we were visiting the Neue National Gallery in Berlin as well
YOUR ASS OR A HOLE 3mta3jvq 5y ago IN THE GROUN 20 years ago I took the CMA exam at a Sylvan center. Next to me a lady was taking a test and she started sobbing. Loudly. The proctor came over to speak with her and calmed her down. A few minutes later she started sobbing again and the proctor removed her after other people in the room complained. No idea why she got upset. IIRC you can retake any exam at Sylvan within a month or two. I passed my exam :)
