Exam Time Wasting

[C95J]

break up little pieces of rubber and discretely throw/flick them at other people.
look at the humorous table graffiti that previous people have left.
make a popping noise with my mouth, confusing teachers and people around me.

yeah... good times...

Sit there and in your mind try and answer the questions as bizzarly as possible

During my entrance exams I had this piece of paper for scribbling and I started writing down quotes from Portal. At the end of exam the lady there said I wasn't allowed to leave with any stuff from the class, so she took my paper. I really wonder what she thought of me as she read stuff like 'Remember when we pretended to murder you? That was great'.

At the end of my Philosophy exam, I drew a picture of a philosoraptor reading "the allosaurus shrugged" (not a very good pun or book)

Haha, that's pretty giggle-worthy.

I just leave.

well that sums it up nicely...
realy, why would you stay and waste time if you can go home or something?

Some places don't allow you to leave if say, there's only half an hour left on the clock. Others don't allow you to leave at all.

I know those. damn that's frustrating.

Does having sexual fantasies about nearby females cut the mustard?

A proper waste of time. if there where any females under 30 nearby -_-

Ah yes, I did that once too. One of the questions in my exam was to describe the three levels of political structure in Australia. I answered:

1)Old men running damage control.
2)Older men running their mouths off.
3)Oldest men running away with all the money.

Actually, that's probably quite accurate.

I just leave.

Exactly. Why don't more people just do this? My professors all give 1.5 hours to take the exam and if we finish early, we hand it in and leave.

So that's what I do. I leave and usually spend my time in the computer lab on the Escapist.

Usually I just look around the room or draw on the desk.

In my year 6 Science SATs though I ended up walking around looking at random books because our group of about 4 - 5 took it in the library. I got 100% on that too.

I do think it get's ridiculous in secondary school though, a couple of the GCSEs I sat had 2 hours 45 minutes allocated to them... I mean honestly, most people finished in under an hour and spent the next 2 seeing who could do the most outrageous thing without the examiners noticing.

Not all schools allow you to do that. Some stop you if theres like, half an hour left. Some don't allow you to leave at all. We're not all as fortunate. =(

Noone stopped you? 0_0

Nope, that little group of about 5 of us were the ones that were trusted to just do what we wanted, within reason. If I needed to leave a classroom I'd just wander off without a word.

After the exams my teacher even took me and her daughter out bowling as a sort of after exam treat, since she knew I bowled competitively. She also got me into the top tier of English classes in secondary, even though I didn't officially do well enough in the English SATs.

I owe her alot.

I just get up and leave... like yesterday for my chemistry of the main group elements exam. 3 hour exam and I was done in 45 mins. I stood up, handed in my exam, and got the hell out of there. Why would you sit in an exam room for more time than needed?

She sounds awesome... why can't I get a nice teacher?! Most of mine are evil, and my last one kept making racist comments in an international school >_>
