Exam Time Wasting

[SomeLameStuff]

Everyone has encountered this before, yes? You're sitting for an exam, you've finished up, checked it over and over and there's still around 20 minutes on the clock. How do you pass the time?

I wrote the lyrics of THAT SONG on the inside of the cover page, so whomever marked my paper would get rockroll'd upon opening it.

And on another paper, I drew a comic strip of a street fighter match that covered the entire back page.

A friend of mine asked to go to the bathroom... and stayed there playing Monster Hunter on his PSP. The teacher didn't notice for some reason...

So what has the Escapist done to pass time in exams? And don't say "I took a nap" or words to that effect because that's just boring!

Does having sexual fantasies about nearby females cut the mustard?

Like the little nerd I am, I check through my paper.
I have no life...

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)

 

[Valkyira]

Most of the time, I just sit there, close my eyes and think of stuff... I always get tempted to draw something but our school/exam board are really anal when it comes to people drawing on their papers, you'd probably fail just because of that.

I will now break this rule.

I sleep,look around,continue sleep.

I wrote a short story. Was a LONG exam and I finished with plenty of time. So I actually wrote about 2 chapters of a story. Of course I couldn't take it out the exam room.

 

[Sampsa]

Write longer essays thus you won't have so much freetime.

When I did my Maths GCSE, we had an hour and a half to do the exam, and I finished in 20 minutes. I spent the next hour and ten minutes drawing patterns on my hand and arm with my pen.

 

[QuirkyTambourine]

I have three animals I can draw, a Turkey, a Pig, and a Turtle, so I typically start with that.

Then I move on to little existential questions, philosophical ideals that I hold, obscure analogies and clever turns of phrase to pass the time. I'm good at coming up with mini-quotes that I'll often attribute to a fictitious author (Richard Andrew Harland) to see if anybody ever looks him up.

Most of the time I add to the graffiti already on the desk, starting off with my standard drawings. I've been trying to get proficient in drawing M.C. Escher stuff but I can't unless I have a copy in front of me. It's still better then the normal graffiti on the tables. I also like seeing if I've sat at that table before.

 

[Choppaduel]

I just leave.

 

[Tips_of_Fingers]

I almost never have free time at the end of an exam. I'm usually the one desperately scribbling to fit down the rest of my ideas...

When I do finish early it's only with about 10 minutes to spare, in which case I quickly read through the paper, cursing when I think of a better way to say something....

 

[Jasper Jeffs]

Graffiti on the table or exam paper, or look for other people who have also finished and try to have hand gesture conversations with them. One time though, we managed to convince the examiner to give up his responsibilities and just tell us stories for the remainder of the exam, guy had a lot of awesome stories.

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.

Go into bindu suspension.

Nah, just stare, read the exam again, stuff like that. I think during some exams in later years I brought a book or something, and if I didn't I might just do it in the future when I finally gather the guts, courage and motivation to do, and now complete, a college course.

Or this:

Aw hell yes. There was this one chick during my high school exams, I swear she totally justified the face your avatar pulls. HmhmHM!

Sometimes there's a minimum amount of time you have to spend on the exam before you can leave. We had that on high school and during my second college course. I was finished long before that moment with some subjects, geography, English, I think Dutch too and maybe biology and history. Ahhh good ol' high school, what a breeze that was.

That chick wouldn't happen to be the examiner would it?

Sadly, all the hot teachers left after my first high school year. My biology teacher was a fresh graduate, I was already quite tall and she was pretty small, though she was very...gifted in 'that area'. Very entertaining when you walked up to her to ask her something. She left to do a Master's degree or something. Then there was my English teacher who was just an all-round babe and she left because she moved, queue a big "awwwww" from all the males in our class.

But that chick could pull off looking like a teacher, age-wise that is. I think she was around 17 but she could've passed for 20 with ease. Especially in that thin, low-cut, flower-patterned summer dress and those high open heels...oh my oh my. She didn't leave much to our imagination, I bet she wanted to sabotage us.

Women are evil that way huh? Evil and crafty! Burn them!
