For all those doing exams: top tips!
 
Write the answers:

* on the insides of your eyelids.
* on the invigilator's forehead while he's asleep.
* on a piece of paper, and hide it in your tummy button.
* on your shirt in Latin, and tell everyone it says 'I love exams'.
* with Alphabetti Spaghetti the night before, then fart the answers in morse code during the exam.
* on the back of your mineral water bottle's label.

Alternatively:

* Train your headlice to sing the answers to you.
* Get one of those receivers like in MGS that vibrate the bones of your inner ear, so only you can hear the answers being transmitted.
* Create a diversion by bringing along a purple elephant, then run to the NEAB/AQA/EDExcel headquarters and look up all the answers.
* Set up a coded sneezing system with everyone else.

Oh, and did anyone else hear about the invigilator who looked up lesbian porn on his laptop, without realising that it was connected to the projector and was playing on the overhead screen as a Powerpoint presentation? Eek!
Imagine the expressions on the kids' faces when they looked up and saw that! And the guy's face when he realised what he'd done!

And here's something else to do: if you finish early and have checked your work to your satisfaction, try asking for more paper and see how much you can actually get.

Heh! Now that would be something to 'do' if I finished early!

I set up a coded coughing system once...it was rather intriguing and real funni...what? It was!!...Honest!!

Also, instead of asking for paper i write ickle notes for the invigulators and peeps. Just so they can enjoy marking the exam.

1821 - Queen Caroline Affair; Congress of Laibach.

1836 - Registry of Births, Marriages and Deaths; Marriage Act; Tithe Commutation Act; Limited Liabilities Act.

Oh, sorry, just doing a bit of old-fashioned revision... Got both my History exams tomorrow, and History is the only one of my four subjects that I'm not expecting to walk without any effort... :(

Majic 05-28-2002 08:43 PM

Aha, I have my last exams tommarrow and the day after. The systems might not work, and I might not get hold of an elephant in time, I don't know latin, but hey, somehitng might work;)

I'll be sure you use this intriguing technique in my Latin exam.

:

Write the answers on the invigilator's forehead while he's asleep.
I'd rather grafitti a Harry Potter scar using a red board marker. Trouble is, Mr Plater got upset when Beaky did that to me. Strange.

But my favourite method of supplying useful tidbits (i.e. answers) has to be telling a half-asleep supply teacher that she needs to write our spellings for the Headmaster's English Test on the board. You'd be surprised how well a class can stiffle their snickering when they really want to.

EDIT: Wow, I screwed up. I've altered my first paragraph in this topic (excluding the quote), so if you were confused first time round, you might catch on now.

Wow, with these tips, who needs to study!!! *thumbs up*:D

I've only got two more exams left to go - one Biology, and one Physics. Since both the other Biology exams and both the other Physics exams were pitifully easy, I don't think they'll be any trouble...

The only exams that I've had any trouble with so far have been Pure Maths (even though normally I find that easy) and History (which I always find hard)...

I'm glad my examination days are over. I've always thought one-off exams were an unsatisfactory method of examining a student's capabilities. Last year, my Biology exam covered only about 10% of the entire syllabus, leaving little distinction between the marks of those who knew what they were talking about and those who didn't.

I think the final grade should be based on a number of seperate assessments done all throughout the year.

That's kind of how the new Victoria system (VCE) works now. 50% class assessed work, and the remainder exam based.

Wow, I took biology in tenth grade! But there's also Ap biology which I'm taking but you don't have to take it. It's for college credit.

Anyways, we take our regents in two weeks and I'm graduating on the 22!!

Oh and Sydney, what college are you in? I'm going to MCC, and then maybe Brockport and then University of Rochester (Medical School) I love my college schedule for next year because I don't have to go to most of my classes until 2:00!:):)

Yeah, Tuesdays are the freatest because I don't go to class until 2:00. I'm taking Precalculus, chemisty, biology, physics liberal arts and I get to choose another biology class. I have to by next wednesday.

Your plate is going to be full. :)

I do Bachelor of Design, which includes the subjects Design Issues, Illustration, Photomedia, Graphics and Design Principles. I'm not sure how your course works, is it one basic course you're doing? Or are they all independent, making you choose them seperately?

My program of study is LA18 Liberal Arts & Science and Biology (chemisty, physics and biology)

DIvision of Science, health and business

Degree: Associate in Science

So my courses chemisty, biology, physics, math and Humanities (English). Liberal Arts is just science courses. Math and humanities are seperate which I have every other day.

I really don't have to take physics. I could just take that next year and just take math, humanities, biology and chemisty. In the morning I have math and biology and the afternoon chemisty and humanities. You can take all three sciences or just two or one and whatever. I'm doing the 2+2 program at MCC which means to go to MCC for two years and have your transcript transferred to a University.

There's liberal Arts in Science, business, art and others. I can't remember them all.:D. My schedule's cooky but I like it because I have time to go to the mall!:D
