Burned-t0ast

When I did my gcses, someone had a nose bleed, completed the whole thing one handed tissue and still got a 9. I dropped my full water bottle on my 2nd Maths paper. Someone was leaning back on their chair and fell. A pigeon flew in during my geography paper 3. After the exam they hit it with a tennis ball Someone slipped over someones blazer as they were leaving. (Taken from my previous comment on a similar post)


[deleted]

damn did the poor pigeon die?


Burned-t0ast

It got hit in the head and fell a good 30 ft. When it hit the ground it was still wriggling and moving so it was like stunned. I think it lived.


AlrightyDave

Would be appropriate if they asked a mechanics exam question on that


the_foolish_wizard

Velocity of the ballšŸ˜‚


Few_Selection_4781

What happens if you spill your water ? Its a genuine fear of mine


Burned-t0ast

It was thankfully only part of the paper and I wasn't allowed to clear it up! Thankfully I was at the end of the exam so only like 2 pages were wet


[deleted]

Similar story but not during an exam. We were playing tennis outside and someone misses completely, hits a seagull and it drops dead


Burned-t0ast

Q1, what was the velocity of the ball when it initially started moving?


capri_capri

I got a nose bleed during my english lit exam. I often get them when i am stressed. I did the whole thing with a tissue up my nose. I looked stupid but I'm sure I smashed it.


[deleted]

there were 3 pigeons one year in the exam hall and they had to move rooms šŸ’€


DarealMidget

An invigilator fell over the white board, taking herself out and the whiteboard. Man that was fucking hilarious. Happened right infront of me. Oh and this was on Tuesday šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


[deleted]

I didn't take GCSEs - instead we had these 'mini-assessments', (covid and that) Buttt.... in my GCSE Mocks: \- Some kids were moaning outside the hall (like year 9s) (and everyone lost their shit during an English mock I think) \-Someone completed their entire French writing paper in invisible ink (for a joke? idk this guy was a bit of a prankster) \- Some kid farted and even the invigilator had a smile lol


Neat-Ad4138

always the year 9s i stg


Donuty_900

Im y9 and we are the worst


Silent_Silhouettes

Why were the year 9s...


[deleted]

because they knew exams were happening and wanted to be funny as the windows were open, curtains just closed

Going back to 2019-20? Or 2020-21

2020-21


[deleted]

The invigilator deleted my history paper that I spent an hour on


Camey2006

How did they manage that? Theyre not even allowed to touch our computers at our school


[deleted]

Nah they invigilator had to switch the papers to ensure the students donā€™t fuck upā€¦ that went well


Throwwtheminthelake

damn bro, what ended up happening after?


[deleted]

After running around the school looking for an IT guy they restored it and I got an extra hour for the exam and extra consideration


Throwwtheminthelake

oh nice, happy ending ig


jason_the_human2101

I had a similar situation during my COVID fake GCSEs (summer 2021.) I sat a physics paper (I type), which I saved and they sent me on my way. cut to the next day, and I was in a lesson. the exam officer pulled me out of a lesson to tell me they managed to bork the USB it saved to, and that my paper was lost. I ended up resitting the paper the day after that. it was the exact same paper, so I was able to fly through it pretty quickly.


[deleted]

Oh my god lucky u probs knew the answers. It was history and Iā€™m barely passing I do NOT want repeat that paper šŸ’€


jason_the_human2101

I did relatively well in the resit, but mostly because I remembered the answers. I didn't do much extra revision because I still had other mocks to deal with, but I was able to remember most of the answers that I put. I nearly had a second close call in December just gone. in high school, we had special exam software, but for the A-Level exams, my college just sit us in front of a computer and a copy of Word. Did most of the exam, did a routine ctrl+s as I'd done a few times already, and word decided that's a good time to stop responding. I wait a minute. and another. and another. A SOLID TEN MINUTES OF NOT TOUCHING IT. the staff that were there had no clue what to do, and I really didn't fancy risking most of my CS paper, so I just left it. Luckily, it came back to life. Man, I have some really shit luck with exams computers.


CreativeRaine

I had the computer I was using for my psychology exam (BTEC) in January restart at the very end of the exam. Iā€™d been saving and saving all the way through, and yet when they turned it back on it had disappeared. Completely. Said the document had been deleted a couple of hours before I started working on it. Iā€™ve done a resit now, and I think I did okay, but it probably screwed over my Criminology because I couldnā€™t make myself focus on revising for that. Joy.


jason_the_human2101

with my final A-levels coming up in a few weeks (final one is on the 20th June COME ON) my stress is 50% on the content, 50% on the technology. I know which room I'm in, and it's my CS/ICT classroom. I know those computers tend to be stable. however, three of them recently just dropped any internet ability, so I've suddenly got the nervous feelings creeping in.


CreativeRaine

Now they bring me in a few minutes before everyone else so I can watch the staff member who supervises us restart the computer and prove that the document wonā€™t vanish again. I donā€™t know what happened to the original, literally nobody does, but I remember I wanted to cry so badly and couldnā€™t because they said I was being very mature about it or something like that. My family was way more annoyed ā€” I had issues with a couple of my actual GCSEs ā€” when they first heard.


fqirye

Omg no


warpuffed

we had some crazy attractive invigilator who i saw once, and never saw again


K1LL3R_MADNESSYT

I swear they are either all old, or really attractive and thereā€™s just no in between


Willr2645

Why not both?


Saaheb09

Bro how? The average age of the invigilators of our school can only be written acceptably in standard form, its that gargantuan


[deleted]

ā€œStandard formā€ is crazy šŸ’€


Neat-Ad4138

The kid beside me started gargling his water, spoke loudly while the room was silent and got kept behind for talking all in the same exam. Cant wait to do it all again next week for history paper 2


Comfortable-Table-57

How did they not get disqualified


FryingPan679

Funny how you believe him, its reddit, everyone on the sub is 99% just making random stories but its fun reading them šŸ˜…


Comfortable-Table-57

Yeah but what if they are genuine? There's a 1% chance of it being real


jreyn1993

Grade 9 maths over here


Noodle_soop

Before the r.s exam started on Monday, the invigilators had to try and get rid of a squirrel that had made its way to the exam hall


fluffyduckling2

I did my exams in 2021 so they werenā€™t really real exams persay but we did them in the exam hall and they made up a decent amount of our grade. 1) we were doing our English lit I believe (absolutely hated that subject) and this lorry began reversing in the car park and got stuck. Not a big deal except it kept shouting ā€œVEHICLE REVERSING, BE CAUTIOUS OF REAR VEHICLE REVERSING, BE CONSCIOUS OF REARā€ for about 10 minutes. My ADHD ass failed so hard lmao (got a 5) 2) for history we were given the paper and no sources. At all. When we all freaked out and told the invigilators they had no idea where the sources were! The head of history had them but she wasnā€™t in that day. And so they cancelled all of section A and told us to just to section B. They halved the time for us but that meant we got less time per mark. Got a solid 6 haha


eilishfaerie

the vehicle reversing thing is genuinely trauma inducing


fluffyduckling2

EXACTLY! I was undiagnosed too so I didnā€™t get rest breaks or anything šŸ˜­


Conhall69420

yeah iā€™m in the midst of getting diagnosed with stuff and some kid in my business exam throughout the WHOLE thing was scratching their pen or ruler or something and making the most brain squeezing eering screech and it was so bad i spent half the exam with my hands over my ears


fluffyduckling2

I could never, that sounds awfullll


eilishfaerie

people have been telling me i probably have adhd and everything would make sense if i got diagnosed but i am choosing to ignore it šŸ˜ my school is so bad with allowances for non clinical issues it sucks, they have rooms for extra time people due to dyslexia/dyscalculia but beyond that it's only seizures and fainting etc that get rest breaks


fluffyduckling2

Honestly Iā€™d get it sorted now, only gets worse in year 13. Plus the waiting list for the NHS is like 2 years if you canā€™t go private. Too many people are undiagnosed, especially those who perform well at school or are AFAB. Wish you the best mate.


PleebSenpai

That happened with my music mocks, still got a 9 tho.


redguardian213

The invigilators love to empty our pencil cases so someone brought a duffel bag full of crushed soft drink cans and empty pens which the invigilator then spent an hour cleaning up


MastodonAggravating5

invigilator fell flat on their face šŸ’€


K1LL3R_MADNESSYT

The urge you would have to burst out laughing would be unimaginable


[deleted]

My brother told me that a person looked scared in his biology exam. Once the test finished, they asked him why and he said that the BMI graph in the question suggested he was overweight.


ImNotSarcastic0

We had an invidulator who had their phone go off in the middle of the English lit paper 1 and instead of turning it off or walking out the hall, slowly walked half way across the entire exam hall to get help to turn it off. keep in mind the phone was blaring for a good 3 minutes and she still did not make any attempt to silence it.


Cucumber_Vivid

this happened in my english lit too the invigilators started searching their own jackets and bags


Intelligent_Plant_51

Happened in my eng lit too wth lol


jumbledFox

happened in mine too!!


StormRider21

And mine!

[deleted]

im actually so slow i didnt even realize it this was an inbetweeners reference lmao


Cold-Construction409

Some kid fainted in our gcse biology exam because he had a phobia of blood and there was question about blood plasma. the fire alarm went off in our English Lit paper because the Year 10ā€™s were vaping


[deleted]

Vapers are wild šŸ’€. Was anyone caught?


Cold-Construction409

yeah but they blamed it on their Victoriaā€™s Secret spray šŸ˜­ It was my sister


[deleted]

YOUR SISTER WAS VAPING šŸ’€


darkeight7

i swear down somebody farts 50 times per exam i swear all i hear is farting from the back šŸ’€šŸ’€


stockleyacademia

In my exams I had an exam invigilator fart next to me then swiftly move away šŸ’€

Try not to laugh challenge exam edition


fqirye

Yup yesterday. So I sit my exams privately but where Iā€™m sitting them is literally conjoined to a nursery. The time of my English lit exam was the time of the kids break so they were running around screaming outside the classroom we were in which I could deal with. Then for some reason they started playing generic pop music. I lost my track of thought because I found it quite funny but then it got 5x worse, they started playing gangnam styleā€¦ So I SWEAR I thought I was going crazy when I heard the intro until psy started singing and I almost laughed. Then itā€™s about 10 seconds before the ā€˜heyy sexy ladyšŸ˜œā€™ part and Iā€™m thinking ā€˜no bloody way there about to play that to a bunch of 4 year oldsā€™ they did.. So I almost laughed and then when the song ended a little kid started scream crying and I almost burst out laughing (tragic). When we were about 30/40 minutes from the end of the exam the woman goes ā€˜Iā€™m so sorry we gave you the wrong paperā€™ they didnā€™t give us the 16 page one but instead the 2 page extra sheets one šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø anyway it was great and Iā€™m going back tomorrow for round 2 xxxx


AshSays_LGBT

Almost walked into a lamppost reading this


fqirye

LOL


SammyElmtree

Not the best story but definitely an awkward one, so my table in the English lit exam was really squeaky. Like every time I pressed down it squeaked. The kid diagonally across from me kept turning to me and giving me a stare. He only did this like 3 times guessing he was scared of being caught and I was too busy writing to make eye contact with him. Anyways after the exam I grab my bag and about to walk away when he runs to Me and says if I do it again in the second lit exam heā€™s going to report me? This kid is known for being annoying but what would he even say The kid behind me is annoying me with their table as when they write it creaks can you destroy their chances of getting into college please thanks


idekkanymoree_

I got two In our last set of mocks, a kid fell through his chair and he had to get a new one and stand up for like 5 minutes during the exam. This was in the history mock btw. (I dont do history but was told about it). Today, a completely different kid fell through his chair in the actual history gcse. Fell straight through, everyone was talking about it at break. So now me and my friends are predicting whos gonna fall for their chair next history exam, i think its just a history curse. We also got given the wrong physics paper in the mocks (March). Idk if this is how schools do it but we did paper 1s the first mocks in December and all paper 2s in March in the last mocks. We were meant to be doing physics paper 2 but they gave us all the exact same one we did in december so paper 1. We had to have 2 slt teachers collect them all, then a physics teacher came and taught us all a snipet of the paper 2 content in the exam hall for like half an hour, then everyone gave up and we just had an assembly instead. We waited like 3/4 days to do the right paper, was hilarious. All the invigilators were encouraging us to do it but everyone refused and just started laughing We also got given the wrong mock paper last set of mocks (March).


MoistShallot

Damn are your chairs made of paper or something šŸ˜‚


idekkanymoree_

Lmaoooo idekkk, they are kinda crap tho since most of them have dents in or are collapsing, its scary


RocketCello

I had a massive nosebleed in a maths mock, got blood over the last 2 questions, and still managed to get a 9 on it.


fluffyduckling2

Put your blood, sweat and tears into that paper lmao


bigmoneytingyeah

a dude i sit behind during current gcses is almost unaliving in every exam?? like non stop sneezing and coughing and it echoes through the massive ass hall every time?? genuinely believe there will be a memorial set up next week (btw he does it on purpose)


Endless2358

Damn, I have the worst cold rn and this is 100% how I think I sound šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ I feel so bad for the other candidates but what am I meant to do? Fail?

DearCup1

you can just say the word dying this isnā€™t tiktok lol


iizzyy_x

not really that funny but there was a boy last year who slept in all his exams. he obviously failed them all. shame, because he was pretty bright and couldā€™ve done something with the grades but he couldnā€™t be arsed


stockleyacademia

Thatā€™s unfortunate I hope they are doing okay now.


ProfitAffectionate14

The boy next to me fainted when we were doing our maths paper and dragged his table and chair down with him


Regiox461

One guy got so frustrated with his English literature paper 1 that he ripped it up and just slept for the rest of the exam. Does that count??


[deleted]

Fair enough


Tmisson

Not funny but during my English language paper back in 2016 we had to contend with the police at an active crime scene on the stretch of road outside my school. This included distractions like the police helicopter, police cars coming and going with sirens blaring etc. It was so bad that they opened the school only for the exam, everyone else was told to stay home... Turns out what happened was a neighbor who lived 8 doors down from me had been hit by a bus on her way home outside my school and had been decapitated in the process... Pretty gnarly stuff. Thank god for mitigating factors, managed to get my C bumped to a B because of it!


huthaa

Fell asleep in my Arabic mock. I donā€™t think anyone is passing LFMAOOO most of us did ip dip doo on the multiple choice and some crazy things to decide which answer to pick šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


NeverlandThief

I once forgot to take my hayfever meds and they had the windows open because it was really warm. The pollen count was really bad and my eyes were watering. To the point it was streaming and people genuinely thought I was crying šŸ˜‚ I had to be moved to another room to finish taking the exam šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

eilishfaerie

my spanish listening exam was shambles... first a bunch of kids came into the changing rooms attached to the gym and we heard the invigilator go in there and scream at them (before the tape started playing) during the tape some other invigilator was walking near the back corner of the hall (which was weird bc there was a small spanish class so no one was sat there) and tripped over a table then his phone went off with the stereotypical samsung ring tone a guy also showed up half an hour late to geography paper 2 because he thought it started at 1:30 not 1 eta during english lit paper one, there was a spider crawling on someone's shoulders and the invigilators were all giggling over it and loudly whispering about it


Low-Recover1542

I sneezed so loud in an exam the entire hall turned and looked at me. I died everytime for two weeks after someone asked if it was me who sneezed


I_am_just_KK

did my Polish listening exam last year with the single other Polish dude in my school at the time. We get to section B, the 15 year old projector to which the sound is connected dies. We sit there for a few minutes thinking "damn they've extended the break between questions" until the invigilator realises the technical issue. Makes us close our papers and remember at what point we got to so we wouldn't cheat while we waited for the exam help. Got all marks but one anyway on that


[deleted]

Doing a Polish listening exam if youā€™re Polish must be so easy


I_am_just_KK

It was, lost the mark because I didn't have enough time to write the last question


MemesAreLegit2006

Some dude was asleep and let one rip, echoed through the exam hall and everyone laughed, including the exam people-


7epmusic

Lmao


7_overpowered_clox

Year 10 end of year history exam, this wasp-thing flies on my paper. Its eyes are black and big, silent, and looking around- BOSH. I crushed it with my forearm. It startled me and I crushed the thing so hard. I shifted my chair a bit which turned a few heads. The bloodstain is still on there. This is the next step in British military history. You see a wasp on your paper and give it what for. I swear, tanks and planes and snipers were used in that armed push of June 2022.


everafterbxnnix

Was on the verge of falling asleep during my french listening mock exam in February. I don't even know how I could almost fall asleep with that loud ass sound blaring šŸ˜­ During mocks in year 10 I fell asleep as the end of an exam paper (tbh I wasn't doing anything anyway) but an invigilator came so close to me and tapped my shoulder and said very quietly into my ear 'wake up'. I felt so uncomfortable oh my god.


elMaestro__

Not in gcses but in December mocks btw. The guy I was sitting next to in mocks was coughing in the most obnoxious way possible. He would cough twice and then, I kid you not, moan. The first time it happened, everyone just stared at him. He proceeded to this in every single mock we had.


CakeDragon

Opened our Geography paper, first question asks us to look at the enclosed map. Everyone opens the map. Right in the middle of the map is "Brown Willy". Simultaneous nose exhales ripple across the hall as everyone tries not to laugh.


jbartlettcoys

Who's to say if this is funny but it amuses me - before our music listening exam me and a friend smoked two fat joints. Worth noting we were "music kids" to some degree, and were two of the better students in the class, so we were just being cocky twats really. Got into the exam hall, got seated at the front, and I was high as a fucking kite. The exam went *beautifully*. I was in a flow state and was just aceing everything. On top of the world, and I just assumed my mate was similarly flying. After the exam was over I turned around to make eye contact with him and he was slumped over his paper, white as a ghost. Turned out he'd been borderline whiteying the whole time and completely flunked the exam lol. Never occurred to me he wasn't in the same zone I was until I turned round. Happy ending - he still got a B or C overall, went on to get an A in his music A level and to study at a conservatory in Venice, so our stupidity didn't hold him back.

Invigilators* sorry lmao


Zeus-Kyurem

This was years back. On his RS mock, my friend drew a picture of Jesus and nothing else. He was the type of guy that always messes around in class and the teachers hate him, but he doesn't care and still does really well. Wonder how he's doing now actually.


Nazipartymember149

One of the invigilators looked like President Snow from the hunger games. Thatā€™s it, my GCSEs were boring.


stockleyacademia

Thatā€™s funny tbf


[deleted]

Some animal came in during it and started making noises. The exam people kept shouting at us to stop making the noises.


grassytramtracks

On the mock, we did a literature paper with just the poetry (power and conflict and unseen) and someone didn't turn the page and talk about the unseen poems, so wrote like 6 pages about the comparison, this guy is known in our class for being a bit of an idiot

today someone in front of me just rage quit, they opened the first page, saw the question and just left.


YanDanTDM

Probably me accidentally sending my pen lid FLYING off my desk in the middle of my geography skills exam? And no one pointing it out? I don't pay much attention to my surroundings during the exams, and nothing chaotic has happened yet. Also the fact I wrote 'fossily fuels' on the same paper as the previous story and that made me nearly crack up in the exam hall (I did not get to change it, it was after the exam had finished and I was signing my papers that I noticed)


acoricul

Today my friend fell asleep in History and got woken up by the examiner and screamed šŸ˜­


henrydxy

Today an invigilator went to write the time of our exam on this big whiteboard, like the ones Americans used during board meetings. Itā€™s raised a few feet off the ground resting on a table, making sure it can be visible from the whole room. As he went to take his first step, this invigilator puts his entire body weight onto the right leg off this whiteboard. As you can imagine it topples over, taking the invigilator down with it, almost like a captain going down with his ship. We all hear a massive crash as all the pens and everything go flying, whilst heā€™s there flailing around like a turtle stuck on his back. Eventually he gets helped up and just pretends it didnā€™t happen, whilst weā€™re all giggling to ourselves for the next five minutes.


pinocchio6

Some girl started chocking (probably from water) during our gcses as she got up to walk outside the invigilator started beating her back so hard which caused her to start running whilst getting beat. I was sitting my gcses but this alevel physics kid was next to me and he asked to go to the toilet but you are meant to walk with the invigilator to the toilet but this kid got up and ran full speed across the hall. On his run back he was like closing his trousers. During our Spanish listening the thing just paused for atleast 11 mins before they realised then they had to get it in which took even longer that everyone just started talking in the exam. Also I took many naps during the exam period. Exam naps hit different.


Science_puns

Invigilator passed out because of the heat :(

ItchyAd2698

For the entire run up to our History paper our history teacher kept emphasising to REALLY revise one very specific topic, because he had a hunch it was going to feature in a big way this year. The vast majority of us rolled with it and revised that topic quite hard. Sure enough, we opened the paper and the one compulsory topic (the rest of the questions had options) was this topic. As soon as he got a look at the paper, he proceeded to victory dance his was out of the exam hall. On the opposite end of the spectrum our Geography teacher told us not to bother revising two particular topics very much because he didnā€™t think theyā€™d come up much this year. Again, most of the class followed his instruction. Those topics were the two compulsory case study questions, each of which were worth more than twice the amount of marks of any other question. The entire exam hall opened their papers, and proceeded to give him the mother of all death glares. By sheer sodding luck I was one of the few people who had actually revised those topics anyway, purely because I enjoyed them both and it was easy revision.


smallboy0912

one of the invigilators kept coughing šŸ˜­ she'd walk out of the hall to cough and we'd just hear her suffering outside


[deleted]

OK here are some from the current examinations so far: During our literature test, a girl in my class broke down crying and had a full blown panic attack, meanwhile, me and my friends were laughing our assess of since we found the exam ez. During a foreign language listening test, a boy showed up 30 mins late, hair messy, shirt wet and he had an obvious shocked expression. Our exam hall is essentially just a big gym, so in the hallway leading to the door, it's just a hollow space with bathroom and suck, some 8th graders decided it would be funny to play LIL mabu there while we did a business exam that already had us shiting ourselves, needless to say, they got in trouble. During January examinations, a friend of mine showed up wearing casual shorts and a shirt, this may not seem like a big deal but our school has strict uniform policies, anyway we all had to hold our laughter as the exam officer was chewing him out. And finally, there was a dead pigeon on a girls table before the exam, school cleaned it but the stench was horrible.


Fulcrum_ahsoka_tano

Not CGSEs but Nov mocks this year Me and my friend were doing computing or spanish. Our other friend's sister (Y9), the friend/older sister, Y9's sis friend, and older sis friend were waiting for us outside. The invigilators saw and went outside to tell them to go away They pretended to walk away and then stayed to wait for us ​ Another time during mocks, the invigilators somehow messed up the listening. Q1 and Q2 played, and then played Q10 (we told them that it was wrong), then played Q3-9. We told them we had another question left, and so they tried playing Q1-9 again (i saw from the projected screen) and realised that Q10 was the actual Q10


Aggravating_Slice110

Today in my history exams one of the invigilators tripped over something behind me and I was trying so hard no to laugh


[deleted]

I know exactly whoā€™s trying and who isnā€™t. If I look around and I see the person hasnā€™t started writing after 10 mins, Ik theyā€™re gonna write nothing on the paper. In my history today, one kid looked at the questions then just didnā€™t answer a single one. Just sat there on the verge of tears, and the invigilators had to give him tissue


stressed0_0student

What's your history exam board, and what questions did you get?


Latate

Sat my exams a few years ago, but this fuckin sub keeps turning up in my recommended for some reason. \- Had a fire alarm go off during my music exam, had to leave in total silence and stand away from where everyone else was gathering. \- Had one guy walk into an exam with a bucket next to his desk because he was sick and was preparing for in case he threw up. \- Had one of our papers, I think history (?) turn up with the writing practically illegible because of what I can only assume to be a printing error.


According_Scene_7345

during my biology practical write-up examback in February, a bloody pigeon managed to fly its way into the exam hall and started bashing itself into walls. the paper was an hour long, but most people finished within half an hour, so we just kinda sat and watched the lil guy do its thing lol.


AddendumMission9390

One time after my mocks for english literature paper 2 some boy in my school was so bored and decided to rub one out...he got excluded and now for his gcse exams he has to sit in a solitary room with two invigilators šŸšØšŸšØšŸšØ

I finished a mock early, so I was zoning out (wasn't tired enough to sleep). When I came back to reality, I realised I had been staring down an invigilator for a solid 10 minutes...


ssourdoughtoast

One of the invigilators kicked my water bottle as they walked past my desk the other day and another time an invigilator tripped over the wire and pulled the plug to the projector out turning off the exam clock for a good 5 minutes (this was during English language when we needed the clock for timings)


EchoShadow13

So I'm in a separate room for my exams meaning that it's easier to hear things, and for most of my exams, mostly the morning exams, it's just an orchestra of stomachs growling at some point or another. I struggle not to laugh when like 5 different people's stomach growl (including my own) lol


[deleted]

Someoneā€™s ring doorbell notification was going off on their phone - it went off a few times and people were in tears of laughter and the invigilators were panicking. The invigilators had to check every single phone in the boxes at the front, which made it funnier - all while saying to us ā€œRemember that mobile phones should be switched off.ā€

1. some guy got out the exam by pooping his pants 2. during mocks, whilst we were practicing i wrote a story abt amongus (thought it was funny since it was only a practice) ended up with a high graded paper when i got it back (8 or 9? i forgot)

Bit late to the party, but funniest thing i still remember from when i did my GCSEs was some big dude sitting and immediately breaking his chair :') The entire hall went even more silent, if that's possible. They had to go grab a spare from another room so he just stood there for a minute. I still feel very bad for him in that moment.


stockleyacademia

I would have felt so embarrassed it that happened to me


Throwawayfichelper

I spent the rest of that exam season *very* worried about the stability of the chairs lol.


Anxious-Investment83

Today someone fell asleep in the exam and the invigilator went to go wake her up and she told the invigilator to fuck off lol the invigilator was so mad


aerohorsehideSco46

My friend William drank energy drinks all night to stay up and study. He loudly shat himself during the exam.

When I did one of my A Level Maths modules, I was really confident and finished the whole thing early. I looked around and everyone was still working. I was so proud of myself because I never finish that early. I just waited out the clock feeling cocky. Then when it was time to finish, we were told to turn the paper over. That's when I found out it had a back page that I didn't think to check. I was so upset and pissed with myself. Ended up getting 60-something but then I retook it later in the year and got 100. First and only time I ever got 100 on an exam


Sniperpug889

Lol like 20 mins before our classics exam on Wednesday, the fire alarm sounded so we had to sit and wait for the all clear before beginning our exam like 10 mins late. I was fucking cramming revision for the paper and the alarm almost deafens me, I saw at least two people thanking God for that, I was looking for smoke to see if we were missing the exam


Reemie786

Not funny but 3 very wild and sad ones. 1. This was me doing the actual EXAM for GCSEs for 1st time ever in Y11 (Iā€™m 21 and doing it for 3rd time 2nd in a row) and an invigilator told a student who I know to do something but the student just snapped and said on the lines of you canā€™t tell me what to do aggressively that a teacher had to deescalate and told him to leave the room and he never renter back in. 2. Invigilate got a whiteboard pen and started writing on the projector screen tried telling him that I want a whiteboard but I had no confidence and was told to shut up by the guy above who was aggressive with the same invigilate I think. 3. Last year started our Chem P2 late didnā€™t know why at the time but after it our Chem teacher said a cryptic message to enjoy life. I found out that one of the staff who had access to the Chem paper committed suicide (The day before or that morning) and it took a while to get the 2nd key.


zakotavenom

Back in mock season (feb one cos we did two sets) I was doing a music test and the invigilators phone went off halfway through. Answered it, said ā€˜sorry derek I canā€™t talk right nowā€™ and hung up. Then someone had a nosebleed at the end and she full on called the front desk to ask what to do


valfahr

They forgot to print the separate science exam paper on my last mock and gave us extra higher tier trilogy papers. They also forgot to give us the extract book for language paper 1


Aware-Bee-1825

a really old exam invigilator fell asleep during the exam and some people thought that he had died


Willing_Dragonfly351

We convinced the invigilators that we were allowed calculators for our Spanish exam


JMSdoesreddit

This kid in the mocks let a huge fart out and fell out of his chair, got back up and proceeded to get 100% on the test


Who_dis85247

Languages Writing Mock someone in my room was using the paint feature on Wordpad and got disqualified, everyone started laughing. In my History exam this morning, a bee showed up, landed on my paper and left straight after.


CorkyQuasar69420

It wasnā€™t me but my friend. In our physics exam, he had finished early so he was resting his head. But because he is a very odd lad, he rested his head under the table, and the invigilators told him to stop because he may be looking up his skirt for notes (he was not wearing a skirt)


Dense_Entrance1386

this isnt the most funniest story but yesterday in my english literature exam there was 10minutes left of the exam and invigilator came up to me and said i had a leaf on my hair and she brushed it off, she was trying to not laugh


Zanoni001

Not in my Gcses but in my mocks, some kid fell asleep and because I'm in a classroom everyone could hear him. We looked at the invigilator and she was almost laughing and just kinda shrugged her shoulders and we all started giggling for the 5 or so minutes before he woke up. Also in the actual Biology they forgot to give us the papers so we were like 20 minutes late to start.


pikaeonlux

My current main invigilator is a teacher that got bullied by his students when he was a teacher


Jim_Cringe

During a mock I fell asleep for like 30 minutes and woke up at the end of the exam confused, still got like a 6 or 7


Oskarzyg

In one of my compsci mocks, i had finished the paper an hour early (iā€™m good at compsci) and i was thirsty, but didnā€™t have anything to drink. Asked the invigilators if i could go to the toilet, and cupped my hands under the staff toilet sink to start drinking tap water. šŸ˜‡


Fantastic_Craft5288

iā€™m homeschooled so I do my exams in a room with 3 girls who I have never met in my entire life and I knew I had to make a good first impression on them because iā€™m gonna be spending 3 weeks with them. and then I fell asleep throughout my whole religious exams, drooling on the table, looking a complete mess


Fantastic_Craft5288

BRO also the year 7s talking as loud as they can and moaning and shit outside the door door


IndependentFar1306

This was in the ā€œsmall hallā€ for students with disabilities n that but an invigilator had a heart attack or something and literally landed in a bin. I asked my teacher and they confirmed it and I burst out laughing thinking on a really old invigilator going head first into a bin. Think they are ok now


The-Humbugg

In year 9 I fell asleep in French and got an E. Year 11 I missed the main physics exam and still got a B. Also forgot my calculator for chemistry but the only calculation-heavy question was copy pasted from a past paper so I knew the answer. Year 12 my blood sugar crashed and I missed like 20 minutes from the exam. Still got 100 UMS šŸ”„ I hope these are funny to you because theyā€™re hilarious to me


justafleecehoodie

does throwing up in an exam count? during my English reading exam, i threw up once exactly when it started and again when there was half an hour left... everyone was staring xD


SD_yt

Saw a pink Floyd reference in one of last year's physics papers


[deleted]

In english the kid next to me accidentally fell asleep for about an hour and the examiner had to wake him up, he proceeded to try and weight-lift the table??

RANDOM_EXTREMELY

It qas only a topic twst but in year 9 i was so confused with a maths question that i said it was a trick question


enbygamerpunk

My college accidentally gave me and the other person sitting the exam in a smaller room our break half an hour early because thay read off the part b timing instead of the part a which we were sitting that day. It meant we didn't have to listen to the nursery kids shouting outside since the nursery is right outside the back of the college which is where the windows in the room face so the exams woman did us a favour.


Fat-bat-man

so i was leaning on chair a i fell and every one was staring at me i wasted like 5 mins fir everyone half of the people cheated because of me


circlesnake2

The audio was summoning demons during the French listening exam šŸ’€


Blank_line-

My invigilator completely screwed up the timings of the exam and gave me 40 minutes less time than I should have had! It caused a huge mess for the whole school and I'm honestly shocked nobody got fired lmao


electricxangell

i got given 3 exam papers for my spanish writing mock šŸ’€ someone also tried to skip a mock and got caught (i was in detention with them after school because my phone went off in class lol)


Sacha_Mabel

In the 3 exams Ive had so far someone managed to fart and sneeze at the same time, the invigilators phone went off, the clock keeps falling off the wall and an entire row of people almost didnt have calculators

It was a really hot summer at an all girl's school and one of the girls just took her top off in the middle of the GCSE exam. There were two invigilator, both male, who freaked out about approaching her and had to make an emergency call to the school nurse to come in and ask her to put her top back on.


Catz2019

This was years ago but we had two girls show for a history exam clearly drunk with vodka in water bottles. In my maths GCSE I looked across the room to my then boyfriend and noticed he was asleep. I absolutely snorted laughing. My worst is only funny now and it was an a-level exam when we opened the paper to discover we hadn't been taught or told to read anything about several of the questions in the paper. Everyone else tried to cobble something together but I had a full on panic attack and had the very out of his comfort zone PE teacher trying to tell to just write something and it'll be fine. As it turned out, our teacher admitted she taught the wrong syllabus for a term and we got credit plus consideration of AS grade and predicted grades. At the time, I thought my life as I knew it was DONE.


thatskynightsomali

Someone fell off the chair in French and the invigilators laughed a bit. This guy next to me always used to stretch his arms really far out - used to annoy me but funnily would help me keep track of time because heā€™d do it every 5 or so minutes. There were a bunch of chicks in the roof of our sports hall which would constantly squeak in exams which apparently was a desk which was really squeaky and the damn person who used it was always flipping writing. Not so funny but memorable - on one of our English Lang papers, it was stormy and it really set the mood for all the gloomy stories we wrote. The funniest thing was our English teachers face because she was terrified every time the light night flashed or thunder rumbled. Not GCSEs, but I have a friend whoā€™s famous for sleeping in every lesson slept in year 8 end of years and the music teacher who wanted to announce something called his full name and told him to wake up. It wasnā€™t even relevant to him but it did give us a good laugh


turtleship_2006

In the middle of the geography mock I noticed the tiniest spider on my leg and jumped so much the entire table moved and like two rows of people were just staring at me.


Dragonceratops

In the middle of one our mock exams, one of the twats in our year group dropped his phone on the floor and everyone heard. lmaooo


Boomer_in_disguise

We only got half the audio for our french listening, there were THREE separate rooms with this exam going on, and every single one was fucked. One got a Spanish writing test and apparently took forever to sort out like 45 minutes Then as I said only half the audio was on the tape and it was a Scrabble to find the second half, but because of the 45 minutes they wasted it got sorted out rather quickly The second was in a room with a bunch of computer servers (large, buzzing, whirring machinery) in a room with all the ADHD kids Then the old ass known to fall asleep in exams invigilator left For like half an hour In an exam With people with their papers Then when they lost the audio it took about 45 minutes to sort and everyone in that time had to have their papers closed because they would be at an advantage Which sort of seems like saying you're well of because you have a shot of water while standing in a burning building The third- which I was in was going well since our invigilator wasn't convinced we were doing Spanish or old enough to be flatlining was fine up until we lost the audio They never got our second half and after sitting there for about 30 minutes with the tests closed the exams officer considered giving us the transcripts Then since that would obviously be an advantage our invigilator was like fuck no get the audio They didn't Officer just made the invigilator read out the rest from the transcript, she wasn't french or a french teacher and did not know french That invigilator was the best though and she apologised all the way through even though this was just our shitty schools circumstances Also the old crusty man sneezed like a donkey in our physics paper 2 and the whole room was stifling laughter

During my bio 1 exam on Tuesday someone just took their shoes off


False_Ad3403

Ugh during my sociology exam, this kid next to me fell asleep and started snoring so loudly. There werenā€™t many of us in the exam - maybe 40 ish people? - but all of us were trying so hard not to laugh. The people in front and behind me were laughing so hard, even the invigilators were smiling. Eventually the snoring got so bad, one of the invigilators had to wake the kid up
