I remember in my first year of university, my prof told the class the infamous story about the harvard/yale/stanford (one of these I think) exam that was about 20 pages long, and the instructions at the beginning said

"read through the entire exam before you begin"

On the last page of the exam, it said something like "you don't have to answer any of these questions, just wait an hour and a half and then you can sign your name and leave and get 100%"

The worst part was that our class thought for SURE that this is what he would do for our final... so we were all excited and remembered to read through the exam looking for the sentence telling us not to write the exam... and all there was was a statement in tiny print saying

"sorry, not this time... but thank you for following the instructions and reading through the exam!"


Anyway, now whenever I write an exam I hold out a little hope that it will be one of those exams where the test is to follow the instructions and not write the exam!!

Have any of you had the pleasure of writing one of these types of exams? or get any other crazy/funny/ridiculous exams or exam questions??

Which is a myth. It's one of those stories told by friends of friends of friends but never actually seen.

I had to do something similar in Grade 6. I can't remember if the teacher told us it counted or not.

It told us to read through the entire thing, and at the end said to just write your name and then you are done.

The rest of the questions required you to do random things. At first they were basic, but eventually they became stupid (e.g. 12. put three holes in the page, 13. put your pen through the first and third hole 14. clap three times while the pen is through the holes). Very few people just wrote their name. Most did a few of the questions, then slowly realized that the stuff was stupid and saw the other just sitting there. A few got all the way to ripping holes in their page, clapping, and flipping their desks over (although most of them probably did so on purpose).

At the end the teacher told us to always read through the test.

Ya I guess it could be a myth used by profs to take reading through exams seriously lol. I did however get an exam that said at the end that we only had to choose one of each of the three questions on each page to answer, rather than all of them, and I know a ton of people tried to answer every question and like everyone ran out of time.

I've also heard that story about they guy who wrote "life" on his phil exam and got 100.... university urban legends our profs tell is what I should rename this thread I guess lol

Grade 11 Biology.

True/False section had 15 questions.

First one True, the rest False.

Sooooo much doubt.

A prof gave out an assignment. The assignment was to write a report or essay on what is courage. Every student had a report that was at least 4 pages dissecting the question: what is courage. Then there was this one student who handed in a single page. On the top of that page it said "This is courage."
That student ended up receiving 100%

The majority of my anthro/soc/psych exam was done on a scantron card, and my teacher thought it would be really funny to make every single answer 'c.' There were about 70 questions.
