Harry’s Guide to Surviving an Exam!

in college



examination guide stress buster Exam time is hard time. It’s not easy. Not easy at all! I mean surviving until it’s half time is like really a pain in the ass. You look down. You don’t know a thing. You look around and everyone is busy scribbling something alien to you. Something they promised they didn’t prepare, just before the exam. Anyways I really understand how hard it is to survive during an exam so I’m just going to pass on some nice tips to you. Follow these at your own risk, I’m not responsible if you put as ass into trouble.

++ Arrive 15 minutes late for the exam. Since you are not going to write much in the exam you might as well kill 10-15 minutes by arriving late for the exam. Make sure you don’t arrive very late! Arriving late will need excuses so just be ready. Your car tyre could have got punctured, you missed the morning bus/train/cab etc., the aliens kidnapped you last night and did some really disgusting experiments with your pancreas.

++ Look out of the window if you’re been lucky enough to be awarded with a window seat. Wait for a pin drop silence in the class room. Start shouting ‘UFO UFO’! Tell everyone you saw a UFO outside. Hand over the paper to the invigilator and leave saying, ‘They are here finally. You’re all gonna be French fries now suckers!!!’.

++ Pass random love notes. Scribble something on a piece of paper and pass it on. Tell others to keep passing it on. See where it finally arrives. You could write all sorts of mushy or mean stuff or simply your discontent in the education system. Spice them up with nasty diagrams, illustrations, flowers (if you’re a girl).

++ Remember there is a hidden talent in each one of us. Let it out. Cook up some stories, articles, poems, songs or anything creative and write it down on the answer sheet. At least the chick next door would think that you know something! But whatever you write, write as if you’re writing an answer. So if the person marking your paper is dead drunk, you at least get some benefit out of it!

++ Smuggle a portable gaming console. This works best if you’ve managed to get the last seat. Relax and chill while playing your favorite games. You might just end up asking for some extra time from the examiner!

    here are a few more additions!!

    ++Get a copy of the exam, run out screaming “Nikku, Nikku, I’ve got the secret documents!

    ++Talk the entire way through the exam. Read questions aloud, debate your answers with yourself out loud. If asked to stop, yell out, “I’m so sure you can hear me thinking.“ Then start talking about what a jerk the instructor is.

    ++Bring cheerleaders

    ++Walk in, get the exam, sit down. About five minutes into it, loudly say to the instructor, “I don’t understand ANY of this. I’ve been to every lecture all semester long! What’s the deal? And who the hell are you? Where’s the regular guy?”

    ++On the answer sheet (book, whatever) find a new, interesting way to refuse to answer every question. For example: “I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it conflicts with my religious beliefs.” Be creative.

    ++Show up completely drunk. (Completely drunk means at some point during the exam, you should start crying for mommy).

    ++Try to get people in the room to do the wave.

    ++Bring some large, cumbersome, ugly idol. Put it right next to you. Pray to it often.
    Consider a small sacrifice.

    ++Bring a musical instrument with you, play various tunes. If you are asked to stop, say “it helps me think.” Bring a copy of the Undergraduate Code of Student Conduct with you, challenging the instructor to find the section on musical instruments during finals. Don’t forget to use the phrase “Told you so.”

    Lolz , nice one ,mate ! might i take this opportunity to add one more, for the general good of all mankind stuck in examintaion halls !

    ++ If u find yourself staring at the question paper open mouthed , as if they gave u the Swahili version , get into what i like to call the "Jehadi" mode .... pretend asking the guy/gal/nerd-ass sittin next to you any dumb question ,enticing him to answer, making sure the invigilator is not watching . As soon as the guy/gal/nerd-ass starts babbling out the solution , do something that makes sure the invigilator doesn't miss u this tym(drop ur pen,Fart,or say aloud : Zor se Bol [:P]) ....N thats called the TAKEDOWN ! If the invigilator's not a blood relative of the guy/gal/nerd-ass , he's bound to shun both of u out of the hall ...Sweet Victory [:D] !! & U lived another day to save another soul from being vanquished giving those useless crappy exams ...Cheers
