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 SOOO sure you can hear me thinking." Then start talking about what a jerk the instructor is.

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?"

Bring a Game Boy. Play with the volume at max level.

On the answer sheet 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.

Run into the exam room looking about frantically. Breathe a sigh of relief. Go to the instructor, say "They've found me, I have to leave the country" and run off.

Fifteen minutes into the exam, stand up, rip up all the papers into very small pieces, throw them into the air and yell out "Merry Christmas." If you're really daring, ask for another copy of the exam. Say you lost the first one. Repeat this process every fifteen minutes.

Do the exam with crayons, paint, or fluorescent markers.

Come into the exam wearing slippers, a bathrobe, a towel on your head, and nothing else.

Come down with a BAD case of Tourette's Syndrome during the exam. Be as vulgar as possible.

Do the entire exam in another language. If you don't know one, make one up! For math/science exams, try using Roman numerals.

Bring things to throw at the instructor when s/he's not looking. Blame it on the person nearest to you.

As soon as the instructor hands you the exam, eat it!



I’d find more but Family Feud is on.

Lmfao I know it's funny, but I hope nobody is thinking of doing many of these! University will play a prank with an expulsion...just sayin!

If it's scantron, I would fill in all the C bubbles. Apparently C is most commonly the correct answer for multiple choice tests.
lmao this reminds me of a story...

A guy who didn't know shit goes to a test just to try his luck. He fills out the scantron by bubbling C for every question. Trying his luck to get at least quarter of the questions right, he ends up failing the test by getting 0 out of 100. The teacher was not amused by this and writes a big ass note telling him

Dear Michael,

Every year I attempt to boost my students’ final grades by giving them this relatively simple exam consisting of 100 True/False questions from only 3 chapters of material. For the past 20 years that I have taught Intro Communications 101 at this institution I have never once seen someone score below a 65 on this exam. Consequently, your score of a zero is the first in history and ultimately brought the entire class average down a whole 8 points.

There were two possible answer choices: A (True) and B (False). You chose C for all 100 questions in an obvious attempt to get lucky with a least a quarter of the answers. It’s as if you didn’t look at a single question. Unfortunately, this brings your final grade in this class to failing. See you next year!

May God have mercy on your soul.

Morale of the story: B is the right choice lol

-Bring a pillow. Fall asleep (or pretend to) until the last 15 minutes. Wake up, say "oh gee, better get cracking," and scribble furiously. Turn it in a few minutes early.

-Bring cheerleaders/pets for moral support.

-Come to the exam wearing a black cloak. After about 30 minutes, put on a white mask and start yelling "I'm here, the phantom of the opera," until they drag you away.

-Bring a water pistol with you... 'nuff said.

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

-Answer the exam with the "Top Ten Reasons Why Professor (name) Sucks."

This reminds me of Skippy’s List: The 213 things Skippy is no longer allowed to do in the U.S. Army. You could get some good ideas from that...

7. Not allowed to add “In accordance with the prophesy” to the end of answers I give to a question an officer asks me.

39. Not allowed to ask for the day off due to religious purposes, on the basis that the world is going to end, more than once.

68. I may not line my helmet with tin foil to “Block out the space mind control lasers”.

116. Crucifying mice – bad idea.

148. Putting red “Mike and Ike’s” ® into a prescription medicine bottle, and then eating them all in a formation is not funny.

197. I am not allowed to sing “Henry the VIII I am” until verse 68 ever again.

+1 for the idol idea. Might I suggest a goat?
