The Worst Part About Exams
The worst part about exams isn't the studying. It isn't the insane amount of cramming hours before your exam, freaking out, wondering just how badly you will fail. It isn't the overconsumption of energy drinks. It isn't stupid people at the library. No, it is the man with the microphone in IWC. As you sit at your tiny desk before your exam, counting down the seconds to your impending doom, the man will look around with an all powerful, all-knowing glare, and proclaim: "MOVE QUICKLY TO YOUR SEATS BITCHES!".

Haha yessss
My least favourite part of exams is walking down that creepy hallway of death to get to IWC 2/3. I always feel like I'm living out that scene in the Pink Floyd movie "The Wall" where the line of children walk into a huge meat grinder

It's really helpful when they tell you which courses are writing in which sections thirty times (even when there's no one coming in anymore), because sometimes I don't catch the first twenty-nine times and am too shy to ask one of the invigilators walking by. I also find it helpful that they explain common sense to me, like that I'll be in trouble if I'm caught cheating or that I'm not allowed to talk once the exam starts.
I wrote one in IWC on the 13th (14th?) and the invigilators were standing by the doors talking to each other really loudly about how windy it was outside.

Also have to love those multiple version exams that are chock-full of errors:
"FOR VERSION 1, QUESTION 2. FOR VERSION 2, QUESTION 15. FOR VERSION 3, QUESTION 4. FOR VERSION 4, QUESTION 3. THE SIZE OF THE POPULATION IS 105, NOT 104. LET ME REPEAT- FOR VERSION 1..."

No, no, the BEST part is people walking by 127834737246 signs saying IWC 2 line up here and IWC 3 line up here yet....YET "hey is this the line for IWC 2". FUUUUUU. You'd think going into write a university exam you can ATLEAST, ATLEAST, read signs. AND most of them aren't first years!!

You're almost two hours into your three hour exam. By now, you're either fully concentrated on writing or panicking as you realize that there's a lot that you don't know. Lost in your own world, you're cruelly dragged back to earth and nearly fall off your seat.
15 minutes remaining for the two hour exams! 15 MINUTES REMAINING!
Don't you hate it when that happens?

"There are ten minutes waiting in the two hour exam. If you are writing the two hour exam, please exit quickly and quietly once you have handed in your exam. For those of you writing the three hour exam, you have 1 hour and 10 minutes remaining"
Three hour exam people: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
