Writing exams for classes you're not enrolled in
I just want to write a first year math exam for shits with my friend. I'll put down my own student card number and name so I won't be cheating or anything.
Could I possibly get in trouble for this?

Just make sure you aren't taking up someone's spots, since sometimes they barely have enough space for the students that are enrolled in the classes.
As for trouble I have no idea

You have nothing better to do with those few hours XD?
Personally I don't think it's worth the possible risk, let alone the time

Well, you could just sleep or relax...why bother waste your time on something useless
Also, if i remember correctly the invigilators will be passing around at the beginning asking you to sign beside your name, so once they can't find your name, they will most likely ask you to leave...it's just a waste of time..

I wanted to go in for a bio exam, sit somewhere at the front then after like 20mins just
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
and storm out... but maybe that was too much
or just when they check student cards go like "Oh crap I thought this was chem" and leave

Well I think they check the list after but on the other hand they can easily track you down so I am not sure how that will go
If people want to have fun writing other people's exams instead of watching tv as a break, I don't judge :b

I'm pretty sure you would get in trouble for that.
For one, you're in the exam room when you're not supposed to be. That's suspicious on its own, and they could easily assume you're there to help someone cheat.
Second, consider this scenario: next year I am planning on taking course X. I want to get a feel for what the exam is like, so I go and write it this year just for fun, to see what I'm getting myself into. From this I can decide whether or not to take the course and if I do take the course, I'll have an advantage...exams don't tend to change much each year because they're never given to students, but it does depend on the prof as well.
So yeah...find something better to do with your time.

Is it really worth the risk? As starfish stated, this could really look bad if the wrong person caught you.
