The 25 best exam blunders......

[alexakasloth]

LOL, especially the last few.

Some of those are funny, but I doubt that they are all real. For instance, I studied English and you would never have gotten a question like:

8) English
Question: In Pride and Prejudice, at what moment does Elizabeth Bennet realise her true feelings for Mr Darcy?
Answer: When she sees him coming out of the lake.

English exams were mostly essays, and questions were never about specific pieces of text as the examiners wouldn't know what each person would have studied (in my school for instance, different classes in the same year had seperate reading lists.) These sorts of things were done as coursework.

I also have my doubts about the General Studies questions, which were multiple choice when I did them.

teachers get a list of texts and they pick which one to to teach you. there will be a question for each text on the exam paper. you only do the one that you read

i had exam questions about texts for sure

3) General Studies
Question: Jeff has been asked to collect data about the amount of television his friends watch. Think of an appropriate question he could ask them.
Answer: How much TV do you watch?

Tbh, while it wouldn't score many points it's correct.

[Mr Jones]

Question: What is a plasmid?
Answer: A high definition television

That is definitely a laugh from me...

 

[DampCat]

10 is best, i laughed.

 

[yermum]

Is it me or do those essays look like they were marked by a 12 year old. Could a teacher not do something to improve their writing and set an example to their students?

The TV one is awesome! However, I'm at a loss as to how it could be answered any differently?

 

[semi-pro waster]

That's not the way the education system works though. If you give an answer that's not on the syllabus, it's wrong. Even if it's correct.

Sadly probably true but if so then we need a better syllabus and possibly better teachers, if I was marking some of them I'd have trouble containing my laughter, in fact I'd probably give some marks for lateral thinking.

The TV one is awesome! However, I'm at a loss as to how it could be answered any differently?

They were looking for a question like "How many hours a day do you watch TV?" but the answer he put was technically correct.

Would be how I'd think it was meant to be answered.
