Funny stories from exam day

guy who sat next to me arrived 3 minutes before the doors were shut for both sessions. 5 min before the morning session was over (i was done.. just waited and watched people freaking out), the proctor comes to the guy and tells him to hurry up. i thought that was strange until i see his blank answer sheet. he starts to fill in his ovals and the proctor looks at me and rolls her eyes.
it took me a couple of minutes just to bubble in my name and candidate number.. i was so sure he wasn’t going to finish. just as they announced the test was over, he filled in the last answer.
during the break we talked about our calculators, the hp 12c. he borrowed it from a friend and only knew how to add and subtract. he did everything else on paper.
 
I wrote it in TO.
The guy seated beside me would read a question then wave his hands in dismay, to signal that he didn’t know how to do it. There were instances where he started talking to himself.
Haha, then there was the guy with a CASIO calculator hahaha….poor bloke.

thank God he finished the exam lol..I hope there were more people like him.
 
There was a guy who came to exam in the morning session & didn’t had pencil. He borrowed one of mine.
 
I lent a pencil to a woman who didn’t know she needed one for the test.
 
Someone’s stomach growled really loud within the first minute of the 2nd half. Or at least I thought it was a stomach growl….
 
During the break most of the people near me were sitting very quietly, looking dejected, staring at the tabletops. A guy walks up and his friend says, “how’d you do?”. He said loudly “Oh I thought it was so easy, I feel really good” (one of those loud guys, you know the type)
Everyone simultaneously turned around to see who was talking and gave him the EVILLEST looks… it looked so choreographed I started laughing…
 
Tokyo Dec 2:
My HP12c is 15 years old and the square HP log mark (top right) simply fell several years ago. They almost didn’t allow it at check in because it without the logo mark is was slightly different from the photo comparisons they had… thank god they finally said “OK”.
We were PACKED into these tiny fixed position chairs and desks. The tiny space between the chairs and desk was ridiculous and the desk was only about a foot deep, barely fitting the exam book. My back and neck are killing. But some guy who seemed perfectly health had a cushioned chair and big desk all to himself - I wonder how he swung that…
 
I saw some a-hole in Boston waltz into the coat room during the break and announce to his buddy in a big loud voice that the test was “Easy Breezy”.
Dude, if you are reading this, I want you to know that I think you are a d-bag.
 
Two guys came into my Exam 1.5 hrs late. I was shocked, but they were Uni students and I think they HAD to show up for credit. I wrote in Seoul.
