<p>AP artwork should be made into a coffee table book.</p>
<p>one time i was doing my test and this guy was stretching his head to copy the person next to him (it was sooo obvious). i started laughing and couldnt stop so the proctors flagged me lol</p>
<p>So two years ago during the AP Lit exam this guy at my school stood up during the middle of the test and pulled out a cell phone and said “what? New york is on fire? ON MY WAY!” and then proceeded to rip off his clothes because he had a superman costume on and ran out of the gym…needless to say this guy is a legend</p>
<p>Some kid pulled the fire alarm lever so the fire alarm went off during AP exam last year.</p>
<p>This year, they took extra caution and told us to keep writing the exam if there is a fire alarm, and we’re only allowed to get out if the flames reach the classroom.</p>
<p>You know how you’re not supposed to talk about the FRQs for 48 hours? If you go to your AP teacher after the test to say “yeah, it was easy/hard/etc,” do yours always ask what the FRQs were? I find it funny that we’re not supposed to say, but yet our teachers ask! Teachers don’t even obey the rules. After the AP Euro test, we thought we should go tell our teacher it wasn’t too bad, and somehow he was still there at school at 3:40ish, and his first question was “what was the DBQ?” Also, for APUSH last year, we go in there, and say “hey, test is done. It wasn’t too bad.”…teacher immediately interrupts with “What was the DBQ!?” I’m always like “thought you weren’t supposed to be asking me that.”</p>
<p>Okay so WT H is up with the proctors looking at you everytime you raise your head to look at the time? In one of my AP tests, the clock was right above the proctor’s head (he seemed really bored) and despite there being a watch on my wrist, I looked at the clock a gazillion times. Everytime I did, the proctor would stare directly at my eyes which was really awkward. There were 30 other people in the class, why look at just me?</p>
<p>^ Similar to your story, I took one of my exams in the gym (there were probably about 100 kids at least) and there were proctors at the front of every 5 rows or so (4 students to a row) and anytime you looked up to stare into space to think or try to remember something, or looked up at the clock, they just stare you down as if you’re doing something wrong. It’s really kinda unnerving.</p>

<p>Uhh… I’m pretty sure that this is illegal, if it’s a real fire alarm then they have to let you out. Besides, unless the classroom is its own building, if the flames reach the classroom you might already be screwed. I can’t believe any “responsible” adult would say that, even if there is a history of prank fire alarm pulls it’s better to compromise the AP test than the lives of the takers.</p>
<p>^@JohnnyHoppy, Yeah, my proctor during my AP Calc test would look at me in a weird way when I looked at the clock. He always seemed to be just staring at us. He was the only proctor I’ve ever had who actually stood there staring at us; everyone else just has their face stuck in their computer during the whole test.</p>
<p>@ iluvpiano no, I self studied, which apparently is unheard of at my school. The short response question with the nudes made it really awkward. (The proctor is like a 60 year old woman btw)</p>
<p>During AP Spanish people were messing with their tapes as they were being passed out so the proctors kept looking around. Hahaha</p>
<p>^During AP Spanish, we had 2 recorders that didn’t work!</p>
<p>^ We had at least 10 that didn’t work (most got replaced) and 5 that went out during the test. How many students did you have taking your test? We had well over 100.</p>
<p>Can teachers proctor an AP exam? that seems to be what is happening in my school…</p>
<p>@bobtheboy:Lol we have lots of fire alarm pranks at our school, especially at this time of the year.
yep, i guess we would be screwed if we waited till the flames come in :/</p>
<p>@OrangeD00D- we only had 15 people taking the AP Spanish test. I go to a small school, of only 600 kids total, and AP Spanish isn’t one of the biggest APs. You must go to a really large school!</p>
<p>lol I am going to bump this! I need more funny stories!</p>
<p>During my APUSH exam, we sat in a cleared out cafeteria because there were so many test takers. I sat in the back, and a guy near the front of the room was constantly leaning back in his chair, and finally fell over with a loud crash. I started applauding, and then everyone else joined in, and the kid bowed. It was a great de-stresser for the test that followed.</p>
<p>The proctor fell asleep during my AP Psychology test. The kid two rows behind me had his only pencil break, so he yelled across the room to the [sleeping] proctor that he needed a new pencil. The proctor was ticked that a kid woke him up, so he chucked about 10 pencils across the room at the kid.</p>
<p>Wrote “Dear whoever’s reading these horrible essays, YOLO, so you might as well give me a 5” on my last AP World FRQ then crossed it out. Not very interesting though.</p>
