<p>I wasn’t in the class, but last year a friend of mine was taking the BC Calc exam (I think, I know it was some AP exam). So randomly during the exam he sings loudly: “Backstreet’s back…” and like 5 other kids said the “Alright!”. They got in trouble but their scores weren’t canceled or anything.</p>
<p>@ ActionRoad: That’s BY FAR the best story yet. I just literally lol’ed</p>
<p>Backstreet’s back and AP Calculus BC? I see no relation to them other than the words Backstreet and back having the letters B and C.</p>
<p>^…It’s a song.</p>
<p>OoovooO, I know the feeling. It’s heartbreaking. Good thing I did it on a class midterm rather than an AP.</p>
<p>We have this proctor who follows test procedures too carefully (and overkills at times). During the AP Art History test, someone had their multiple choice answers open during the time they were collecting the inserts for the color picture multiple choice section and he got mad and told the whole room that he had to report that to the College Board.</p>
<p>Someone’s phone went off (albeit pretty quietly) during English Lang. I glanced at the proctor, who was standing up, and she had this “better turn it off or else…” look, but she didn’t do anything. I didn’t really think she would have done anything, anyway.</p>
<p>For the English Language Exam, right before break, I swear the “Place seal here” areas for the multiple choice booklet were in different places on the front and back, so no matter where I placed my sticker, I couldn’t cover all of the area. I think it was just for English, because I’m OCD about that kind of stuff. So I kept ripping off the seal and re-applying it and generally getting very frustrated, and the proctors had to come around just to collect my packet after everyone else was finished. xD</p>
<p>@everary</p>
<p>MINE TOO! I think they were in different places. That happened on more than one occasion. It drove me insane.</p>
<p>LOLZ at the strict proctor</p>
<p>There was a slight fire during the middle of one of the exams. So, the students have to take the essay portion on the designated late-testing date.</p>
<p>During the Micro test today, a bunch of kids at one table were acting stupid and laughing. The proctors were in no mood for that, having administered many hours AP tests for the past couple weeks. They separated them and said that they would invalidate their tests for disruptive behavior if they continued. 0_0</p>
<p>during micro, a guy’s phone rang, with the ringtone Nothing on You, and it rang for like 2 min straight but the proctor didnt hear lol.</p>
<p>^lol, that is a catchy song. A phone went off in the middle of our Micro test too, but it ended up being the phone in the librarian’s office, since we were testing in the library.</p>
<p>Some ******bag teacher next door to where we were taking the AP test wouldn’t quiet down her students when our proctor asked her to and she even started playing a video with the volume loud. It took our proctor knocking on their door about 5 different times and two visits from the vice-principal before she finally shut up.</p>
<p>Yeah my place seal here things were uneven, but it was probably because the booklet’s cover was slightly pushed. I sealed fine though. During the AP Euro exam, which I didn’t take, a fire alarm went off in the last 20 minutes of school. During my AP World Exam, the bell rings and kids start screaming after class is over.</p>
<p>all the place seal here things were uneven
o_O</p>
<p>@BehindTheLens WHAT?? you’re joking right, how could they let someone like that into the school</p>
<p>My friend’s phone rang pretty loudly during our Lang exam, good thing all the proctors were on the other side.</p>
<p>For World History today, everyone in the class started doing the wave before the exam started, lol. Then during the middle of the essays, someone was playing Beat It really loudly outside, ahahah.</p>
<p>Things I did this year to alleviate the boredom after double checking your work with 20 minutes left:</p>
<p><em>I had various proctors</em></p>
<p>I tore up my microeconomics and macroeconomics booklets so that I looked like some sort of serial killer. (I act very eccentric around my economics teacher, and only my economics teacher. I’m pretty sure she thinks I’m really stupid. Also crazy.)</p>
<p>I also drew giraffes on the inside of the econ booklets, and wrote ‘baby’ in increasingly larger and larger words until they were half the size of the page, with OHHHHH covering the bottom. My proctor was much amused.</p>
<p>As a habit, I also take all of the pencils and pens I can get away with taking. During the econ test, my proctor had to give out other writing implements because all of the pens and pencils mysteriously disappeared. You see, Christiansoldier and I have a competition on who can accumulate the most pens/pencils by the end of AP season. I have won. </p>
<p>I pushed pens and pencils inside of the plastic-wrapped booklets through the tiny hole around the red liner before we were supposed to open them. I then repeatedly ask the proctor whether the test was already supposed to have come up with pencils. She was flabbergasted.</p>
<p>I would continuously whisper SHHHHH whenever anyone coughed or sneezed, and even SHHH’ed the proctor when she announced that there was 5 minutes left. She kinda made a *** did he just SHUSH me look and then sat down.</p>
<p>Yup. Story of my life, AP 2010.</p>
