When you don't know the answer to a test problem, WHAT DO YOU DO?!

<p>I've always scribbled some random, convoluted bs with light comedic undertones and desperately hoped for partial credit.</p>

<p>A la "Funny</a> Student Exam Answers"</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>Do you leave the answer blank, offer your best guess, or attempt humor?</p>

<p>unfortunately on the SAT/ACT you dont have that option :-P. that's when you beat yourself up mentally and move on to the next question</p>

<p>My friend told me about the elephant one, and it's still my favorite. I LOVE IT. So funny. :P</p>

<p>Uh...At the risk of sounding incredibly arrogant, that's not usually a problem. Math/Science are my strong suits, as are MC tests. So my calculus class didn't have very hard tests. We didn't have English tests beyond vocab quizzes, and I love writing too so the in-class essays were fun as well. History had MC tests, which are my favorite. Physics had insanely difficult tests with problems that the teacher didn't know how to solve (he would come up with crazy problems not knowing if they could even BE solved). If I couldn't get them, I would just BS and write true stuff down and hope for partial credit. Grading on a curve (on one test, my score of 75% was the high score and an A) and senioritis helped make up for my deficiency in points anyway.</p>

<p>Those are all old, but I usually leave the answer blank if I really can't muster up anything to write. Last year I drew robots all over a calc test.</p>

<p>I hope I don't have to skip that many answers this year, but I have a few fun things in mind if I get the chance. My AP English teacher is a reader, I might write "this is sparta" on my first essay just to mess with her a bit.</p>

<p>i wrote "this is sparta" in my physics test and got a 3 hahahaah</p>

<p>For MC, I always take an educated guess and rely on the law of large numbers. This even applies when I take the SAT.</p>

<p>For written, I assemble together everything that comes to my mind and put together an ambiguous-sounding answer. Those usually get more than half-credit, to my delightful surprise.</p>

<p>lol @ the expand one.</p>

<p>On a Spanish test, I drew a plate of food (the vocabulary was food/dining), convinced that I was going to do horribly. I got an A, which I found really weird because I didn't really understand the material. But my teacher appreciated my drawing of food (it was labeled, too!).</p>

<p>But my real imagination in terms of making stuff up came in physics my sophomore year. I drew comics that somewhat related to physics (I didn't really remember much). It was quite enjoyable because almost every time I turned in a exam, I gave him a look through like, "You totally want to see what I drew." It sucks that I don't have them (teachers collect exams so people won't cheat in future years). They always amused me, even though I usually failed, which I guess is good because I had amusement with the failure. Heh.</p>

<p>I don't think anyone can understate the importance of humor in school (sometimes it DOES tip the scale with certain teachers).</p>

<p>I usually try to add some humor into the situation if I have no clue whatsoever on the answer, but so far I've met one teacher who didn't appreciate that (what I wrote was NOT inappropriate).</p>

<p>I try to go with the best I know, especially with essay questions. At least, you can get partial credit. And I write a lot of nonsense.</p>

<p>^ Yeah, I also happen to do a lot of BSing if I don't know the answer.</p>

<p>On art history exam essays, you are supposed to fully identify paintings and analyse them. When I don't remember the artist's name or the name of the painting but what it looks like. I just draw it, and write. It looks like THIS. and for the analysis, I'd give the broadest explaination of all paintings. like: it was painted by an artist using brushes. LOL. some how, I always end up with most of the points. Maybe the teacher likes my illustrations. My friend, on the other hand, draws a million smiley faces at the end of his test and one day the teacher said that she liked it, and the next time, EVERYONE's test was covered with smiley faces.</p>

<p>Mark option C, trust old C</p>

<p>Yeah, I saw this a while back...funny stuff. My favorite: <a href="http://www.jimmyr.com/blog/img/651_4_91_2007.jpg%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.jimmyr.com/blog/img/651_4_91_2007.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>As for what to do when you don't know the answer to a test problem, I just go with intuition and hope for the best.</p>

<p>I draws a grue.</p>

<p>lol, I think I should try giving funny answers in the future. 'til now, I've been just giving it my best shot, knowing I wouldn't get the answer right.</p>

<p>Usually the last one...if I can receive a dollar for every time I put Chuck Norris, Pikachu's Grace, Charmeleon, Yugioh, Gandalf the Gray, and the like...</p>

<p>...I'll leave it to you to imagine.</p>

<p>For math, I usually know how to do it but am thinking in the wrong mindset so I come back to the problem.
Essay- BS. Rofl, I wrote this rambling explanation on some random (really specific) question and got several points out of it xD</p>
