<p>Why</a> so serious? Screwing with the AP test graders part 2 | Facebook</p>

<p>1) In the middle of an essay randomly write the words "WHY SO SERIOUS?"
2) Draw a single line through what you just wrote
3) Continue with the essay as normal</p>

<p>It WILL NOT effect your score if you strike it out! Anything with a line through it is considered "not a part of the essay".</p>

<p>WHOO. im excited. i just wish they chose another phrase.
i think last years "THIS IS SPARTA" sounds funnier and more random.
are you guys gonna do this?</p>

<p>All this does is make the job of the readers harder, and demonstrate the immaturity of the students writing the essays.</p>

<p>Actually, the news articles about last year’s prank said that most of the readers enjoyed it, and it lightened the mood of the whole tedious grading process.</p>

<p>And I don’t think it’s immature, at least not in a bad way. It’s a harmless, simple way to bring some sense of human life to the world of AP tests. Maybe it’s playful, but it’s not childish.</p>

<p>Any readers want to comment?</p>

<p>its only immature if you overuse it.
saying 3 striked out words in an essay isnt going to make things harder to grade.
saying it every sentence is pushing it.</p>
