The Make-up test~~~joke
Two students were taking a college chemistry course. They did pretty well on all the work going into the final. They did so well, in fact, that they each had a solid A grade. Having such a good grade made them so cocky that they decided to party with some friends rather than study before their final exam. They had such a good time, they didn't get back on campus until early on the morning of the final. Rather than take the final in their condition, they told the professor that they had been on their way back in plenty of time to study but got a flat tire. They had no spare and had great difficulty getting help, so they asked to take a makeup exam at a later date. The professor agreed they could take the test the next day. The students were overjoyed and studied that night, confident they would keep their good grade. They were on time at the examination hall and were placed in separate rooms. Each was handed a test booklet and told to begin. The first problem was quite easy and worth five points. Their confidence soared even higher! They completed the problem and turned the page. It said, "For 95 points, which tire?"

How good is this....I had a teacher do almost the same trick on me.

Alot of the class wasn't reading directions too good so teach gives everyone a final exam which would count as 10% of our final grade. In the directions that was stapled as another page, she put in "after directions are read, sign your name & turn in"....about half the class got it, signed their name & walked out, while us idiots who didn't read EVERYTHING remained behind doing a test at was doomed to get a F just by not following directions!
It taught me a lesson I will never forget.

Thanks for the ole college flashback

i've been in a class that the teacher did that too... but it was only worth a 'quiz' grade.. not a big test. pretty funny though, to see the looks on the other students' faces when most of the class was turning their papers in and leaving after 2 minutes and they were only on the 1st problem!!!
