An exam can be a tense and nerve racking atmosphere, so it’s always nice when something funny or downright ridiculous happens during it. From stink bombs to cheaters getting their comeuppance, here are the 6 funniest things to happen during an exam.
1. “George Michael made an appearance in my medical school exam” – Kind of
You might be mad that George Michael didn’t actually burst through the doors of an exam hall while singing his heart out, but you have to respect the pinch line of this delightful little story.
In med school, there’s a component in the final exam where you have to see real patients as if you were a doctor doing a consultation with them. By finals day, exam fever was running high and we were all a little hyper. My friends and I decided to have a competition to insert the title of George Michael songs into our consultations. I didn’t really expect to be able to do it, but it made me smile going in.
Fast forward to a consultation I was having with a nice elderly man. He was telling me all about his symptoms, and I was nodding sympathetically, as you do.
‘So, when did the trouble start?’ I asked him.
He thought about it. ‘Around December, I think.’
I beamed at him. ‘Last Christmas?’
