I missed my external Oral component for Lote: Hebrew. It was scheduled for 9am - but I was stuck in rainy traffic on Burke road from 8am!! so intense. Arrived late and missed my oral.
Nevertheless, they kindly rescheduled and I sat it a few hours later. The examiners were not pleased (but I had a great excuse which they probably thought was shitty) ;)

Share your crazy stories !!

Goodness, if this had happened to me I think I would have had a breakdown!!

Me too..
Ancient Persian Proverb; " I Wept because i had no Shoes, until i saw a man with no feet!"

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me.

I did Legal Studies in 2009 and aced it all year, with a 98% average and was expecting to do the same in the exam.
During the exam somehow I got it into my head we finished at 5pm not 5:15. I was so focused I didn't even look at the time markings on the board which clearly said "5:15 - Finish" and only looked at the clock. At 4:30 I still hadn't done question 9 which had two parts and the essay (Q10) so I started to panic. Question 9 was a train wreck but nothing compared to the essay. I panicked so much I actually had to write for the essay "can you please read these in order" as my paragraphs were all over the place. And when it got to 5pm, when I thought we were finished the supervisor says "15 minutes left", that was one of the worst feelings I can remember, as for the next minute or two it just kept going through my head "you blew, you had it in the palm of your hands and you blew it". Then I franticly threw in one last ditch effort, although to no aveil.
What made it worse was receiving the statement of marks. The only marks I lost over the entire exam were from questions 9 and 10. Wound up going A+,A+,A (38).
Being an extremely stubborn person I repeated Legal this year and got a much better score  ;D

Not really a crazy story but i wrote my language analysis section of the english exam left-handed just because I was bored and had plenty of time left haha (I'm right-handed obviously).

A mate and I were on our way to the Business exam, it was our last exam for year 12 this year. To get to school, we have to walk over this hill and it's pretty steep. Like, a 45 degree angle steep. We got over it fine, everything was cool. My friend forgot about the rock on the crest. He tripped, fell down the hill and broke his arm. Luckily not his writing arm.

Got into the exam, it swelled up like a bitch. He pulled out an A+ on the exam. God knows how.

A A+ A+ = 42. What a legend.

Apparently, it was so badly broken, he had to get pins in his wrist. Can't imagine the pain.

Getting A+ doesn't mean you get 50, meaning his study score could be improved.

Though from the looks of things, his exam mark would have been pretty high anyway.

Golly.

He isn't going to get special provision because he did as well as he possibly could for the exam, and he hadn't broken his arm during any of the other GA's. The only way his SS could go up is if his other GA's get pushed up, which they won't because he didn't hurt himself prior to them.

English exam- they didn't disable loudspeaker in the VCE Centre, music always plays after recess, so I wrote my context piece to the sound of "WHIP IT! WHIP IT GOOD!"
