F in Exams: The Very Best Totally Wrong Test Answers by Richard Benson

Necessity is the mother of invention. When these students didn’t know the answers, they pulled out all the stops to come up with something- sometimes with hilarious results.

At other times though, I despaired for the future…

I think that F in Exams would be enjoyed the most by current or former educators.

I read some of these aloud to my husband who used to be a college professor and he laughed so hard that he had tears in his eyes. Then, it led to a conversation about not knowing the answers on tests and making stuff up to fill in the blanks.

He admitted that he had done so once in a marketing class and the prof had given him points for his creativity.

Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever attempted joking my way into a better grade. This book makes me wish that I had, just once.

His favorite: Question: “What was Sir Francis Drake known for? Answer: Sir Francis Drake circumsized the world with a 100 foot clipper.”

My favorite: Question: “Clair was well prepared for her interview. Explain how Claire may have prepared herself for the interview. Answer: Had a bath and put on her lucky pants.” There’s a lot to be said for a pair of lucky pants.

F in Exams would make excellent reading material for a doctor’s office or any other place where you need to spend a few moments relaxing (ahem, powder room?), in which case, you should buy your own copy. Otherwise, I’d recommend borrowing this short little book from your local library as I’m sure that I’m not going to feel the need to pick it up again.

Thanks for reading!
