Another Charlie Brown moment

Today I got to school around eight for an exam in the class I'm TAing. I had already gathered materials like pencils, erasers, photocopied tests, and bubble sheets. The test began and everything seemed to be going smoothly aside from a slight shortage of bubble sheets when it transpired that although I had carefully created two versions of the test with the questions in a different order and the cover pages different colors, I had forgotten to remove the asterisks that marked the correct answers. Whoops!

Happily, the instructor consummately kept his cool and announced that the test would only be graded on the essay section.

Smooooooooooooooooooth hahaha.

Sounds like the best test ever. I hate scantron, but always do well on the essays.

Reminds me of a test I took in high school. In my calculus class, my teacher handed out the tests and I started doing mine as normal. About a quarter way through I realized that about 75% of the questions very faintly had the answers already filled in the blanks, as I someone wrote them in but then erased them later. It was at that moment that it dawned on me that it was the original copy of the test that my teacher must have used to "test" his test by going through it himself, and then he erased everything and used it to make copies.

Part of me freaked out and wanted to tell him, but instead, I kept the test and used his answers as checkpoints for my own. Additionally, not all of the questions actually had half-erased answers, so for those, I was on my own.

I ended up getting a rather high (but not perfect) score on that test. I asked my friend later on if she thought it might have possibly been a trap or test of character Lahti (our teacher) may have set up. She shrugged and said he probably didn't notice because he's old. No big deal.

In retrospect, not nearly as awesome when my Japanese teacher started using mine and my friend's tests and quizzes as the answer keys for his TAs to grade the rest of the class' stuff.

That incident is in some ways even worse than what happened today considering that the teacher didn't catch it. Your second anecdote reminded me of the following:

Kylo, was that test one of those "DO NOT WRITE ON THE EXAM" tests? Someone might've written on it, realized that they couldn't do that, and tried to erase them as best as possible. This is assuming there was another section ahead of you, or that he re-uses old tests =P

Japanese was not a good friend of mine...15 hours of studying and a 68 on the final later, we're still not talking...

And that story was awesome Kodi...

Wow! I'm glad it worked out, though. What class is it?

No, it was actually the opposite; we were supposed to staple all pieces of paper with our work on them onto the test itself, but our answers themselves all had an answer space alongside the test. I'm 100% certain that it was the 'master copy' that my teacher had used himself before making more copies and passing out the test. It was dumb luck that I was passed that particular copy.

And in Japanese, it really only happened because my friend and I were among the only people who tried. Our TAs were useless. Out of a class of maybe 30 people in Japanese III, there were maybe 6 of us who were actually 'on level.' I'm barely functional in Japanese anymore though. I can still read and write and say really basic things, but other than that, it's all gone.
