Writing a Whole Page in Exam Just to Hide the Fact That You Don’t Know the Answer
Because if they can’t find your mistake…
maybe they’ll just pass you out of confusion.
My thought process during exams:
“I don’t know the answer…”
“But what if I just… write everything I do know and hope they get tired?”
“Let me draw a diagram to make it look serious.”
Throws in keywords from the question for aesthetic
Ends with ‘etc.’ to sound wise
What the page looks like:
Intro
Random facts
Bullet points that make no sense
One neatly drawn table
Confidence?
Me after submitting the paper:
“I may not know medicine…
But I do know the art of academic illusion.”
