Being young and innocent has the benefit of causing kids to be hilariously witty, and what makes it better is that they don’t even know they’re doing it. Exams are meant to be a serious time, but with kids, sometimes they can cause even the strictest examiner to have a chuckle or two. If you don’t believe us, here are 75 times students hilariously broke their exam answers.
1. Put a ring on it
If there’s ever a chance to quote Beyoncé’s famous single ladies, then you have to take it. Everybody knows it’s in the Beyoncé code of conduct. Kudos to the teacher’s answer though.
2. Heartless giraffes
After seeing this picture, we’d have to agree that if this was a real-life situation, we’d be thinking the exact same. What happened to looking out for your less fortunate mates? Someone give this little guy a piggyback!
3.Racism
Okay, we think this answer is a little far fetched, but the kid sure does have a point. We’re not sure the examiner was in agreement, though.
4. How high was Jason?
How old is this kid, and how does he know about getting high? Sorry, that was the mom in us. He seems to have a great sense of humor, regardless.
5. Not my problem!
This kid’s attitude is pretty relatable, and it’s safe to say that we’ve all been in a position like this. You know, when we’re wondering why it’s down to us to complete a task and not the ones whose job it is to do it. Leave it to the ones who get paid!
6. Ghosts are made up
When we used to have nightmares, the first thing our parents would tell us is that ghosts aren’t real- so we can’t blame this kid for this answer! They probably think that they aced the test, and we think they deserve half a mark for listening to their parents.
7. I… they’re not wrong
In all honesty, if we were asked a question like this, our answer would be something along the same lines. Can anyone think of a more sensible solution to overpopulation? Please let us know.
8. The Queen sat on the throne
Well… she’d not going to stand on the throne, is she? This is another answer where we’d have to say that this person has actually given the right answer. If we were made Queen of England, the first thing we’d do is sit on our shiny golden throne.
9. Mom’s ironing
Also taking answers such as: when your sister straightens your hair for you, when your mom closes the press studs on your jacket, or when a celebrity has their picture snapped by the paparazzi.
10. The daredevil student
This student is keen to show just what a risk-taker they are- though we’re not sure a written exam is the place to do it. With that being said, we’re pleased to see that they were given a tick for their answer, even if it was a read one. It seems to us that they understand the concept of risk completely.
11. Jesus is always the answer
This kid might not have been listening in Math class, but he certainly has been in church. Does he get any marks for creativity in those answers? Jesus would be proud.
12. Giraffe bribery
What could convince a teacher more to give you full marks than a lovely hand-drawn picture of a giraffe? We think the amount of time and effort gone into the drawing deserves at least a couple of extra marks- and the teacher seems to agree. Check out the little +1 the student has been rewarded with!
13. A literal plant cell
The thing with these kinds of answers is that they’re not technically incorrect. Okay, so it might not be the type of plant cell that the teacher was expecting to be drawn, but you can’t deny that this picture of a plant in a cell isn’t also somewhat correct?
14. Name the quadrilateral
We have to admire the creativity in name choices that went into this answer, and we’re in full agreement that the orange square does indeed look like a Bob. We’d have to knock a mark off for Harry not being spelled with a capital letter, but aside from that, we’d award this answer top marks!
15. Greedy Bob
Here’s another Bob- but this time, he’s eating all the candy. We remember these kinds of tests from when we were younger, and they always made us hungry to think about! We wished our moms would have let us eat 29 candy bars in one go.
16. Math is hard
We’ll have to admit, it’s been a good few years since we last did Math, and looking at this picture, we’d be pretty stumped too. We think it’s a pretty creative solution to a complicated problem.
17. Spellings
We love how creative the kid got with this task, and can’t help feeling it was a shame that they didn’t manage to fit in a perfect ten worded sentence. Still, we’re pretty impressed with their ‘octopus’ spelling.
18. Oh Alice…
To us, this question doesn’t seem to have much context at all, so to assume Alice is blind isn’t actually that far off the mark. Maybe Alice needs to take a trip to the opticians.
19. Show your thinking
We always love a hand-drawn picture in an exam book, and although this kid might not win any artistry awards anytime soon, we think his picture is so adorable! We think the drawn on sad face of the kid just adds to the humor- who looks happy when they’re doing Math?
20. Very funny, Peter
What do you do when you don’t know the answer? Well, when all else fails, why not add in a few wisecracks to your answer? It’s always worth a try.
21. X marks the spot
And the award for the quickest answer is… this guy. We bet this kid whizzed through his exam paper, though we wouldn’t be too keen to hear his results. Still, he gets extra credit for being funny.
22. Man up
This kid has clearly been shown some tough love in their life, and while this isn’t the most sympathetic of answers, we can’t exactly say that it’s wrong… Though admittedly, we’re not sure we’d want them to ever administer any first aid on us. A career as a doctor has probably been ruled out.
23. Thermo what now?
We’re just as stumped as the kid here- and you know what the teacher says- never leave a question blank! Always give it your best shot! We think this is a great effort.
24. A+ for creativity
This kid decided to get smart with every answer, and we’re living for it. As a child, we were too scared to even say boo to a goose, but meanwhile, there are rebellious children like this just swanning (ahem) around? How are kids these days so confident?
25. You cannot be wrong
Have you ever been stuck on a multiple-choice answer, and circled two in the hopes that you would get the mark? Well here is a similar kind of situation. Technically, they’re right…
26. The difference between six and eight
We bet this kid realized that they messed up as soon as their answer trailed off from the incredibly short answer line. We’d have to argue that six is actually pretty curly, but does it matter either way? They’re still going to get a cross.
27. Smart kid
Some questions are so easy, that they’re just an outright insult to your intelligence. Fear not though, because this smart kid is about to put the examiners in their place. That will tell them.
28. Write ‘or’
Is the kid wrong? Not exactly. Is it a creative answer? We think so. Top marks!
29. Let’s be honest
This kid has clearly got bigger issues on his mind than nitrogen atoms- so much so that he left no time for studying for his test! Luckily, his teacher seems pretty cool about it. Everyone needs a teacher like Mr. J.
30. Equations
Equations are just about everybody’s worse nightmares, so we have to respect this person for coming up with an ingenious way to solve one. Technically, six does equal 6.
31. Wise words
This child is going to make a great husband one day, with this kind of knowledge at such an early age. How do we raise a child like this?
32. 100 years later
With medical science improving, people are definitely living longer than before. But this smart kid knows all about the gory details of death, and he’s pretty certain that he won’t live to be over 100. We hope his morbid drawing got full marks!
33. Go poop!
We love how the drawing of the kid suddenly developed longer legs, as well as a big smile after they’ve been to the bathroom. Who knew that pooping could solve so many of life’s problems? Smart advice, we’d say.
34. Is this a trick question?
This kid seemed to be pretty confused as to why he would be asked such a simple question- but may as well dignify is with an answer, regardless. Well of course 1895 ended in 1896!
35. I Like to move it move it
All together now… Dun, dun, dun, dun dun dun dun, dun dun, dun dun. Is it in your heads now? Us too.
36. Love always wins
This kid is definitely a Harry Potter fan. After all, Harry defeated Voldermort with much help from the powerful force of love. This teacher needs to do some background reading!
37. Explain hard water
Close your eyes, and try to picture hard water. What does it look like? Ice, of course! What a smart kid.
38. Impressive…
We have to say, we love the exam question almost as much as the answer. For an 80 point question to be that vague, what were the examiners expecting? We think this drawing of a meme frog is worth at least 70.
39. When a bear gets onto the test
Can’t asnwer a question but don’t want to lose marks? Why not pretend that a bear has invaded the exam paper? Works like a treat.
40. Don’t get political now
We’re pretty impressed that this kid seems to get the gist of politics, and we think that’s enough to warrant a green tick. Who needs science, anyway?
41. Fingers crossed
This person is hoping that if they state that they don’t want an F on their test, then they might not actually get one. Lets hope that the examiner takes pity on them.
42. Be as simple or complex as you like
We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again- this person’s answer is technically correct. Especially when the exam instructs to be as simple or as complex as possible. What do you expect?
43. Lonely cells
How lovely that this child has some empathy in them to think about the cells being lonely. You have to admit that that’s pretty cute.
44. More bribery
Well here’s a form of bribery that actually worked- so listen up kids, it’s always worth a shot! We love that this cute drawing of a giraffe earned the student an extra point. What a cool teacher.
45. Burned fat
Burned fat at the gym smells like… well, a whole lot of sweat and tears. Is this a smart answer? We think so.
46. Four plus two makes six
We love how the student crossed out the number ‘three’ and changed it to ‘four’. You can clearly see that they were struggling to think of any other animals than those two. Well, four plus two make six, to us!
47. The scary ninja
This kid aced his test with 30 out of 30- but was that all the ninja’s doing? It seems that the teacher could have been intimidated into giving full marks. Great tactic!
48. A whole lotta Math
Is it bad enough that you have to work all of your sums out in your head, without then being forced to explain how you did them? This kid clearly doesn’t want to share their knowledge with the world. Or maybe they copied their answer.
49. Because where else?
This might be a literal answer, but technically, the student is right. Where was the Declaration of Independence signed? At the bottom, of course!
50. Time to be honest
Some kids have chores, and some kids don’t. Some kids get pocket money, while other kids don’t. The lucky sods are the ones who don’t do chores and get pocket money.
51. The honest truth
Really though, what do you expect when you ask students to describe school? Only the goody two shoes are going to write about school being a great place.
52. Flattery
We’ve had bribery, and now here’s some flattery to add into the mix. These are some emotionally intelligent students!
53. A football
Well, we’re pretty certain that a football is indeed the size of a football. This kid is going places in life…
54. Smart kid
Children are always encouraged to love themselves and embrace their talents, and this kid is certainly doing just that. However, their little burst of self-confidence wasn’t appreciated by the teacher, who was quick to correct their mistake. Humbug!
55. Guide Davey to his treasure
To be honest, what’s the point in going through the faff of a huge, wriggly maze when there’s an easier option staring you right in the face? Now Davey can have a nice long rest instead of all that pointless walking.
56. A slight spelling mistake
Math/ meth, huh, what’s the difference? For a kid that’s pretty young, they won’t even realise the complications behind telling their teacher that they do meth. We bet that was an interesting phone call.
57. Seems legit
We all know the fear of having forgotten to ask our mom to sign our homework before it’s too late. We bet this kid thought his quick signature would work fine. Her first name is mom, right?
58. Some wise advice
This kid is onto something here, and we think that they deserve a tick for their efforts. We know that Abraham Lincoln would certainly appreciate their answer.
59. Busted…
Is there anything better than your child’s school teacher knowing about your wine habits? We think not. Thanks for that, kid.
60. TMI
We’re torn between this little note being way too much information, but also being pretty necessary at the same time. As the teacher says, who would not want to grade this paper? Snot us (haha).
61. Be kind to animals
This kid was frankly horrified at the thought of a man hitting a dog, and he wants to remind his teacher that animal abuse is totally wrong. You tell ’em, kid! This is the kind of child that we want to raise.
62. What is love?
Baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me, no more. Ahh man, just when you’d got that other song out of your head as well…
63. Come again?
You know where else knowledge about Earth day would come in handy? In this test. See, we’re learning…
64. Sorry I spilled my coffee…
This kid is sneaky on so many levels. Not only did they ‘hide’ their answers underneath the ‘spilled coffee’, but they also know that they cannot be blamed for the spilled drink. Only teachers and parents drink coffee, right?
65. Nice try
This answer had us in stitches, and we can’t quite believe that this kid was brave enough to write a bad word in his exam paper. This kid has some balls! (Unlike the one-testicled man…)
66. Almost…
Ah, one of the best things about kids has to be the accidental swear words that come from their innocent mouths. We bet the teacher totally cracked up when they saw this!
67. He enters adultery
Puberty… adultery… They all end with a ‘y’, right? We think we’d give this kid the mark anyway.
68. They’re not wrong
Name any Mariah Carey song, and it most likely comes with her belting out those impressive high notes. Have you heard the outro of “We Belong Together”? Therefore this answer deserves a big tick.
69. A little lie
This answer is definitely right.
Oops, we told a fibula.
70. There’s always a hazard
Taking into consideration the sheer size of a mobile phone mast, we’re not sure we can get on board with this answer. How could you not see that coming?!
71. A standing computer
To be fair, offices are beginning to introduce the concept of a standing desk, so we can see where this child got their information from. Unfortunately, in this case, it’s the wrong answer.
72. High vibing
We’re pretty impressed with this child’s knowledge of the good old swinging sixties, though we’re not sure that it was quite the answer the teacher was looking for. We bet they’d ace a History test, though!
73. Close by
Varicose?
Vari-cose?
Very close?
Ahh, we’ve got it.
74. A living nightmare
This kid has just discovered his worst nightmare, and what’s worse, there’s nowhere to even hide. Just imagine all the cars in the fields and the cows on the roads. What a palaver!
75. What’s Orpheus’ wife’s name?
“Need I even dignify this question with an answer?” We’re with you on this one, kid.
