For the AP Gov test, I drew massive ducks on the rest of the pages available for the essay (lame duck).

Have you guys heard about that group of a few hundred people who wrote "THIS IS SPARTA" and then crossed in out in the middle of their AP Free Responses/Essays? That's legendary right there.

Wow that's a dumb thing to do. Would you want a ****ed off person reading your essay?

haha I remember looking at that question and wanting to write that "this whole test is a lame duck"

I know, it's stupid.

But I found the words "lame duck," for some reason, to be very annoying.

In addition to This is Sparta, I'll write "Scientology is a destructive cult xenu.net"

My friends and I were planning on using the extra time in our conversational speaking sections on AP Spanish Lang to say "Dios Mio! Mi madre se esta muriendo!" We never did though, but it would have been fun.

Someone I know memorized Paul Revere's Ride by Henry Wadsworth Longsfellow and wrote it on their green essay prompts sheet for AP Government.

Someone else I know wrote the first 100 powers of 2 (i.e. 2, 4, 8, 16).

hey I drew a line of lame ducks too! xD

I also drew about 5 pages of detailed prom dresses after my free response, since my gov teacher's a grader and always complains about girls drawing prom dresses on the test, haha.

THIS IS SPARTA.

That was a fulfilling FRQ.

Dude, I wish I had known about the Sparta thing. It totally would have filled up some awfully blank spaces on my Calc free response.

English Lit, though, I promise I'll put it in every essay, somewhere.

Once, in eighth grade when we were doing state testing, I was finished with my test and was watching my best friend do hers, and the question was to write a response about how pollution of the river was affected by the commercialization of the area, or something.

And she wrote "MAYBE THE RIVER WOULDN'T BE SO POLLUTED IF YOU'D STOP BUILDING NIGHTCLUBS SO ALL THE DRUNK PEOPLE WOULDN'T BARF IN THE RIVER" and she drew this huge picture of dead fish floating in the river and drunk people barfing all over it. I laughed so hard they ha to remove me from the test room, hahaha.

And I vaguely remember writing "????????? I DON'T KNOW IDFK" on one of the Government free responses last year, I think the one about war powers or something and then just filling the page with question mark doodles.

I wrote a paragraph about Menlo Park on the green insert of the Spanish Language exam to review for APUSH. Only I did it in Spanish, so my teacher's going to freak out thinking it's part of my essay and it wasn't on topic.

Uh, that was some really convoluted syntax. I hope I made sense.

Lol the "This is Sparta!" gag is catching on like wildfire. The cool thing about that though, is that in later years when Collegeboard uses sample FRQs from our year, students will read it and laugh--or not, depending on their sense of humor. o;
