<p>Lots of people leave messages on the Free Response section of their AP exams for the bored question graders to read. I know one girl who wrote a short story about a duck named Felipe who got eaten by a whale (she described it to me, it sounded really weird) and another guy who wrote about his relationship problems.</p>
<p>Any memorable stories?</p>
<p>Last year or the year before there were thousands of students who wrote “this is SPARTA” somewhere within their FRQs. It was in the news and everything. Here’s the Facebook group: [Everybody</a> write “THIS IS SPARTA!” on your AP and school essays | Facebook](<a href=“Facebook Public Group | Facebook”>Facebook Public Group | Facebook)</p>
<p>Did anyone actually do the “Imma let you finish, but” like all the facebook groups said? Also, my friend told me that she wrote Snapple Facts that she remembered on the bottom of her FRQs, and lots of people wrote stuff like “please have mercy on me” or “I just BSed this and I’m tired, please give me a 5.”</p>
<p>I told them on one page that there was nothing written on the next page, so they shouldn’t look to save time, then on the next page i wrote “What? you didn’t believe me?”</p>
<p>“Yo AP grader, I’m really happy for you, and I’m going to let you finish, but Hamlet was one of the best plays of all time. ONE OF THE BEST PLAYS OF ALL TIME!” <em>proceeds to cross this out</em></p>
<p>The AP graders won’t find it funny if your essays/FRQs suck. In fact, they’ll probably just annoyed.</p>
<p>Does anybody know if the readers ever actually read anything that is crossed out? I know the rule is that nothing that’s crossed out should be counted or considered in the scoring… but how are they not tempted to at least see what was originally there (especially if it’s something silly that has nothing to do with the essay)?</p>
<p>I doubt AP graders are completely lifeless. I’m sure they enjoy occasional jokes made by the students, as long as it’s clear it isn’t a part of the essay.</p>
<p>Saying you BSed the essay is the dumbest thing you could do-- then, you have no chance of trying to convince them you know what you’re talking about.</p>
<p>I think it’s really funny, but I’d never do it-- it seems too risky!</p>
<p>After I finished the US Gov FRQs, I drew a cat dressed up as Abraham Lincoln in the margin.</p>
<p>I agree I3auer… I think it’s hilarious, but personally wouldn’t ever do it. :p</p>
<p>I wrote on calc BC, “Yo, limits, i’m gonna let you finish, but L’Hopital had one of the best ways of solving limits OF ALL TIME” <em>crossed out</em></p>
<p>People were talking about what they drew after the exam. I tried to smile and laugh. But, really, writing or drawing crap on your test is stupid and immature.</p>
<p>I had no idea about one of the parts of one of the FRQ questions on Calc AB today, so I wrote: “Sorry, I have no clue what’s going on with this question, but here’s a smiley face to brighten your day.” and drew a huge smiley face. </p>
<p>:P</p>
<p>I didn’t have the heart to do it on today’s calc exam (felt awful after being sick). </p>
<p>I am planning “■■■” , “THIS IS SPARTA” , “Why so serious?” , and my personal creation “Ahead of the curve.” (in reference to the interrogation scene of the Dark Knight as well as a pun on the usually-leniant AP exam curves).</p>
<p>I’ll probably only do something like that if I have time to spare AFTER checking my work. But if I do, I’ll probably draw a middle finger with a mouth, shouting, “eff you, collegeboard”</p>
<p>For a FRQ on the World History I wrote “Sorry, but I have no idea what the question is even asking. Turn to next page–”</p>
<p>“Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say good bye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.”</p>
<p>Maybe that’s why I got a 2 lol</p>
<p>A bug was on my Calc AB FRQ and I squashed it. Bug guts got all over my paper D:</p>
<p>I wrote, “Sorry, killed a bug here” with an arrow pointing to its remains.</p>
<p>^ Your getting a one :P</p>
<p>@zerodyne

<p>That’s pretty funny haha
(both the rick rolling on paper and the bug comment)</p>
