F This Test: Even More of the Very Best Totally Wrong Test Answers

By Richard Benson

New York Times–Bestselling Series: A collection of laugh-out-loud incorrect test answers showcasing the brilliance of stumped students.

From the author of the bestselling F in Exams, and F for Effort comes this all-new collection of inventively wrong—yet totally real—test responses by students who don’t know the answer, but come up with something better instead.

Featuring crucial academic subjects including English (Q: Name a key theme in Madame Bovary; A: Cows), Geography (Q: Where can you find the Andes?; A: Google Earth), Science (Q: Describe the properties of a meteor; A: An animal that only eats meat) and more, F this Test rounds out the curriculum with an extra-credit section for those tricky elective courses, and demonstrates that it’s more fun to laugh when faced with an absolute fail.

Book preview

School can be fun. If you know all the answers, filling out a test paper can be

a) A snap

b) A breeze

c) A cinch

d) All of the above

But of course there are those times when you don’t know the answers. We’ve all been there: You look at the question, read it again, skip it, come back to it later, and still draw a total blank.

Faced with this catastrophe, the students whose real test answers are collected here didn’t give up. They decided to have a little fun instead, and their answers—wrong, but brilliantly wrong—should earn them extra credit, if school or life was remotely fair.

While, alas, their grades may have suffered, their collected efforts are here at least for us to enjoy.

How does Dickens create sympathy for Pip in Great Expectations?

List the main events of Robinson Crusoe.

Reviews for F This Test

[brucecoulson · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A collection of wrong answers from various exams, tests, and quizzes. Some are stupid, some are snarky, some are genuinely funny...and a few are strangely appropriate, even if they weren't what the teacher was looking for. "What lead towards Nancy's death in Oliver Twist?" "Charles Dickens killed her."

Humor abounds in this collection of wrong answers. I would be very surprised if the teachers didn’t laugh at some of the absurd answers and I hope the students got some credit for ingenuity. For example: Q - What are the main features of baroque music? A - It can’t be fixed. The book is worth reading and then reading again.

This was just wonderful. With funny non-answers and quite a lot of snark, these creative teenagers made my day. Some of the answers come with their own illustrations. Lots of good belly laughs here. 5 stars.
