About this ebook
This fun omnibus features the complete content from all four books in the popular series—F in Exams, F for Effort, F this Test, and F in Exams: Pop Quiz—plus more than one hundred brand-new, sadly real, hilariously wrong, and sometimes admirably creative student answers (Q: What is the role of a catalyst in a chemical reaction? A: It lists the cats involved).
Also including bonus trivia in the form of “Stuff They Should Have Taught Us in School” facts (did you know a sneeze can travel up to 100 MPH?), this A+ collection will amuse anyone facing down a test as well as those happy to have the classroom behind them.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I'm not going to lie -- I love books like this. Lighthearted ones that will make you laugh and just make you appreciate the stuff you know (or don't know!). I found myself giggling a few times over this one. My only complaint is that some of the answers were a bit hard to read on my kindle, so the physical copy might be better for this one. I would recommend it though. It's such a quick read and worth the laughs! 5 out of 5 stars.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5To err is human....but to put it in print for public consumption is a hilarious view into the minds of kids. In fact, what makes this most appealing is to see from that innocent, or maybe not so, point of view that we as adults regularly lose. ahem, *cough* see 2 star review *cough*. A child falling down isnt funny. Seeing a child falling down and get back up while learning to walk? It is a joy.See? Perspective.This was so much fun. Ive read a few of these books and saw some repeats but I like this presentation in one hilarious volume. Its also kid friendly and easy to pick up and put down, and pick back up. My teenagers all had a good laugh reading this. Many thanks to LibraryThing Early Reviewers and Chronicle Books for this review copy in exchange for an unbiased review.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A hilarious book of accumulated test questions and actual answers by students that "drew a blank" on the test. Although some of the answers are not the "correct" answers, they aren't really "wrong" either. A good quick read with some added chuckles!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Disclosure: I recieved a copy of this book via the LibraryThing early Reviewer program.This is a collection of several smaller books into one big tome of wrong answers. Many of these answers are funny and clever. Most are illustrated with a photo of an "exam", even those that are not original (I've heard the "circumcised the globe with a wooden clipper." for decades)As a teacher, I have a lot of questions. Did the students give permission for their answers to be used in this way? Are we really seeing their drawings and answers? Because that seems like it would be a violation of privacy. I'm conflicted; I also have many howlers from exams that I've given. (My favorite: the student that suggested the reason for the imbalance between the production of male and female gametes is that "sperm won't stop and ask for directions either.") But laughing AT students is not the same as laughing WITH students. So maybe laugh, and then think about how the wording of the question contributed to the confusion? Because writing exams is both an art and a science.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Got this as an ARC copy from LibraryThing. Fun enjoyable read. Simple one or two liners from actual test questions taken by children. Good for when you don't have much time or just need a quick laugh.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a funny, easy read. Perfect for waiting rooms, or when you need to smile for a minute or two. I had to flip to the introduction to verify that the answers provided were from actual test papers...otherwise many were to clever to be believed. I wish the section of elementary school answers was longer, as I found it the most believable.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is all of the best of the worst, featuring the best of the four (or ten if you’re in the UK) best-selling books. Nicely divided into sections featuring, honest, sarcastic, and or technically correct answers, it will leave laughing and shaking your head.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This edition is a compendium of all previous volumes, plus about 100 new additions. If you have been collecting the series up until now, this volume may therefore not be worth it for you to buy. If you haven't bought previous books in the series, or have only one or two, this is a worthy addition to your humor collection. There's nothing startling or groundbreaking, just consistently mistaken answers to examination questions posed to students.
Book preview
F in Exams - Richard Benson
We’ve all been there. You study hard. The big test arrives. You turn over the paper . . . and you draw a total blank. Not a clue.
Over the course of four books in the F in Exams series (F in Exams, F for Effort!, F this Test, and F in Exams: Pop Quiz), I’ve collected the very best, very wrong, hilariously real test answers from students who’ve faced down the unknown and come up with something better instead. Their answers may not have improved their grades, but they have turned the taking and failing of tests into a form of entertainment, for them and for us, and in this I contend they have made the world a better place.
This Complete Failure Edition compiles all of the A+ wit misapplied to F- quiz results from across the series, adding nearly a hundred new entries, and so including a number of my new, all-time favorite answers (carbodehydrated
indeed). I’ve also compiled a recurring trivia element I’ve called Stuff They Should Have Taught Us in School, featuring facts and tidbits I’ve come across that in my opinion might keep and hold student attention and boost attendance and grades, should they be emphasized. You are welcome.
Whether you, dear reader, are still in school or safely out the other side, I’m sure we can agree that the spectacle of failure can be delightful, but that it’s even better to see these students turn a FAIL into a WIN.
