In my province, grade 12 students write the same exams across Alberta that are worth 50% of your total grade. They're totally mandatory, too. (If you do AP or IB you write both sets of exams.) I got to help grade these exams this year, for Social Studies, because I have a background in social sciences. There's a persuasive essay portion, and one kid I read totally argued against himself. In a persuasive essay you're supposed to present your side, a rebuttal, and then a final portion where you argue why your side beats the rebuttal. He did the first two parts really well and then the third part was so disjointed. It was like he forgot which side he was arguing and he was agreeing with the rebuttal hardcore. I felt really bad because it was like he had accidentally spliced together two papers that were really written well. He didn't include his outline but I assumed he wrote out two outlines for each side and rushed to the end without double checking which outline he was

Off topic but I made my college essay about my disdain for people who buttered their bagels as opposed to putting cream cheese on them. I just framed it in a way that it looked like I was talking about being homophobic and eventually learning how to be tolerant. I got accepted to every college I applied to.

When I took the AP gov exam I didn't know the answer to the question at the beginning so I wrote the first like 4 minutes of American pie by Don McLean because it was from the same time period the question was asking about. Then I remembered the answer so I skipped a line and wrote my answer. Don't know how that question got graded but I still got my college credit for it so it didn't hurt too much.

Not an ap teacher but one time I came back from the bathroom right before the exam started and all 30 people there had agreed upon me killing myself so they could pass the exam (some rule that if someone dies during the exam everyone passes). So that was fun.

One of my teachers from HS was an AP grader. He said the best answer he ever got was a very well drawn picture of a toilet with money being flushed down it.

"Obligatory "not a reader, but..." On my AP Calculus AB/BC test, there was a free response question regarding trains passing each other. I did the best I could then wrote "I hope these trains don't collide and wreck each other like calculus has wrecked my dreams. Please give me a 3 so I can get college credit. I just need a 3." It must have worked, I got a 5. "

When I took it I had to write about Nixon's presidency and Vietnam and tensions surrounding it... I literally wrote everything I knew from Forrest Gump (Black Panthers, Hippie movement, Vietnam protests, a house divided, watergate and how the government may not be the end-all be-all, Communism's rise and the red scare's effects from the previous decade, Cuban Missile Crisis, Space-race...) I got a 3 on the exam :( ... I've always wanted to know what I got on that essay though (our teacher said we'd only get maybe a multiple choice question after 1950 so we hadn't gone over that stuff...) If anyone here is an APUSH teacher or historian, how do you think an essay like that could work?

In the UK, my Computer Science teacher told me of some papers she'd graded where, because they were told not to leave and answer box blank, a student had written a short story throughout the paper.
