A recent book highlights some of the less than reassuring exam answers given by UK schoolchildren.
With apologies to Malaysians…
The UK has long enjoyed neurosis over the dire quality of its public schooling, for good reason it seems. The book is available now.

Oh, God. I loled very hard.
FOR THESE ANSWERS AND MANY MORE CHECK OUT
"HORRIBLE HISTORY" ON YOUTUBE...lol
triti
why was one of the tags 'schoolgirls', thats very misleading. still, good shit, the 'you might walk into the telephone mast' one was damn funny.
I hadn't noticed the school girls thing, that's almost as clever as some of the test answers.
"by placing a number of big dames into the river"
wasnt there JUST an article on Fat Princess?
The amount of tests for preperation for final exams we get are rediculous so a few people just get sick of it and have some fun with it.
My answer to "Contrast and compare The knights tale and the millers tale." was three pages of normal writing and a drawing of a giant robot piloted by the miller fighting the knight between the pages.
i meant "in their own way most answers we`re correct". My sloppy spelling... shoot me if you want.
Ps3 sucks.
Some of these are oh so very correct.
I was taking an IQ test recently during a psychological exam and I had to fight the urge to not answer some of the questions this way.
Why is the soil so fertile?
Because of all the micro orgasms.
This news shouldnt' be here.
They aren't even written in hiragana.
Malays don't come from any country... they originate from Malaysia. People from Malaysia are called Malaysians anyway, not Malay. They do, however, speak Malay
wanna bet not all malaysian know how to speak malay?
I don't, so hah!
LOL UK Schooling XDDD
LMAO! This reminds me of when I was back in college.
One girl in one of my gym classes thought that Manual Labor was the Communist Leader of Cuba. XDDD
I shudder to think where the world is headed with bright lights such as these making their way through the educational systems all over the world.
jajajaja good theme!!!
Most answers are absolutely correct. Math ones should have been calculated, but... i a way they we`re correct anyway.
i meant "in their own way most answers we`re correct". My sloppy always spelling... shoot me if you want.
Is this sankaku?
Welcome.
No, this is Patrick.
While I can't fault the given answer to the question "What did Mahatma Gandhi and Genghis Khan have in common?", I am curious to know what the expected answer was.
They're both dead and asian, for one.
They were both leaders of their respective countries. Mahatma Gandhi was the leader of India and Genghis Khan was the leader of Mongolia.
they're both dead people in history books
This isn't very far from the truth lol. Some people do it for lulz...seriously...ahh good times in my Business Studies exam...I didn't know the answer for a question so I wrote 'Batman will save us' and 'Pie' for another...why not? If you really don't know it, answer with a stupid answer for fun. Though I won't deny some seriously think that those above are the answer for reals. Most teachers now just train kids for exams rather than actually teach them anything. But then it makes you wonder whether the kid who just threw a stanley knife at the board where the teacher stands is a lost cause...Shitty parents=shitty kids.
The education system here is a joke. Is this so surprising as to why UK has criminalized prostitution, banned loli/shota, got us in debt with the banks etc...But it was inevtiable when you have moral advocates and religious facists in power. Majority of the Lords are devout Christians or Catholics and supported by Christian Organization. The Commons? Just the same. Mordern Warfare 2 has been under fire ever since it came out...Wow now that I look at it I'm fairly stumped. Are us Brits just gettin more stupid by the year? Looking at the past 7 years and these incriminating legislations being churned out at the speed of light...It seems all too true. If we're not ruled by facists it's moralfags...or both. Welcome to 1984 and Animal Farm.
The names and the Birmingham ones were the best!
WTF, is totally funny, is still better in ENG, if in BM(Bahasa Malaysia) Malaysia's country language, is more funny is anyone knows BM. But i think is some people plan to share these kind of stupid things and come up with these kind of answers. xD
Dood, these answers were taken from British exam papers, why you're expecting any Malay language here?
lol i guess allot of UK people go on this site,
if this was results for the US i wonder how many people would say fail and not think it was "creative"
It was funny though
God damn it I lawl'd xD
Kids sure do say the darndest things.
Seriously though, this article is lulz. If I was grading some of these, I would give them 100% just for being creative.
okay, the last one was fantastic! XD I'm Malaysian and I find it hilarious!
me too!
XDXDXD
I would like to go to Malaria some day.
I haven't ROFL'd that hard in a while. This is by far one of the best articles I've ever read on this site.
This is because rather than reading school books, those lifeless kids would rather read Stephenie Meyer's crapload of bullshit known as Twilight or watch Twilight movies.
*pokes New Moon*
This entry is so timely, Sankaku. Soooo very timely!
Cracked up laughing at this. Especially the Romans one, reminds me of Monty Python "What have the Romans ever done for us?"
British education is in such a sad state that now only one in five students are in the top 20% education bracket.
They were obviously trolling... Maybe, just maybe, they were just way too smart and looked down on the rest of their peers? Maybe there were a little cynical? Maybe they didn't give a shit about exams? Maybe the UK's school system's failing-wait a minute...
By the way, are these elementary school exams? I'm not familiar with the UK's educational curriculum.
Fantastically funny! British humor lives.
dude, this is almost as old as the internet
I think they should get credit for being witty and original! I've seen some bad answers before, and these aren't bad.
Not only that they fail at smiles, they fail academically...
The one thing they don't seem to fail at is to stab each other...
Funny thing that two of the top universities in the world are in the UK (Oxford and Cambridge).
Question: What is a vibration?
Answer: There are good vibrations and bad vibrations. Good vibrations were discovered in the 1960s.
That one broke my laugh box.
I've only seen the expand one before. Some of these were pretty funny but others were meh.
People in UK are so dumb! That's dumber than the stupid jokes you get from Filipinos or Vietnamese....
oh my fucking god
epic..to the nth degree
Didn't know there were plenty of Malaysians surfing Sankaku before I came across this page :P
*flies off to spread Malaria*
we do it in private~
lol
