This is really funny and it happened when I was taking course 1 this May, and I'm sure I won't see this on courses 3 and 4. About 3 guys showed up late, after proctor read all the rules and procedures, they looked sleepy and weren't even aware of the standards of conducts during exams. I'm sure they had a few shots the night before, some of us just laughed and the proctor had a few head shakes (he's also the math professor at the U and they're probably his students).
It makes me wonder, do they really think they can do better on exam when they're not sober? Anyone else seen this during your exam?

One girl came into the room for course one with nothing but a pink gel pen. No admission ticket, no calculator, no pencil, no eraser... not even like a black or blue pen... but a pink gel pen, that's it. I couldn't beleive that someone could possibly be that naive and actually expect to pass an actuarial exam.

A friend of mine did this on 110. He did not have a calcultor because it seemed too much of an expence for him, so he just used Taylor's series for calculating all the e^x and lnx that were on that exam. I don't know about pencils, but i am pretty much sure he did not have an eraser. And yes, he did pass it.
May be that pink gel pen is her good luck charm :D

Hey...I wouldn't chastize her too much...she may have been the team player that helped you score that 10. ;)

There's a testing thread in the 'Make a suggestion or report a problem here' area.
