I think it was very unserious and immature of you to have done that. When you get into the university, be more serious and mature cos such joke could cost you a rosy university journey.
If you do that in a particular course, a lecturer could take on it and ensure you fail every course he teaches.
In the medical academia, there is something we call a veto fail, it's for instances like this.
A lecturer /consultant can give you a veto fail in a subset of one course, which means whatever you score in other subsets do not matter, you would fail the entire course. The implication is that you cannot advance beyond that stage of your academics until you pass the failed course.
embarassed this is such a cold world




But I still think that the fact that I cancelled the joke makes me immune to all forms of veto fail


And its still not fair on the student's side

Since you have crossed out the "joke", I'd guess the examiner didn't award you any score on it. And may be it got the examiner upset because s/he might fall in the category of people with mouth-odour.

Are you sure the questions you answered correctly are worth more than a D7?
I didnt get a d7 in maths,english,further maths, book keeping econs nd geography. Its now civic education ill get a d in


They are worth more dan a d7 oo

Op don't ever try it again. This is 9ja were in some sectors like Edu, they wonkoko mo whats very trivial i e, were they take seriously Wat they shouldn't. My room mate was forming ITK for a certain physics exam. After answering every question dopely, he wrote to the lecturer, "your no 5 question is wrong, the parameter should be so and so". The rest they say is history. grin

But I cancelled the joke. I still don't deserve to fail upon all this

let me answer by asking this

Is it wrong for an examiner to jokingly mark you wrong for putting a joke in your answers when writing your exam

You nearly collapsed but you weren't pained, really?
If you see obama @ your doorstep, wont you nearly collapse. And that doesn't mean u r pained. Does it?
To answer your question... something is wrong with you!
If you were my brother (though no brother of mine can be this foolish), i would have slapped stupidity out of you!

You were joking when answering a question?
Did you see any joke in the textbook you read for the exam?

Nansense!

Its not a question of writing from textbook. Its a question of a personal opinion. I neatly crossed out the joke.
' in mc hammers voice '. Cant touch me. Dan dan dan dan






There is nothing wrong with me btw. I still dont see how I am foolish for what I did

Before you proceed. Pls know that i am not joking at all, I am being 100% honest.

So, when I was writing my waec. Civic examination, it was too easy. So,i decided to joke around a little bit. Since I was confident that I could not fail. I went to the answers to the question that said something like ' List 5 civic problems in nigeria '.
I wrote 2 actual civic problems, I dont remember what i wrote. Then I wrote mouth odour then I wrote another problem.
Below that I wrote " 'pricing' of goods In the market" and I wrote another problem

I made sure I crossed out the points on mouth odour and pricing like this
But it was still very obvious. Thats how I wanted it to be
I just pitied d person dat will mark the script I know marking is very stressful and I wanted him/her to smile a little and cheer up.



It was Time to check my result. I passed very well. 2a's 5b's 1c. I saw d7 in front of civic education. I wanted to collapse. I was like wtf, someone cannot play with you people again. I wasnt pained. I dont understand how i can fail a subject as useless and easy as civic




And dont tell me I didnt answer it well. My worst case scenario was meant to be a b3. I know what i wrote

My fellow nairalanders, Pls tell me... was i wrong for what i did??

Whats the joke about pricing of goods in the market? You realise the word "pricing" is an economic term? I will simply assume you dont know the answer if i was the lecturer and therfore won't see any joke.

You should be smart enough to know that not everyone find everything funny, some people are strict and serious
I used parentheses. The marker should under stand my point


You should be smart enough to know that not everyone find everything funny, some people are strict and serious
And some are ecstatic and joyful

Don't do it again! There is a time for everything---exam isn't a joke so u dnt take it as such. Pple r different, not everyone ll see wat u meant as a joke, to be a joke. Dnt take ds attitude of yours into the university, it wnt be easy for u if u do. Its good to be confident dear but dnt end up been corky, learn to keep things in the right perspective.
Thank you for the advice. But, doesn't the fact that I crossed the joke out change everything?

brainhgeek:
next time do not do it. you never could tell the state of mind of the person to mark your script. might sound good to you but not funny to him.
however, it was wrong for the marker to fail you for those parts you got correctly except you thought you were right and the marking scheme told a different story.
You are very right. Thanks

You are a fool for joking in your examination; what to do is finish answering the questions and then joke; as a matter of fact examiners are not moved by those things.


Ok, thank you. But next time use lighter words. You never can tell if someone is suicidal

If u think it's not wrong u should ve added d joke in ur maths and English



Like I said. I only did that because of the extra time. It was boring and lonesome. I was too occupied when writing my maths and english


But, please tell me. What exactly is wrong with what I did.
I crossed out the joke. So nothing should happen

I've marked waec several times & most of it is scheming marking inorder to be fast.. Xo once u get a slight impression dt a candidate doesn't know wat his writing.. U don't bother reading much..
Thats not fair at all

That's not funny. You should have left your name out and just write your phone number. The marker would have funnily called to ask for your name.

My name is on the front page of the answer sheet.



The marker should find me on Facebook

What'so funny about the exam that you started writing comedy in your scriptnever should you try that again ,it's a different case when you are familiar with d teacher dah would mark your script and it's another thing entirely when you have no idea on who is going to mark ur script....oversabi,mtcheew
I know it is oversabi. The thing that bothers me is that I crossed out the joke. I cancelled it.
So why should the marker fail me

@Op, the examiner had mercy on you by giving you D7. If it were me, I would award you F9. How can you joke with your future? Huh?
undecided. F9. I will trace you to your house and you will receive the beating that you have never received before in your life.





I didnt joke with my future. I cancelled it. The marker should have been responsible and ignored it
