Survey
For Geography homework once, we had to survey shoppers and put the results on a chart. After asking a load of people and generally being politely declined, I thought "Sod this" and went home, made a up a fairly believable spread of results and submitted it. Got a good mark too.

And they couldnt prove a thing Bwahahahahaha

I made up a bunch of results on my GCSE biology work
Mainly 'cos it involved measuring pulse rates and mine was weird (and also I couldn't be arsed).

Isn't this
what everyone does for every GCSE coursework involving "investigation"? It's usually this, or one person actually does it and everyone makes variations on his answers, or everyone does a tiny bit of work and combines it.

Maths was an exceptional joke: since you had to find the same formula, we just copied off the guy who worked it out first!

Did the exact same.
Geography, surveying shoppers. Except the shop we were meant to be surveying outside was also next to a pub, so not a single shopper was spoken to.

Pffft, surveys
Never trust a survey/statistic you haven't faked yourself, my father always said. 90 percent of all statistics are faked anyway...

You're
all bastards!

For many years geography teachers have been sending these results to various mega-companies for profit and so they can use targeted advertising, in return they gave money to buy exercise books and other classroom materials.

That's why all adverts are shite nowadays then!

Hell yeah
my GCSE geography class went to Cwmbran in south wales, we were taken to a crappy area and we were told to ask people what they thought of living in such a shit hole. Not wanting to be murdered I asked a few people & made the rest up.

Surprised you actually bothered trying to ask
I'd have just made up the results five minutes before the lesson.
