A few of them* My biology A-level involved a project which I was meant to work on over the summer. Needless to say I didn't and ended up making the whole thing up in one day, complete with fake statistics. I got a B.
* At college I ended up going back for some weeks in the summer to retake my exams. The accomodation was being used by a load of 16-17 year old music students on some kind of summer music camp. We use to sit round with them and regale them with our tales of maturity (we had at least 2 years of life experience more than them :-).
One of the girls started rattling on about how her mum was a medium and could speak to the dead, and brought out a Ouija board. I thought this was a wonderful opportunity...to cut things short, I pretended to be possessed by the spirit of Aleister Crowley, complete with shaking, foaming at the mouth etc. The result was around 20 very freaked out people..including, sadly, one of my college friends who only sussed two years later when I was telling the story in the pub.

I made up an entire bookto help me prove a point in an English exam. I got a B, so I'm guessing that the marker either:
a)didn't notice
b)or had read the same imaginary books as me
(a)didn't notice
b)or had read the same imaginary books as me

In My English SATSat the age of 14 we had to write a story. Can'/t remember exactly what it had to be about, but i'd just finished reading a book of short stories by Stephen King. One of the stories that had stuck in my memory was called The Mist and was about a bunch of people in Maine being stuck in a supermarket when a strange mist rolls in and if it touches them they die (you may have seen the two part film of it). Well I basically re-wrote it, without changing the general content, made it shorter and called it 'The Fog'. I got 100%.
