30 Wild Answers Given on AP Tests

Smart kids are jokesters too — at least, according to these AP test answers. One high schooler took the AP English Literature exam and “made up” a play by Tennessee Williams when asked to critique a body of work. I mean, this student fully made it up. The plot, characters and symbolism were all fabricated, and they got a five on the exam. Apparently, Williams’ work isn’t as well known as we think, and the grader, likely trying to save face, just assumed the student knew their stuff. 

Other Redditors have revealed the bizarre, hilarious or unbelievable answers they saw or gave on an AP test, and everyone should get at least one point for good trolling.

7y ago It wasn't for the AP but for the British Columbia grade 12 English provincial exam. There was one example provided to us as students that had scored a 1/6 (essentially a complete fail.) Now, bless this person's heart because English clearly wasn't their first language, but one line that stood out was: When Truth and Lie is fight... Truth is always win. In the end. It's been a decade since that class but it's burned into my memory. + 2K ...
gbthrowawayacc 6y ago My teacher for the Environmental Science exam grades. She said one time there was a question (I forgot what it was) but long story short, feces was one of the many correct answers to it. One student wrote stupid shit on the line. My teacher had to go up to her supervisor, who went up to their supervisor (yes, this went up two levels!), because they were unsure if the student deserved a point. After some debating, they decided that it was impossible to tell if he wrote shit because he wasn't trying, or if he actually
7y ago Obligatory not an AP grader but I had a friend who took the AP English Lit exam and completely made up a play written by Tennessee Williams. Made up the plot, the characters, the symbolism, everything, and got a 5 on the exam. Apparently Williams was so prolific and disorganized that people aren't totally sure about his full body of work or something? So the grader probably just thought that was one they hadn't heard of and wanted to save face. Also, fun fact, anything that you write and then strikethrough is not allowed to be graded. Apparently
