Description
F in Exams: The Best Test Paper Blunders by Richard Benson is a delightfully funny and endlessly quotable collection of the most hilariously wrong, misguided, and absurd answers ever given by students in real exams. This best-selling humor book captures those moments where panic, confusion, or sheer cheek turns a test question into comedy gold—proving that failure can be far more entertaining than success.
Spanning subjects like math, science, English, history, geography, and more, Benson’s compilation includes everything from the laughably literal to the wildly imaginative. Each page features actual exam questions followed by answers so wrong they’re right—whether it’s a student answering “What is the fibula?” with “A little lie,” or identifying the meaning of “Caesar’s last words” as “He was stabbed on the Ides of March and it really hurt.”
The structure of the book is simple and easy to dip in and out of, making it ideal for quick laughs or light reading. It’s also wonderfully giftable—perfect for teachers, students (especially those about to take exams), trivia lovers, or anyone who appreciates a good dose of unintentional comedy. Benson’s tone is warm and celebratory, never mocking—he clearly delights in the creativity behind even the most ridiculous responses.
What makes F in Exams more than just a joke book is its unexpected cleverness. Many of the answers, while incorrect, reveal lateral thinking, clever wordplay, and a surprising sense of humor under pressure. You’ll find yourself laughing, cringing, and sometimes even admiring the warped logic at play.
Whether you’re looking to lighten the mood before a big test, cheer up a stressed-out student, or just enjoy the comedy of academic chaos, F in Exams delivers a guaranteed laugh. It’s a humorous reminder that it’s okay to get things wrong—and that sometimes, the best answers are the unexpected ones.
