THIS IS A BLANK PAGE

[Holofoil]

Ok, I'm fine with exams. But the one thing that REALLY patronizes me is all the stupid things they write in the papers -

This is a blank page - No **** Einstein

Turn page over - Yes, that's what I plan on doing thanks

There are no questions on this page - I AM NOT BLIND

This is the back of the exam paper - Oh I thought it was the front

Agree?

Mmk some people have no common sense so the 'Turn page over' I think is good to have but the rest are a bit stupid, so I agree to some extent.

[Meticulous]

Lmao. That's really annoying :P
I just did my SAT's. And on monday we did these weird tests that were like. Testing something for next year or something. And about three pages all said 'THIS PAGE HAS NO QUESTIONS ON IT'
Agree. It's a waste of paper.Why do they even print those pages?

[luke-p]

Hmm true, but some people could be really stupid :)

The pages have to be there, im sure you know that, they print on them I think so people 100% know there isnt a question ment to be there, like stops people wondering if the ink ran out or something :P

Exactly, you're on a Bio paper about HOW CAN WE HELP STOP GREENHOUSE GASES?

My reply - MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T WASTE 4 A4 PIECES OF PAPER PER EXAM PAPER SAYING "THIS IS A BLANK PAGE"

[Meticulous]

Wellll..
Can't they just print the questions in a different way so that they don't need the last pages on the end instead of having to write on them? Or maybe they could make more questions so they use the pages on the end?

[Eamonn]

They could just put under the last questions:
THIS IS THE LAST QUESTION.

i toally agree

[Pawf]

They do serve a purpose. In order to make the booklet fit together properly they need to add extra pages. If there were three blank pages at the end of your exam paper wouldn't you be worried?

[Roboevil]

You'll be surprised at how ******* people can be in any year. I know people in my friend's English class, studying at A level, who don't know the differences between 'their,' 'there' and 'they're,' I also know someone at the same age who didn't even know the latter even existed.

[beth]

in exams, i actually circle "this is a blank page" and put "with the addition of this sentence, this page isn't actually blank."

[Shawnstra]

Most people know. It is just to prevent arguments. Like "oh I am I supposed to know"

[kerychuk]

This seems idiotic to us because we keep seeing it but its a good idea because your head might not be there and when you see "turn the page over" on the bottom of a page they will follow instuructions. Schools are just trying to get us to follow what they want so they put things like that on the exams.

Sorry for the rant

THIS IS A BLANK POST.
























Seriously though, it annoys me.

[Jamesy]

i like them, then you can write sarcastic comments all over them :D

[Kissed]

In my GCSE PE exam I wrote loads of acronyms(?) on one of the blank pages to help me.
and after the exam I got told that you need to cross absolutely everything out that doesn't need to be marked, my teacher crossed them out for me + had a stress cos apparently your not supposed to write on the blank pages?
WTH ARE THEY THERE FOR?!

[indian8132]

LMAO! I had german test it was like "Now, turn over the page" and "End of exam" and "Blank page" and i mean, now they wrote blank page on it technically it aint blank :)

[today]

love to waste paper xox

[Hecktix]

no they do need to point out the obvious.
the amount of people who miss out a question or two because they see a blank page and think it's the end of the exam is unbelievable.

also; they do come in handy.

You can't take notes into your exam, but you can take thoughts in, if you dont want them all swimming around in your head, write them on the blank pages...

[today]

we got told never to write on the blank pages.

ergh :\

[Hecktix]

as long as its not defacing them, or writing random crap its ok.

Like I wrote down all the formulae I might need for my physics exam on the back page.

Apparently examiners like initiative.

[today]

Well my exam board talk aload of rubbish.

Damn them. =@

[Ashley 12344]

Stupid, and they could reduce waste.

In writing THIS IS A BLANK PAGE it isn't. On all my mocks I went through writing sarcastic comments, but not in the proper ones. The margins annoy me too, I wrote in them loads (only like a letter) if I ran out of page :P

[Xarea]

On 'THIS IS A BLANK PAGE', I write 'No it's not, it has text on it'.

lol

[Neversoft]

Rofl! 'This is the back of the exam paper - Oh I thought it was the front' :P That made me laugh. :D +rep

I remember my friend going on about this ages ago. Complaining that the blank pages were not actually blank at all. :P

You failed then, paper production and printing has very little to do with greenhouse gases.

ye. i was confused by the relationship of greenhouse gases & paper reduction.

ahaha.

Not directly no. Indirectly, yes.

Paper goes in to the bin after use. Which gets driven to land fill sites. The more waste like that, the more energy used to transport it around. So more greenhouse gases released to get that energy. Ye, it only has a tiny affect, but global warming is caused by loads of tiny affects. There is nothing that single handedly causes it.
