    Just face the music - weaseling you way out of things is a terrible trait.

    So you didn't study, and now your trying to get out of your test. Now its been a while since I went to school but people don't get out of tests that easy.

    ;)

    Tell your mom that one of your teachers fingered you up the bum.

    Nothing like a bit of cramming. It's 4.15 on Sunday. Hit the books


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,723 ✭✭✭Cheap Thrills!


    Just go in and fail the tests. It doesn't really matter! :cool:

    You do realise that at some point they are probably going to make you take those tests regardless?

    However, at the same time, how long have you known about this exam for?

    I remember sitting on the top of my stairs with the landing light on at about 2 am, studying for an Irish test the next morning.

    Passed it :)

    Unless you're a weasel.

    OP - fake demonic possession is the way to go. Juts sit down to brekky, stare at the wall for five minites and say a line from any poem - doesn't matter which one - over and over again. Make sure it's a language you don#t speak (Irish should be fine) than go back up bed, still in the uniform. As soon as it's clear, "wake up" with no recollection of the morning. Easy:D.

    (unless your parents are Sunday World reading catholics, in whcih case, expect Max von sydow)

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Just go in. You won't be killed.

    This ^^

    With a caveat OP. Go in and do your best, this is all you can do. Never aim to fail, but if it happens don't beat yourself up about it, just make sure to do the work properly next time and learn your lesson! :)

    There's a lot of ways to get out of it OP, it's not that difficult. Make yourself sick - something that disgusts you, or some soap if it's handy. Abdominal pain - be careful though, if you end up in A&E they'll might fast track you for an appendicectomy. To avoid this pop out to the toilet and say you made a massive dump - then demonstrate how much better you feel. Complain of feeling light headed/dizzy/bad headache. Once you know your in the clear, drink lots of fluids - "I think I was dehydrated, I'm feeling a lot better since I got some fluid into me." So just use a bit of imagination and your sorted.

    Don't panic about school, it's a system which seriously needs updating. How a 13, 14, or 15 year is expected to decide on what they want to do for the rest of their lives is beyond me. You might be doing subjects which you regret picking. But don't lose focus on the core subjects like Maths, English, science subject ect. Just remember to keep on top of things for the future, that will avoid a repeat of where you now find yourself.

    Do kids not go mitching these days?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,055 ✭✭✭WallyGUFC


    Grow a pair of balls and fail for once in your life! Failing that, just tell your auld pair you bet the bishop a bit too hard.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,244 ✭✭✭sdanseo


    Just go in. Mitch off once and you'll make a habit of it - I did that and regretted it ever since.

    GET YOUR ASS INTO SCHOOL even if you fail.

    Pretend to be sick. Get some ashes, rub them under your eyes and moan until your parents give in.

    Pull a Feeky Magee and sexually harass the teacher before the test, you'll be sent home fairly sharpish.

    Just go in and fail, and fail spectacularly, spell your name wrong on the test sheet, draw pictures, the more boobs the better, maybe eat some of the test paper. The teachers will think you're mental and get you tested for ADD.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,018 ✭✭✭Mike 1972

    It a test. Its not an actual exam. Five years months weeks from now it wont count for jack $h1t and its highly likely you wont even remember it.

    Hit the books tonight (if you havent already done so) but dont stress yourself out worrying about it. Although be more dilligent about studying in the future.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,081 ✭✭✭ollie1


    Why dont you just study now? its only 7 O'Clock


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,779 ✭✭✭up for anything


    The poor kid! If most of the posters replying to this thread were all put into one class you'd be a teacher's nightmare because they could never decide which one of you to appoint teacher's pet. There would have to be a rota. :rolleyes:

    OP, clutch your stomach and start crying. It shouldn't be the hardest thing in the world to squeeze out a few tears - just think about failing the tests miserably. One good way to convince parents you're really sick is to wake them up at 4.00am crying and saying you are in pain. Sets the groundwork for the morning. :D

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,127 ✭✭✭✭Leeg17


    Go in, try the tests.

    If you fail, study more.
    If you pass barely, study more.

    Learn a lesson from this.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,068 ✭✭✭StereoLove


    Pretending to be sick always worked for me. Or you could say you feel very down in the dumps for some reason

    Get off the net and start studying.A good eye-opener-actions have consequences...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17 dubpunter


    Take the test. Do some cramming, It's actually quite hard to fail.

    Grow some balls, if you fail you fail. It's not like they'll prevent you going to university.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,243 ✭✭✭kelle


    Poor OP must be studying like crazy since he posted it - he didn't come back to us!

    Actually, it is your fault. Good luck to you in life . With that level of laziness, lack of discipline and responsibility, you're going to need all the luck you can get.

    Wow. Harsh!
    Why doesn't the OP just not go and spend the day in town or something?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,971 ✭✭✭we'llallhavetea_old
