Not a clue. Over the course of four books in the F in Exams series (F in Exams, F for Effort!, F this Test, and F in Exams: Pop Quiz), Ive collected the very best, very wrong, hilariously real test answers from students whove faced down the unknown and come up with something better instead. Their answers may not have improved their grades, but they have turned the taking and failing of tests into a form of entertainment, for them and for us, and in this I contend they have made the world a better place. This Complete Failure Edition compiles all of the A+ wit misapplied to F- quiz results from across the series, adding nearly a hundred new entries, and so including a number of my new, all-time favorite answers (carbodehydrated indeed). Ive also compiled a recurring trivia element Ive called Stuff They Should Have Taught Us in School, featuring facts and tidbits Ive come across that in my opinion might keep and hold student attention and boost attendance and grades, should they be emphasized. You are welcome.

Whether you, dear reader, are still in school or safely out the other side, Im sure we can agree that the spectacle of failure can be delightful, but that its even better to see these students turn a FAIL into a WIN. I SCHOOL Use the words timorous and meander in a sentence. How are the mountain ranges conditions described in Touching the Void? Why did the Ancient Mariner kill the albatross?
