What do you do when you're taking an exam and your nose starts to run?

This afternoon I was taking an exam when for no good reason my nose started to run profusely. I didn't have a handkerchief with me, and there was not a box of tissues in room. Knowing that the teacher would most likely fail me if I left the room, I resorted to using articles of clothing. And just to make matters worse, I got snot on the exam itself. :eek::eek:

Old thread revived for I don't know what reason.

Tilt your head back and let it roll down your throat...it's a wonderful snack, and should give you energy to finish the test. ;)

Use the answer sheet.

I don't think my nose has ever run so bad that it couldn't be contained with sniffling.

crush some paper and plug your nose with it. it's what I do at home, anyways. most of the time when I get uber-runny-nose, its during a lecture, so I just sit with my thumbs blocking the nostrils. if I push in and out, it makes this funny squishy noise, too. :)

Ask the teacher if you can have a tissue? If they fail you because you needed a tissue, I'd complain to somebody.

Go up to the Professor's desk and he'll/she'll give yuz a Kleenex because he can see that yer nose is spouting putrid mucus. After he gives it to ya turn around look at the front row's answers. Take yer time and you'll gits 100%!:D

cover a nostril with your finger and blow. Repeat for other nostril. Sure its gross and will sicken everyone in the room, but thats the teachers fault for not trusting you enough to get a tissue.

That happens to me all the time! My routine generally consists getting out my pencil and a bunch of Kleenex.

Be grody and disgusting, distract as many people as possible- they'll fail the exam but you can continue with pride ;)
