Being the hard-working, dedicated student that you are, it is inevitable that you will endure more than your fair share of exams. These are the types of people that are present in any exam setting.

1. The Chomper.

What’s that strange noise coming from the corner? It’s The Chomper, opening a bag of carrots and/or celery and proceeding to chomp on them throughout the entirety of the exam. By simultaneously distracting the class and causing their stomachs to growl, The Chomper effectively eliminates anyone else’s ability to focus for the duration of the test.

2. The Meticulous Bubbler.

The Meticulous Bubbler probably never colored outside of the lines as a kid, thus developing into the most obsessively exact bubbler possible. They’re one step away from using a stencil and a magnifying glass to ensure maximum bubbling precision, aided by their arsenal of brand-new pencils, their Pentel Hi-Polymer Latex Free Eraser, and their personal pencil sharpener.

3. The Pep-Talker

The Pep-Talker is like the little voice in your head. Actually, they are the voice in everyone's head, because they are whispering to themselves throughout the exam. Glad to hear you've got this, Pep-Talker, but I still have twenty questions to go and you're distracting as hell.

4. The Effortless Genius

The Effortless Genius likely waltzed into your exam with a superiority complex that hit the rest of the class like a brick. You probably lent them a pencil because they forgot theirs, and you haven’t seen them all semester due to their lack of attendance. But somehow they always, always pass with flying colors, because that is how the Effortless Genius do.

5. The Cheater

Every student has seen a Cheater in their lifetime. Some Cheaters are subtle and go unnoticed. Others probably spent several hours writing the entire answer key on their forearm, or are otherwise craning their necks in a feigned back-cracking position to steal a glance at their neighbor’s work. Either way they are received with a great deal of annoyance by everyone else.

6. The Anti-Cheater

The Anti-Cheater is sometimes seen in companion with the Cheater, but most often just exists in their own personal bubble of paranoia. Their nose is practically pressed to the paper, accompanied by classic forearm positioning to shield their work from potential onlookers. And, like the Cheater, the Anti-Cheater is received with annoyance as well.

7. The Second-Guesser

Finally, the exam is over! As you rise to leave, the Second-Guesser’s voice can be heard over all the rest. “What did you get for number 32? I put A but now I think it was C!” If a Second-Guesser initiated contact with you, you probably endured a long walk back during which you mulled over every single question. As the Second-Guesser texted everyone they know, looking for validation, you were left with a vague feeling of confusion and hopelessness.
