High performing high school students around the country are taking Advanced Placement tests around now, which will be graded by more than 11,000 participating teachers and college faculty.
Of course, not all of the test responses are brilliant, at least not in the conventional sense.
A recent Reddit thread asked AP Graders to name the "the most ridiculous thing you have ever read on a test you were grading."
The thread has received more than 5,000 comments, mostly from students, not AP graders. Some say they drew funny images, others rambled nonsensically, and many mastered the art of BS. We've compiled some of the most interesting comments here.
Drawing a picture of Godzilla and King Kong attacking the College Board building.
"My comparative government teacher told me about the essay that contained no words — just a picture of Godzilla and King Kong attacking the College Board building."
Writing a one-line essay about the Enlightenment.
"My AP European history teacher told us that one year, the essay was on Enlightenment thinkers. One student wrote, 'The Enlightenment had many great thinkers, none of which come to mind currently.' And nothing else."
Recounting Bruce Wayne's coming-of-age.
"I just took the AP literature test today and wrote a beautiful essay on the upbringing of Bruce Wayne and how he morally matured to become Batman. I hope it gets a 9 for creativity."
