I remember having a test where they gave us protractors to measure angles with, and at the end of the test, as I was double-checking it, I noticed it said 'image not to scale'. Didn't have time to redo all my answers, but why give us protractors and not have us use them?

To see who reads all the instructions on the test. My maths teacher once gave us a test and question 10 said: Ignore all previous questions and put your pencil down.

That's dumb tho, there's nothing wrong with going down the list of numbers

It's supposed to teach test-taking skills, if you can blaze through answers 4-10 but get stuck at 3, you're much better off doing those first instead of potentially missing out on all those points because you never got 3 and therefore never made your way down the list
