More types of tests:

find-n-grind (you are allowed to use a formula sheet)
drunk-n-flunk (obvious)
try-n-die ("Maybe you are clueless, but give it that old college try")
try-n-cry (same as above, but not as bad)
joke-n-choke ("It'll be a piece of cake, hee hee")
wail-n-fail ("I wailed on that test, in fact, I think I aced it")
race-n-ace (the test is so trivial, you are racing to be the first done)
