This is a relatable student meme. The top section has text reading 'Shakespeare entering my body as soon as I see \'explain in your own words\' in exam' paired with a graphic of a glowing floating disembodied spirit. The lower section has two adjacent visuals: on the left is the classic historical portrait of William Shakespeare, on the right is a first-person perspective shot of a hand holding a pen writing on a brightly lit exam paper.

The text at the top of the meme reads 'when its your group chance to do presentation but none of your group member prepared anything (including you)'.

This is a relatable student meme split into two sections: top text describing an internal monologue, and a cartoon scene below. The top text reads 'Me : i have exams' followed by 'My brain : then fucking act like it'. The image below is a scene from the animated show SpongeBob SquarePants, where an angry, frustrated SpongeBob leans over Squidward who is lying in bed, yelling aggressively at him. The joke draws a parallel between SpongeBob yelling at Squidward and a person's own brain angrily criticizing them for procrastinating instead of studying for upcoming exams, a very common experience for students during exam season.

This is a two-panel comparative meme utilizing the widely popular Gus Fring (from the Breaking Bad franchise) happy vs serious reaction template. The left panel is labeled 'Biology majors looking at bugs all day', paired with the character's cheerful, smiling expression, referencing that biology students study real insect bugs which are generally interesting and enjoyable for them. The right panel is labeled 'Computer Science majors looking at bugs all day', paired with the character's deadpan, unamused, serious expression, referencing that 'bugs' for computer science students refer to frustrating software glitches and coding errors that require tedious fixing. The core joke relies on the double meaning of the word 'bugs' in English.

This meme uses a two-part comparison to joke about the common student experience of class material being far clearer and simpler than exam content. The top section is labeled 'What they teach in class:' and features a brightly colored, clearly illustrated animal cell diagram, with all parts labeled with absurd, incorrect, food or random object names including pasta, eyeball, fishball membrane, lime, coral, cabbage, pickled ginger, pepper, matcha, orange peel, and strands of hair, with the only correct line being the ubiquitous meme phrase 'mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell'. The bottom section is labeled 'What they give us on the exam paper:' and shows a completely black, featureless, unlabeled silhouette of a cell with no distinguishable parts, exaggerating how unreadable and difficult exam diagrams feel to students.

This is a three-panel comparison meme that uses images of actor Christian Bale (who is famous for dramatic appearance changes for different film roles) to show the full progression of getting a haircut. The top panel shows Bale with long wavy hair, labeled 'Before the haircut'. The middle panel shows Bale with shorter trimmed hair on top but a mullet still left at the back, labeled 'Somewhere in between the haircut'. The bottom panel shows Bale with a very short buzz cut, labeled 'After the haircut'.

This is a reaction meme split into two parts: top text that reads 'When the exam is so hard you're learning new things by reading the questions', placed above a close-up shot of the character Hank Schrader from the TV series Breaking Bad. Hank has a stunned, bewildered, slightly shocked expression with his mouth slightly agape and wide eyes, perfectly capturing the feeling of disbelief when a test taker encounters exam questions covering content they have never studied before, to the point that the questions themselves are introducing entirely new information during the exam.

The woman on the left wears a red top with the text overlay 'SCROLLING THROUGH REDDIT FOR 5 HOURS', while the woman on the right wears a blue top labeled 'STUDYING'.
