Following the books F In Exams and F For Effort, the book F This Test is about funny test answers to questions about simple academic subjects.

These subjects include English, Science, Psychology and Sociology, Performing Arts, History, Math and Economics, and Geography.

Created by Richard Benson in 2014, this book was based off of real test answers from students. Benson is an author, a journalist, and a critic.

An example of the kind of hilarity one can expect from this book comes from the English section: “Why should an author keep their audience in mind?” The answer is, “Because if they kept them in real life that would be kidnapping.”

Another example from the Science section includes: “Explain the process of thermal energy transfer.” The answer is, “Cuddles!”

The book is unique because the answers to the questions were written in, with all answers being in different handwriting. In some answers, pictures are drawn to describe an answer, or just used as a fun detail.

Honestly, after reading the third book, I would love to read the other two books. This book was hilarious. Richard Benson sure has a great sense of humor.
