A particularly long and evil type of exam set by evil exam boards. Often involves an amalgam of EVERYTHING you've ever learned in a particular subject. Otherwise knows as IL DIABOLO!
"Let's set them a paper that is 3 hours long, tests them on all the English Skills they've ever learnt, and is full of unseen material. But hey, let's put some blackadder in just to make it fun."
