block exams; a modern-day method of torture developed by a panel of adults who believe that they know best. block exams consist of several subjects' exams in a row (maths, english, history etc.) with a break between each one. block exams last for anywhere between 2 days and 2 weeks, and usually cause mass stress and panic in students. social life is impossible during this time, as all student's free time will be spent trying to learn a whole semester's worth of work (of which half probably wont be needed anyway). most block exams start at the age of 16, although some mean-spirited schools will start at the young age of 15.
Teacher- ok students, in 2 weeks' time are BLOCK EXAMS
Students- *groan*

The state of perpetual tension (both mental and physical) that occurs right before, and during exam week. It results in students exhibiting strange behaviours or actions.
It can be classified as, the realisation that procrastination and masturbation have ruined your academic life.
Due to exam stress, individuals are allowed to get a away with things they otherwise wouldn't, as long as they say "sorry, it's exam stress".

Student 1: Shit! Shit! Shit! my exam is tomorrow, I'm not ready!
Student 2: LOL, I finished mine two days ago!
*Student 1 develops insomnia and proceeds to burn down the library.*
Policeman: Why did you do such a heinous deed?
Student 1: Exam stress, sir!
Policeman: Oh, that's fine then. Here's $20 for your troubles.

A typical right of passage, a cliche event that all would be lawyers must go through. Involves two months of unbelievably boring lectures, followed by spending the rest of the day studying in a law library or other similarly isolated and secluded environment. During this time, neuroses begin to surface such as increased nervousness, irritability, depression, despondency, etc... Behavioral defects also begin to arise such as exponentially increased drinking, smoking, nervous twitches, unwise relationship choices or sexual encounters (i.e. cheating), and possibly erratic, uncommon, or unorthodox behavior. Culminates in an extremely difficult two day exam, after which candidates must wait months to discover whether or not they actually passed.
"Man, what's gotten into that guy and that girl from the bar review course, all they do is make out in the law library while the rest of us are studying for the bar exam."
