Turn your papers over, roll up your sleeves and hope that the cunning revision notes you'd tattooed onto your forearms in biro haven't smeared themselves into illegibility. This week we're joined by stand-up comedian, burlesque performer, lawyer and infuriated dancer Sikisa to talk about the world's worst examinations. We travel from the dreaming spires of Oxford to the elite butlering colleges of Amsterdam, via the Japanese underworld and performing arts schools everywhere. Tea trays on your head, white gloves on and 5, 6, 7, 8...
