Before an exam begins, Mr. Bean finds himself sitting next to a fellow student and asks him if he did his revision, to which the student says that he has studied calculus. Bean replies that he has been concentrating on trigonometry and that he believes calculus was the focus of the test last year, rendering the other student worried while Bean snickers to himself for deceiving him. The invigilator announces that the exam will start in one minute. During that time, Bean prepares himself by getting out many pens, as well as a Pink Panther doll. The exam starts and Bean panics when he takes a calculus paper out of the envelope (as he had not studied calculus at all). He gradually becomes frustrated and has no idea how to complete it, so he resorts to spending most of the exam time trying to cheat and copy the other student's work, but each attempt fails. Eventually, Bean gives up and places his head on the desk and sleeps for the remainder of the exam. One minute before the end, the invigilator gives instructions on what to do with the papers once the exam is over. Only then Bean learns that there were two papers in the envelope - a green calculus paper and a pink trigonometry paper, with each student given a choice as to which to do. Bean takes out the trigonometry paper and frantically tries to complete it hurriedly, but his pen has run out of ink and won't write anything, so he steals the other student's pen (forgetting about the many spares he came prepared with). Unfortunately, the exam is already over and the invigilator tells the students to stop writing. But Bean is determined to finish the exam and continues, and he finally stops when the invigilator furiously yells "WILL YOU STOP WRITING?!" for the third time.
