Mr. Bean attends a mathematics exam and he begins to irritate a fellow candidate (Paul Bown) by getting out an alarm clock, many spare pens and a number of mascots, including a Pink Panther doll. Bean has studied trigonometry, but when he pulls out a calculus paper from the envelope he assumes he has studied the wrong subject. He spends the duration of his two hours trying to cheat before finally breaking down (to the point of crying out "Oh, mummy!") and falling asleep. Towards the end of the exam, the invigilator (Rudolph Walker) gives instructions on what to do with the exam papers. From this, Bean realises that there were two papers in the envelope: a green calculus paper, and a white trigonometry paper, with the student given a choice as to which to do (though the invigilator logically should have stated this from the start). He tries to complete the paper in a hurried fashion, even snatching the pen from the other candidate.
