Stand Up
Sit Down
Don't talk, when they're talking.
Sit Straight
Don't slouch
They could still be watching.
Smile pretty
Even if it hurts
You never know when they are examining
Don't have fun
Don't be a fool
They don't allow any mistaking
Don't dress up
Don't look pretty
You never know who's judging
Don't be you
Don't act original
They only believe in copying
