    Some people say they are writing an exam. I'm AMERICAN,
    and it sounds foreign to me. Is that a britishism? Are
    those saying they will write an exam from INDIA?

    As a Canadian I hear both, but "taking" an exam sounds like your going to
    grab it and walk away with it. I'd rather put pen to paper and "write" an
    exam.

    I thought the British term was "sitting" and exam. Beats standing, I guess.

    In America, a 'sitting' exam is performed by a
    proctologist!
