Did you give the ACC exam last year?




Here, the word "give" sounds absurd. Is there some word(s) for replacement for give or maybe some word which is specially meant to be used for exam ?



Can you suggest a couple of such words?

          If you study for an exam, then sit down and answer the questions, then you are taking the exam. I’ve also heard “sit an exam”.



          If you write down exam questions, then hand them out to your students, then you are giving the exam.



          If you watch over students taking an exam, you are proctoring the exam.

          • Invigilate can also be used (in the same sense as proctor), especially in UK English.

          If by "give" you mean "handed out the exam and watched while the students took it" then it's perfectly idiomatic.




          Our History teacher gave us a pop quiz this morning, but I think I did OK.




          Otherwise you can say administer a test, although this is more formal, and more common with standardized, official tests (such as whatever the ACC is). You would not normally write a test you administer, but only oversee the testing process.



          Proctor similarly means to administer a test, although it usually is applied to the authorities in the room while the test is being taken. Someone who administers a test might manage the group of people who proctor that test.

                    One-line joke

                    A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
