SCP Foundation

Hello! I currently have a rough but interesting idea for an SCP: a final exam that generates itself within a university, and tricks students into taking it, recreating that bad dream I think we all have had at some point of taking an exam on a subject you know nothing about.

At first I was thinking that this class would alter records and memories to trick people into thinking this class already existed, but I think this might be too overpowered to make for a good SCP. Perhaps the professor administering the final simply has a cognitohazardous field that makes students think this, but I'm not sure what his motive would be.

I also want to incorporate some kind of nightmarish element into the exam, even though exams are already nightmarish enough as it is.

Thoughts?

As someone whose most recent semester ended with a final in metalworking which involved making a machete from scratch by way of either fabrication or blacksmithing followed by a final in acting wherein my class had to perform the entirety of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, I can say that I appreciate this concept to a degree.

Perhaps think about why this anomaly exists in the first place rather than what it does. If you can figure out the purpose, then the effect may follow more easily for you.

Shower thought: what if the exams did alter actual records and memories, but in a way that made the students and everyone else involved feel like they were sitting down for a test for one of their existing classes? And the reason it's happening is because of a ghostly professor was fed up with rich kids partying all the time and paying people to take their tests for them while hardworking but less wealthy students didn't have enough time to study because they're working extra jobs to pay for tuition? So he's intervening to try and balance things out the way he'd like to see karma distributed?

Rich kids either fail or get caught cheating; the underprivileged hardworking but tired students do very well. And since it's the finals and the semester ends soon, there's less backtracking that can be done, and besides, somehow everyone just thinks that the kids were their for their actual exam anyway. Maybe the effect only occurs for students taking large classes of 100 seats or more.

Idk, just something that occurred to me.
