Exam (Psychological thriller) - Plot

Exam begins with eight candidates dressing up for an exam, in which they enter an exam room and sit down at their desks. Each candidate has a paper on their desk, telling them what candidate number they are, from one to eight.

The invigilator/examiner explains the exam to the eight candidates, in which he explains that the exam is eighty minutes long and there is only one question. He also explains that there are three rules, ‘do not talk to the invigilator or the guard at the door, do not spoil the paper or allow it to be spoilt, and do not leave the room’, in which if they don’t go by the rules, they will be disqualified. The invigilator then starts the clock and walks out of the exam room, in which the candidates then figure out that the papers in front of them are blank. One of the candidates spoils her paper and is disqualified from the exam.

The seven candidates left in the exam realise they can talk and work together to figure out what the question is, in which they nickname themselves by the colour of their skin and hair colour. However, one of the candidates who is referred to as ‘white’ takes control of the seven candidates left, but works against them by telling them he knows the question but he won’t tell them. ‘White’ must take medication to stop himself from having a panic attack and dying.

Furthermore, another candidate who is referred to as ‘Black’ ties ‘White’ up on a chair, and doesn’t believe he actually needs medication. However, ‘White’ is telling the truth and actually needs to take his medication, in which another candidate referred to as ‘Brown’ is hiding the medication. The candidate referred to as ‘Blonde’ finds out that ‘Brown’ is hiding the medication and retrieves the medication that ‘Brown’ threw into a vent, in which she gives ‘White’ the medication and releases him from the chair. The candidates demand ‘White’ tells them the question now, in which he tells them that there is no question.

Moreover, ‘White’ grabs the guards gun and attacks the other candidates, forcing ‘Brown’ and Blonde to leave the exam room. While Blonde is walking out of the exam room, she activates the lights to turn off, in which ‘Black’ attacks ‘White’. When the lights turn back on ‘Black’ is dead on the floor. However, Blonde isn’t out of the room, as her foot is still in the room, in which she comes back into the room.

The clock then comes to zero, in which ‘White’ tells the invigilator he is the best candidate for the job, which then leaves ‘White’ disqualified. However, the eighty minutes weren’t completed, as ‘Deaf’ (another candidate) set the clock forward. ‘Blonde’ then remembers ‘Deaf’ was using his glasses and a broken glass to see the exam paper, in which she takes the glasses to find the exam paper has ‘question 1’ on it. The invigilator then returns to the exam room with ‘Deaf’, who is actually the CEO of the company, and he heals ‘Black’. Furthermore, ‘Blonde’ passed the exam, in which she’s offered the job, and she then accepts the new job.
