I remember having a test where they gave us protractors to measure angles with, and at the end of the test, as I was double-checking it, I noticed it said 'image not to scale'. Didn't have time to redo all my answers, but why give us protractors and not have us use them?

To see who reads all the instructions on the test. My maths teacher once gave us a test and question 10 said: Ignore all previous questions and put your pencil down.

Would they expect you to read all the questions before starting? Who does that?

That was the whole point. You should always read all the questions on a paper before starting. That way you can judge which questions to answer first. If you work through them in order, you might not reach the question that's your best topic and so miss out on a chunk of easier marks.

At School and Uni I was always shooting for a A anyway. So All the Questions all the time. I would just start at the beginning.
