Synopsis
When Bart presents his book report at school on Treasure Island, it is clear to everyone that he has not read the book. Mrs. Krabappel tests Bart by asking him to name the main pirate in the book. He cannot. She warns him that his grades have gotten steadily worse since the beginning of the term, and warns Bart of an exam on Colonial America tomorrow, but he does not pay attention to a word she says. Bart tries to study, but he frequently procrastinates in his time intended for studying.
When he wakes up the next day, he is worried he will flunk. He looks to Sherri and Terri for help while riding to school, and they offer him false answers in hopes that he will fail the test. Before the test, he "collapses" and sees the nurse, who suggests that Bart stay home because she believes he has amoria phlebitis. At home, Bart procrastinates again and calls Milhouse to see what answers he got. When he takes the test, Mrs. Krabappel tells him that he did worse than Milhouse.
