well seeing as how people are looking at him weird I imagine this isn't a whole school event. Just as izaya said, if it's just one off then it aint cringey, if it's something he does everyday then the cringe is actually real
I had someone who dressed up every time we had a test, made it all 'fancy' she'd seen this picture, came dressed in a Victorian style dress, corset the whole kit and caboodle, and then pulled out a quill to take her test, it was ******* awesome lol. i'll see if she has a picture of one of the tests
