Haha, I get you! You're saying:
"I'm the opposite — I do the exam then study!" 😄
Or in Italian:
"Sono l'opposto — faccio l'esame e poi studio!"
That actually makes a fun and ironic twist on the original sentence. Want to turn it into a playful phrase?
🔁 Funny reversal:
"Farò l'esame, poi magari avrò studiato bene."
(“I’ll take the exam, then maybe I’ll have studied well.”)
Or even:
"Farò l'esame come viene, poi vedrò cosa avrei dovuto studiare."
(“I’ll take the exam as it comes, then I’ll see what I should have studied.”)
Would you like to practice other sentences like that — both serious and ironic? We can do more with futuro anteriore or mix in other tenses too.
