Not an anime but "99 Cool Things to do with a Time Machine" from Strange Hill High?
- During the first day of exams, an old clock tower high above Strange Hill High gives Mitchell an idea as he's running late to class.
No, it was eefinetely an anime. Probably late 90s early 2000.
episode 6 of Haibane Renmei?
Could it be Cardcaptor Sakura? Sounds a bit like episode 12.
Edited by ninjamitsuki2 Call me "Heruru Meruru". http://blue-star-above-me.tumblr.com/Definitely not Cardcaptors Sakura. It was a more obscure anime.
I remember that the trio were all male, and they made a deal with a female teacher to get the answers.

I have been thinking about an anime. I just remember one episode about a trio of students that were about to have a test, and for some reason, then one of them climbed into a clock tower to fix the abandoned clock there.
