Hello everybody!!

How can I say. "ME DEU BRANCO"?

ex:. Eu sabia todo o conteúdo do teste, mas na hora...me deu branco.

Thanks

Olá!

Então, no inglês eu não conheço uma expressão ao pé da letra para dizer "me deu branco" minha sugestão seria:

I didn't remember

Boa Sorte!

Olá Flordelis

Em inglês podemos dizer

I knew all the answers but at exam time... I went blank.

É uma palavra muito usada, mas em que a gente pouco pensa até precisar dela...

Monitor screens "go blank." (telas de computadores)
"Blank spaces" are the empty spaces between words in type. (espaços vazios)
He was shot at point-blank range. (atirado à queima-roupa)

Boa sorte!

If you want to have fun and be more creative, you could say

"During the exam my brain went AWOL. (Pronunciado 'ei-uol')

AWOL is a military expression meaning "Absent Without Official Leave".

If you want to be self-deprecating, you could say

"My brain went into default mode."

"I had a cerebral short-circuit."

I´m sure you can think of others!
