AKMartin Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 -you hear someone sobbing behind you, regardless of how easy the paper is-some snivelling idiot asks for "more paper" after only half an hour-a smug git strolls out, humming, after the minimum time required-someone will still be writing furiously when the invigilator calls timeAKM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 I seemed to always end up with incredibly loud and annoying invigilators when I did exams at school... the ones at university weren't that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addi Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 I find that my biggest problem in exams is that my mind wanders and starts thinking of simpsons quotes, which make me laugh, and i try not to laugh out loud but just end up looking like a numpty."my mistake was going for the cheese."

Bodast Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Haha, one time I brought two pens, the fountain pen wasn't working, and neither was the biro, so I squeezed all the ink out of the cartridge onto the desk and used it like a quill. Good thing it was just one of those French listening tests where you don't have much to write, and not English or history. (Which may have forced me to ask for a new pen, I guess...)

Alan Cynic Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 In my day there were always lots of folks who couldn't sit an exam without having a gonk on their desk. Some had multiple gonk settlements. Does this still happen?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodast Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Oh yeah.... actually for all of my school exams I kept a picture of Peter Gabriel on my desk (very crumpled), but obv. that's cooler than gonks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porter Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 When i did advanced higher music i was the only one in my class doing one of the papers. I was sat on my own in the exam room with two invigilators and a technician. I felt a little over-powered and it really didn't help that one tapped along, one hummed and one kept asking if i was alright.xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwriter Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Someone always knocks everything off their desk.The funniest thing I've seen in an exam was a girl getting cut out of her tie as she'd got it stuck in the zip of her jacket.

jonty84 Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 I got caught cheating in a fourth year exam. Some dick in front of me asked me for an answer by writing "4a?" on his pencil and expecting me to write the answer on the pencil and hand it back to him in "can I borrow your pencil style". I couldn't be fucked with the rigmarole so I just told him the answer and not only did an invigilator hear me, he also shouted 'OII!!!!' from the back of the hall, ensuring that everyone in said hall instantly looked at him, and then me as he charged towards me. He then grabbed my paper off me, wrote " -20% FOR TALKING" on the front and asked me to see him afterwards, where he promptly gave me a first class bollocking. However, it was I.T, and I got 78% (after the reduction). Fuck authority.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowball Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Probably doesn't invariably happen in an exam but a girl had a bout of morning sickness during one of my Standard Grades. It was shocking at the time given that we were all 15 but not so much any more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metarie Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 I always get a wobbley desk/chair and there's inevitably some asshole sitting behind me tapping his foot. But I'm afraid I'm one of the folk who always has a cold come the exams so I'm the one sniffing all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metarie Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 a girl in my class had to sit her standard grades in a seperate room because she was about 1 week away from her due date and could give birth any moment. I suppose it could have been slightly disruptive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingin' Ryan Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I seemed to always end up with incredibly loud and annoying invigilators when I did exams at school... the ones at university weren't that bad.I was once forced to complain after an exam as the Invigilators talked constantly through the whole thing. I could have given a full account of the details of their conversation, I heard every single word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MDP Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 in my standard grade prelims someone farted for about 20 seconds (smelleed like diarea from the back, and they were at the front)then the dude went red and asked for the loo, i think he shit himself.i was hungover for 4 of them and drunk for 2, i still got 2's and 1's in everything (except chemistry where i was neither drunk or hungover, im just shit at it)x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kernel Loaf Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 People who finish early, cross their arms and look around smugly. When the papers are given back, they are really upset about getting a c/failNothing else in an exam pisses me off more than people like that, so it's good when that happens to them.

Rachie Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I finished in half the time we'd been given on tuesday afternoon cause there was really nothing more I could do, and I swear the invigilators were watching me as I sat with my head resting on my arms...I was quite far away from them... maybe they were looking and chuckling at someone else... but it still made me feel rather paranoid.Bad luck on the dude with the diarrhoea.
