Our supervisors are super old people who just lean against the wall and eat biscuits the entire time. Don't check ID, materials, anything. Don't need to ask to go to the bathroom. When the exam finishes, we can get up and walk around, and they'll just sign it anyway. I really don't even know why they are there...

Ours let us start like 20 minutes before the scheduled time (according to the BoS timetable) and let us leave if they've checked our papers/signed the blue sheet while they're left behind to collect our papers
No one has really done anything to test how strict they are, but I'd say if someone did something wrong they'd crack done pretty hard on them

Also, we had 10 minutes reading time for paper 2 instead of 5. But that pissed me off because I wanted to jot ideas down rather than just sit there thinking when the fuck writing was gonna start.

the BoS looks for retirees and offers them a fair bit of money - this is so that they're neutral (as opposed to one of your teachers overseeing the exam) and determined to do their job (for the money)

All of my supervisors fit this description except this one guy.
He's like, 22. And really attractive and tall.
Needless to say, all us girls were really distracted.

Ah I want all your supervisors! Our people are super strict 
As we walk in people are constantly like NO PHONES in our ears and no pencil cases etc. We could only have water bottles with NO writing on them, and four girls and one guy got told they were probably going to get zero for bringing in POST-IT-NOTES! I mean COME ON we were told we were allowed to bring them in, to tab our questions so it was more clear! Before the exam started I noticed my desk was uneven and squeaky, so I asked to change it and the witch said no, I'd have to deal with it And then at the end they take about 40 minutes to go round and sign everyone's blue sheets individually, no one is allowed to leave early and no one can leave until EVERYONE's (120ish) blue sheets are signed... I HATE MY SUPERVISORS

For tha $$.
The supervisors at our school are really nice and chill. We can chat while walking in and waiting for reading time. They don't check anything that we take in. As soon as they say pens down, we are all allowed to talk while waiting for them to collect our papers and they allow us to write all our numbers and stuff on the front after it's over which is good cause then we don't waste writing time. We don't have to ask to go to the bathroom and we can leave if we finish early. Also, they are speed demons when it comes to giving us extra booklets when we need them.
From what i heard from the seniors at the English exam today all people had to do was wear school uniform and have their pens in a clear bag, i heard people were talking before and after without much trouble
I was expecting the supervisors to be something like that but instead they were really nice & let us talk straight after the exam. When we were walking out of the examination room they gave us freddos.Ah I want all your supervisors! Our people are super strict

All of mine are under 45 I'd say. Very relaxed, don't even check our plastic sleeves before we go in. We are allowed to talk at the end.
I just tore the relevant questions out of my paper (English paper 2) and threw the rest on the floor...
Ours were so lenient... Too much so, people had there phones with them, and this one kid asked to go to the toilet so he took 3... 3! phones out of his pockets put them on his desk and went... The supervisor said nothing, he came back and put them back in his pocket. And when the exam is over everyone gets up and runs around...
Yes you can, they can't deny you of more booklets. If they do, they are doing something wrong and you can complain (after the exam).
