Those little things... (1 Viewer)

Really insignificant in relation to the actual exam, but the things around the exam.

1) My desk was wobbly. But not so wobbly that I could stick an eraser underneath one of the legs to stop it. It just wiggled everytime I wrote something.

2) The guy sitting next to me was cracking his fingers and knuckles. This habit drives me insane. It has the equivalent effect of watching someone slowly stick something into their eye. He did this in frequent intervals every 20 minutes or so.

3) He also sighed a fair bit, which was annoying.



Did anyone esle experience any small things that ticked them off?

when your table is wobbly like that, ask for a piece of paper to fold until it is the right thickness and put it under the problem leg.

[veloc1ty]

People who cough a lot and when people make really random like sighs and moans or something lol don't know how to describe it. Not really a big deal though, was just trying to think of something ahah.

I've never considered paper for that. I've only ever used erasers.

I'll think about it if I end up with the same desk. Although I did sort of breifly consider myself a right little soldier for dealing with it. And when I say breifly, I mean it was gone before I could even ponder on it.

the continuing chatter among the supervisors..

My desk was squeaky.

I think thats the worst. I cant stand squeaky desks

A spider slowly lowered itself onto my table during the english exam. I managed to flick it off my desk, I think it probably died . . . I really hate spiders though, so it interrupted my train of thought and gave me the shivers.

 

[Jezzakar]

the supervisors kept walking behind me. it breaks focus. also, the ladyone was sitting up the back swinging her legs and it was right in my eyeline so again it was hard to focus

A supervisor from the school certificate who looked like a man was back, she distracted me through the sc so now shes going to distract me through the hsc. Also, another supervisor was leaning against the wall, scanning for hands going to be raised, kept going to move when she thought someone had raised their hand but it rarely was anything, so shed start to move then stop. It was all rather annoying.

So many people at my school are sick with colds and things like that, so everyone was sniffling. And I kept coughing because of a throat infection. Sorry LAGS 08. =(

Oh, and I remember in Paper 1! We had about 42 minutes to go (I was right near the clock), and our supervisor said "12 minutes remaining!" We all started panicking and were like, OMG what? NO! Then she realised her mistake and said it was 42 minutes remaining. The whole room sighed, chuckled and kept writing.

Random, somewhat humorous addition. =]

Yeah today in paper two, one of the examiners' phone went off, lol at everyone in the exam hall panicking.

Mines just a hair problem. I have to bring a headband into the exam just to keep it from falling in my face. First exam I forgot to bring the band, so I had to keep tying it back during the test.

LOL panic...heheh

 

[Just.Snaz]

The fact that supervisors take their SWEET ASS TIME bringing you another booklet... and then insist on explaining to me how to tie it up with string WHEN I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FREAKING EXAM!

Also how the supervisor explains everything like.. robotic-like.. it's good but meh.. just tell us the exam is over.. not "your two hours of exam for English bla bla bla... are over now"
