^ haha yeah our school was the same, the girl in front of me kept turning around before the exam started and askin me what stuff on the paper meant!

zonEEE

ours just sat at the top of the study hall, gave out the papers and that was it. I seen a few people asking him stuff and he seemed to tell them. We could bring in stuff but we had to put our bags outside the room.

Same here, and we started the aural late because the examiner didn't know how to use the CD player. I think she was trying to use the tape buttons for the CD at first. Then it started and someone raised their hand to say they couldn't hear and she changed the speed instead of the volume :rolleyes:

Im up at the front too, right in front of the examiners desk. We can bring in water, food, pencil cases etc. we leave our bags outside the door though. There is only 25 people in our centre and its really quite and she walks around, I dont think there has been any cheating! To be honest I wouldnt chance it anyway. I got caught in the pre and there was such a fuss made over it..(its the pre for godsake) I wouldnt even bother.

Does anyone find that different teachers are CONSTANTLY walking in and out and talking. Its quite annoying
