piss lazy examiners

electriks

today my friends phone went off 3 times then it fell on the floor. she not-so-discretely picked it up and tried to look innocent. the examiner just stared. she was too lazy to get up to say anything. proves they're just in it for the money...

I guys phone went off in our Irish aural today. Our examiner took it.

What you've said doesn't prove that they're in it for the money; it proves that your examiner is just in it for the money (and it doesn't even prove that).

Tar thousands of people with the one and same brush much?

Damn right!.

If you dont get the points you need, i say you sue the examiner, the SEC, the examiner's parents, your friend and the mobile phone company. Bastards.

My LC Chemistry exam was my last exam (2004). I think it was due to start at 3 and by 10 past there was still no sign of our examiner. As there were only seven of us, I decided to go out to the secretarys office and ask what the story was.

The examiner promptly comes in two minutes later, turns out he had been asleep in his car, lol.

electriks

haha that could work. ya but i've heard it from examiners. if a student is cheating the examiner generally won't do anything about it, unless they make it really obvious and other retarded student might go home and tell their parents like that dip**** in louth. its 2 much of a risk to take obviously but its too much trouble for the examiner cause they have to write up about it, give all these reports....takes AGES

Well, if you actually read the information booklet given to you - You're not allowed them!

ALL mobile phones and electronic devices (except calculators) are banned from state exams. Anyone found to have them, they will be confiscated, and sent to the SEC offices. The device will then be looked through 100% to see if there's any information on it which the student may have been using to cheat. EVERYTHING is looked at. The student MAY get off light, and suffer no consequences, but they could be banned from state exams for 5 years and have their papers cancelled for violating the rules for state exams. It depends what kind of mood the minister for education is in!

During the LC last year our examiner fell asleep during English paper 2. Now, that's lazy.

...stephen...

Ah sure it happens! Or fella is dead on! A phone went off, and he just say but it away! its sound! Can ye go to the toilet as much as ye like?? or can ye only go once and timed and all that??

...stephen...

OKay that sounds wrong!! but you no! like cause you could be cheating and all that!!

Bet me to it. Ours did that today for about 30 seconds, during which time one guy wanted to leave, so had to stand in front of him with his exam booklet until he realised he was there. How I didn't laugh I'll never know.

...stephen...

Ya same as, but her fella does not even come looking for ya! loads of time if people wanted to look up notes or anything its crazy!

That's in theory, yes. But in reality, if an examiner can avoid doing something like that, they will. Because if they have to file any sort of report or anything about cheating or phones, etc, they can never supervise another state exam again. I don't know why it's like that, but I did the superintendent thingy last year (those students who bring in the tea and coffee to the examiner) and I was talking to the examiner I was covering for and he mentioned that and I found it quite strange.
Hell, a guy in my center on Friday, his phone went off; examiner took it and gave it to the superintendents to hold till the end of the exam!

i think your over reacting a bit. most examiners dont care. do you think the department are goin to bother lookin a 100% through a phone? have you heard it happenin to anyone before? i doubt it and im sure people get caght every year with phones. anyway what i said was what difference to the rest of us. absolutly none so theres no big deal

ya we call him santa clause (dont ask) but he drives his car right in front of the gym door so he won't have to walk far. we have to use a different freaking entrance at the side because of t

Exactly! Hell, I remember last year going into the toilets in my school during the biology exam and seeing the entire course of biology (in note form obviously) crammed behind the top of the toilet!
We got rid of it of course. We were in it for the money. :P

electriks

why do people bother. you go to d bathroom n youd be n such a panic about getting caught n cramming the info in2 your head ud know nothing extra going back n waste of time

Fince

i'm sitting right up the front by the examiner. during english paper 2 i thought she kept on staring at me, and the same thing was happening today. i plucked up the courage to look back at her today. HER EYES WERE CLOSED. there i was thinking i was in with a chance (after an hour and a half of irish today, she was looking very attractive for a women in the 55-62 age bracket).

VERY disappointing

ironictoaster

During my art practical exams a few weeks ago, our examiers teeth fell out when he fell asleep!

Grusome stuff.

Topsnakebite

my examiner falls asleep every exam its so funny watching him sleep,then he wakes up pretending he wasnt asleep

I hate that when you have to fumble with it. Although it couldn't of happened to a nicer guy

I was the only one doing the music exam in my school last year and the examiner took out nail clippers and started clipping his finger nails. :mad:
I was nearly going to pick my pen up and drive it through his neck but decided that he probably wouldnt let me sit the applied maths paper the next day if I did.

That's not the case. The person who told you that was mistaken, or having you on.

It's not laziness.

You think they're going to add to the disruption by screaming in a packed hall about misconduct?

Each and every incident will be recorded on their exam paper if they're suspected of cheating and followed up on.

bythewoods

If an examiner suspects a student of cheating, they don't have to make a big fuss about it.
They can just discreetly write it down and you'll know nothing about it until you get your results in August with a big "CANCELLED" scrawled across them.

Not worth the risk imo.

A chap in the school beside mine was thrown out of English Paper 2 though, apparently, after he was caught cheating.
Hate to be him!

Antamojo

My examiner looks like she loves botox (spelling?).
Her face doesn't move much, kinda like that one off the new TV licence add.
You'll have to take my word for it

ALincoln

Wake up, the superintendent did not react because confiscating a phone precipitates an investigation. If any hint of wrongdoing is detected, the culpable party is banned from State Examinations for 5 years. That effectively stalls their academic progress for half a decade. Most supers will turn a blind eye unless confronted with the most blatant of attempts to cheat (and even then they tend to be tolerant).

i love my super so much, shes amazingly lazy its gotten to the stage where she doesnt hand out answer booklets before the exam instead she leaves them on her desk & we get them, she doesnt hand out extra paper or graph paper either, we go get it ourselves hahaha

Try an examiner that is 25 minutes late for an exam and then acts like nothing is wrong with it. Awarded with the elapsed time at the end but still not on at all.

Our examiner doesn't like letting people go to toilet, we're not f***king ten year olds we should be able to go when we need to :mad:

any chance shes blonde ? i had one like that last year she wouldnt shut up about it and would start saying in the middle of an exam "you should all go to the toilet beforehand this is distubing everyone" after the 3rd time i put up my hand and said in my sweetest whisper "could you kindly shut the **** up im trying to do an exam" (i think it was english & i was very stressed) suffice to say a few people heard me so there was a few sniggers from the ones who found it funny, super went bright red and we didnt hear a peep out of her for the rest of the exams

In english? Epic fail

During the JC, we had an examiner for the optional subjects. He dropped something and went to pick it up but then farted in some guy's face behind him.

sounds a bit far fetched to me, surely they need to prove cheating to cancel an exam, not worth the risk anyway but i dont think they can just say "oh he had a phone" and your exams cancelled

she couldnt really if she said anything i would have just explained she was talking throughout the exam, everyone would have agreed with me + the principal & teachers would back up the fact that im not a "cheeky" student and have never spoken to a teacher like that so i clearly had reason

anyway that woman was a witch and i should have reported her

What happens is that the results for the subject in question will not be on the person's results. Sometimes they will not arrive for the whole centre. Nothing need necessarily have been said to the candidate on the day. It's up to the school then to contact the SEC and see what the problem is.

There are a number of cases every year where this happens - where there is suspicion of copying, particularly on project work (field studies, history projects, experiment booklets and the like).
