    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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

    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
