    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.

    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...

    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.

    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!

    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

    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).

    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.

    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

    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).

    /facepalm

    Are none of ye informed of the rules? You CAN go to the toilet, if you really need to - it's just they don't like a lot of people doing it to prevent distractions. You just have to put your hand up and ask - You can't leave the hall unless the super is happy with your reason. You have to hand up your answer book to the super on leaving the hall, and you get it back when you return. They mark the time you were missing and reason on the cover of the script.

    All in the little green booklet they give ya...

    It's 1 for 1, every person that cheats and gets into a course throws someone that didn't cheat off theirs. Not personally affected since I'd say I'll be safe enough like 50 points or more above what I need but it is ridiculous for those that did their best to get it thrown in their face because someone had a phone on them trying to act hard.

    Our examiner brought in a big bag of chocolate bars and told us to take one on our way out on saturday. He said it was because we had to come in on the weekend. He is the best that has ever existed.

    They were full size bars aswell, not fun size which makes it all the more impressive.:D

    Hahahaha.

    First thing I thought when I read the bit about the bars, this crappy bag of funsize ones.

    He truly is heroic to have bought actual bars. I salute your Super.

    Everybody has to do that. It's to ensure you actually go to the jacks. It's hardly that much of an ask, having to sign your name.

    Back on topic, our examiner apparantly fell asleep during English P.2 and one of the maths papers. I dunno how true it is though. Also, on the first day she gave out to loads of people for not being in the center fifteen minutes early, and she gave exam papers and answer books to everyone else first. Then I asked if I could have a book and a sticker but she said "No. You decided not to come in on time so you can wait." And I flipped, to say the least. I said "Actually no, I've been here since ten past nine, so give me my stuff now." That shut her up :) It was annoying the way she was giving out that the people who were late interrupted her routine, but it would have taken a minute to give out the friggin papers :rolleyes:

    Also, yesterday at the start of the Irish oral, she had to get the guy outside the door to come in and turn up the volume because she didn't know how to do it! :pac:

    [offtopic]What's the story with asking your examiner if they've anything taken down about you?,In irish 2 today I was basically staring at the answer book and I looked up,he looked at me and started writing stuff down,this happened a few times.I don't want to ask if I have no reason to,I kind of know my examiner[NOT in a good way he's a b***** and I'm sure he feels the same about me][/offtopic]
