    my examiner tells us daily to go to the toilet before we come in....were always late starting because he does everything so slow......but he always moans at us for it even though we come in 20 minutes early..........he gave us out prayer booklets and read them aloud and when you ask to go to the toilet he yawn and stands looking at you for a minute with his mouth open before saying yes........today he told us to use a peoper calculator when we asked what he meant he said a non programmable one......i asked define non programmable and he just looked stumped...................he tells very odd jokes and we all feel so uncomfortable and shocked that we laugh and that makes him tell more

    also when you go to the toilet he writes it down on your answer booklet..........is he supposed to do that

    Firstly, yes he is, because it's used to check against cheaters you could have answers stashed in your trousers so you go to the bathroom to check them.

    And yes, that's a big thing. It confirms whether or not you were using a programmable calculator which in essence is cheating because some can simply do the sum for you.

    And he's an examiner? I don't see who you need to laugh or mock them, it's not exactly fair. You try going into a school with people you don't know and expect to get along with them for a week and a half. Some people just try to lighten the mood that way.

    I didn't put my calculator make down either :(:confused::(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,016 ✭✭✭✭klose


    Mine is the soundest man ever, he starts all exams about 5 mins early and gives us about 5 mins again at the end for people still writing, a guys phone went off yesterday and we all just laughed including himself, he makes the mood a happy one which helps i feel!:P

    I suppose he's doing his best.
    Poor guy seems better than ours. At least he attempts to crack jokes and help you. :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,157 ✭✭✭Compton


    We've got a woman, and she's sound enough - can't complain!


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Mine like to have whispered conversations directly behind me. It's a bit distracting but otherwise they're lovely!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 107 ✭✭mahonykid


    my one seems fairly on the ball she always lookin and walking around the class shes sound too which is fair enough....compared to the one i had for junior cert who fell asleep a few times and started snoring haha


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 230 ✭✭MaggieNF


    LOVELYYYY


    she is really nice haha :)

    Mine's a bit dozy, but nice enough. He takes his time doing everything which can be a bit irritating when you're stressed.

    As I'm an external candidate I have to sign a sheet at every exam, he waits until 10 mins into the exam, just as i'm getting going before tapping me on the shoulder and shoving the page under my nose. That's f*cking annoying!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,157 ✭✭✭Compton


    I have the same one I had at junior cert, I just remembered that!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 867 ✭✭✭stainluss


    Ours hides chocolate bars behind the big box and takes about an hour to unwrap them:mad:

    Seems alright, though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,624 ✭✭✭double GG


    Mines just awful!!

    Her phone has rang twice during the exams. She eats Crisps all the time! and she tries to do it quietly which means its louder.


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 327 ✭✭zoom!


    mines sound enough. She's strict when it comes to the rules but before and after the exams shes bang on...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 141 ✭✭Cipango


    I sit at the back of my room and theres a window behind me. My examiner loves to stand behind me and look out, or stand behind me and read what im writing.

    But shes very sound though!

    She gave out to our exam attendant (4th yr girl) yesterday, was very funny!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 330 ✭✭3_BOoYA_X


    Ours is pretty alright too, she barely says anything though apart from "start now, finish up"
    Three phones went off on Wednesday during english one, she had to go rooting through the piles of bags to find it! :p The third time she gave up and just waited for it to stop!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 581 ✭✭✭Ruski


    Apparently mine is a chemistry teacher in Finglas. He's sound but he just looks like he doesn't wanna be there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 46 vicksterchick


    Ours is lovely. :) He looks like Rolf Harris without the glasses.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 365 ✭✭dee o gee


    Mines alright, can't really fault him, doesn't talk much, although he has weird eyes so when you look up and he's staring at you it kind of feels like he's staring into your soul or something! :eek: I think he has a cold or sore throat or something because he keeps coughing and clearing his throat. :(
    Theres another exmainer though thats dead on, whenever he walks past us in the corridor he'd be telling us not to worry, take a break for the weekend or he'd ask how the exam went. It justs seems to take the edge off you.

    Anyone else find when they come in with tea/coffee and biscuits really annoying? Im right beside his table so when he opens the little pot of coffee the smell is absolutely delicious, and he usually gets chocolate biscuits. :rolleyes:

    He looks like Captain Birds Eye/ King Lear/ Gloucester.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 410 ✭✭Kevvv


    Our examiner spilt tea everywhere during the very first test :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,338 ✭✭✭yesno1234


    My one is fairly alright he's pretty strict about having your phone with you in the exam. It's a bit annoying though he always walks around by my desk and takes a special interest in reading my exam. During geography he actually walked a full circle around my desk to continue reading my answer, I think he's a geography teacher, I thought at one point he was going to give me a hint or something.

    Yeah! I'm right beside them too and I find the smell quite distracting for a moment or two!

    Ours is lovely, very nervous though. When people were upset she was really trying to cheer them up which was lovely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 492 ✭✭Sl!mCharles


    Sound as a pound, our 'Superintendent'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 262 ✭✭tigerblob


    Thankfully, ours is perfect. The one we had for the Junior Cert was so annoying - ate her scone incredibly loudly, but even worse, she would talk to the class during the exams. Like she'd remember a rule halfway through and announce it and that destroys my train of thought. Our Leaving Cert person is lovely - really nice, and really follows the rules to the book which is better for everyone. Starts on time, makes everyone put their phone outside, doesn't talk and drinks her tea so quietly you wouldn't even notice she's doing it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 307 ✭✭Orlaladuck


    Our one's a right eejit.
    She's better than the first day - she kept walking up and down really distractingly and she was really slow giving out the exams and it was really annoying the other 2 halves of the hall getting their papers before us.
    It annoyed me that she wouldn't let people keep their papers walking out 2 hours into exams..it was quite silly, why do they do that?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 837 ✭✭✭denballs


    funny stuff......guys.....epecially the birds eye one.lmao...........im right bwith you guys that hate them resding what yopur writing.........i went completly red when mine leaned over my shoulder just as i was referencing a part in the bookseller of kabul were a women has sex with a hoarse ....he made a sorta choking noise when he was doing it so id say he was a bit shocked.......probly hasnt read the book.......

    Ours is I dunno...Like phones went off and he was grand about it but bleh.

    Keeps talking in the exams quitel loudly to students which is distractin!

    Apparently one of them in another room started saying 15mins before pr2 "So which poets d'ya think are coming up lads" and some one goes Yeats adn he goes "Yup..who else" "Boland " "Nope but the Lesbian is :p"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 262 ✭✭tigerblob


    A know a girl who did the Leaving Cert a few years ago whose examiner did crazy stuff, the only example I remember now is that she would take a twelve-inch ruler and measure the room and the walls. What?!

    lol, the one in my centre measured the room too, I think they have to draw up a plan of the room with measurments and show where candidates sat etc.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 93 ✭✭ummtea


    I swear to god I heard my guy shaving on the first day. He had his bag with him and I heard him sort of 'rubbing' his 5pm shadowy beard thing slowly and methodically. So I looked up and he put his hand down and gaurded it with his other hand really quickly and started looking around the room innocently. Then I went back to work and he started again. I just shook my head in disbelief. I'm probably just imagining it though? Jesus...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 53 ✭✭FyeaG


    ...Our is a big curly fat slut, with always pissed mood, she dont even talk and ****, i can bet she is from a big posh family, actin smart ass

    Ours is old and also unpleasant. She has a fakeness about her which is extremely unappealing. She also spends alot of time walking up and down the hallway... Plenty of opportunities to cheat... I saw people swapping booklets when she was facing the other way randomly staring at the wall...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25 Lily92


    I have a rele nice woman.. she sticks to the rules but thats only rite! She is knitting sum sort of scarf or somthing aswell..:L
    Fare funny doe she like makes sure we finish up at exactly the rite time. She has to wait for the small ticky hand to get to 12. She is rele gud to have all the papers out on time and aware wen we need more paper or graph paper.
    She also fixed my wobbly desk by bringn me down a folded up envelope to stable it. Thought that was nice of her.
    Dont think she wud be happy if a fone went off doe..
    And thankfully i dnt have any messers in my centre so no problems :D

    I'm really not seeing much point to this thread, except to allow an opportunity to insult people who aren't around to defend themselves.
