Exam Superintendants. . .

electrictrad

Anyone else get the feeling that their superintendant doesn't like them . . .

I asked for a loose sheet of paper today before the exam, for rough work, and he almost said no. . .and then gave one without question to someone else. . .perhaps I'm just being paranoid. . .

You'll probably never see them again in a week's time. I wouldn't let it get to me if I were you.

My superintendent is awful sound, and more importantly an absolute ride! It does get quite distracting at times though! :P

In my school we have the exams in the large gym and there are 2 superintendents, one for each half of the gym. On the right side there is the young "evil" woman (I'm sitting on this half) and on the left half there is an older woman superintendent...

Ok so this is the problem: Most exams when the time is up the young woman on the right half makes everyone hand up the papers. But on the left half the older woman gives them a few more minutes like up to 10 minutes if they want. And that happened at every exam last week.

If you think like maths and Irish have 2 papers so maybe average of 10 exams in total an extra 10 minutes means the other half of the room have got 100 minutes more than me and my half of the room!

I finished most exams on time but last week with maths I sure envied the people that got a few precious extra minutes...

The old woman collected all the business quicker today though. Maybe somebody said something to her finally...

Mine seems suspicious too :rolleyes:, I'm one of those people who tends to look around when thinking of what to write, and I always glance at the person next to me just to check that I'm not way behind them. I'm really not cheating though! During Irish, the examiner walked down to the empty desk beside me at the very back of the room, sat down at it and started reading the Irish Times. :rolleyes: I suppose he must look at everyone though.

Mine is really nice but she ALWAYS waits to the last second to give out the papers and it's always a minute or two over the time before we get our papers. Then she keeps talking for a minute after she let's use start "Make sure that if you're doing Higher Level there's a yellow sticker on your answer booklet. If you're doing..." Like she has it learned off - it's so distracting! Then she likes to walk around sometimes with her squeaky shoes!

flyaway.

Mine likes to munch on biscuits. :mad::mad:

Really like my guy, he was my attendant last year when i supervised outside. Remembered me, he's done it a few times.

The other guy in the room keeps reminding people about the HARSH REPRECUSIONS and if we have they pagers on them.

Ours is lovely. Had chats with her before and after exams! Kinda makes you feel less nervous. She didn't notice someone reading notes off their shoe though..

Our guy is quite nice. I look up a lot when I'm doing exams, I suppose it's such a natural thing...when I'm thinking I look around the room and he seems to be looking down at me an unnatural amount of the time. I wonder if he thinks I'm cheating or something....but I doubt I'd be able to read someone else's paper even if I wanted to

He seems pretty nice though.

Mysteriouschic

I have a really lovely one shes really nice. She seems quite laid back not strict.
She like reminds you you have to be back , an kinda chats to you at the end .

._.

I'm in a centre all on my own so I have teachers from the school supervising me during the exams
It's nice, feels relaxed and the room is very quiet.
One of them even offered me some chocolate during it

We should petition the SEC to provide mandatory chocolate with every exam paper. . .

I fancy mine. They're bang on too

Mine is some old lady and she's a complete ditz. Doesnt know where she is half the time ah but she's lovely, god love her.

xclw

yeah mines horrible, she stares at me all the time, its so off putting. and one day when she said pens down she let some people keep writing but when i did that after business yesterday she was like "I said put them down" >:(

one classroom have a really cool guy, he starts every exam 10 minutes early for them, not fair really, ah sure

River Song

Mine is very nice. Although, punctuality is really big for him. We start most exams about 5 minutes early, provided everyone's here. English P1 we started at 9:25am like. A starer, though.

Mine's lovely! She always reminds us to check that we haven't forgotten phones and ipods in our pockets, reminds us to put calculator numbers and exam numbers on the front, and at the end when she says time's up, she'll let you write for another 2 or 3 minutes. Sound woman!

Today, I had a bag with clothes in it that I was returning to Penneys, and when I was bringing my schoolbag out of the exam centre, I didn't even see the bag of clothes next it (probably due to exhaustion:rolleyes:) and it stayed there for the whole exam. It was only at the very end that she said "you're not supposed to have any bags in the hall." She wasn't giving out to me, she seemed kind of amused by it because it was so obvious that I just wasn't with it!:pac:

River Song

Also meant to say - he gets all the booklets, puts the HL/OL stickers on them and arranges them in seating order. So all he has to do is start at the bottom of the first row - hand them out of a stack of them, and that's that. Everyone has the appropriate level. He hasn't slipped up once :P

Well I thought mine disliked me since she always gave me looks when I left Maths early (and even forced me to go back in, and checked over my paper to see what I had done -.-), and stares at me everything my eyes are innocently wandering around the room or fixing my jumper (I cant stay still :rolleyes:) but today she literally forced me to take her banana, sandwich and cereal bar, and wanted to get me tea and food, since I forgot to bring my lunch with me. I think I said "no it's grand, really, thanks" about 20+ times, but she's a stubborn one. Very nice of her tho guess it had to do with the fact there was only 2 of us in the hall for History.

To be honest she just sounds like the motherly type, a wee bit strict perhaps but with your best interests at heart.
