Not sure if you have to put the numbers on the desks, but if you don't make sure they are done properly. First day of exams Explain rules to candidates. Check ID of any external/adult students. Make sure they are in their assigned centres (if you have 'Reasonable accommodations' candidates). Make sure the supervisors of any RA centres know to come to your centre in good time to get their papers each day. Each day Get a student to sign paper packet to make sure it has not been interfered with.... AND IT'S THE CORRECT SUBJECT / PAPER / Supervise exam according to the rules. If anyone from the school tries to get into the room tell them no. Stick strictly to the rules and you cover yourself. Do out a plan of the room showing where everyone is sitting and write a record of anything unusual that happens. Following each day's exam, get to the Post Office to send papers back to Athlone, or if exam finished too late, make sure they are stored securely in the safe. It's been a while since I did it, but that's more or less it, I think.

And do you HAVE to be there every day? I'm marking and my conference will be one of the first so exams won't be finished in our school by then
Millem wrote: » Is it for reader etc? You get paid per exam. It is something like €56 (the daily rate divided by 2!) In my school you are assigned to a student based on what days you want and also say if you have French/German etc! Honestly not worth it as I would need childcare.

sitstill wrote: The letter that we get tells us to ring the school to tell them at what time we will arrive on Tuesday. Do people actually do this? I have found that every year when I ring, the person on the other end of the phone - secretary presumably - has no idea what I am talking about. I was assigned to a different school this year and just made the phone call and there was the same confusion on the other end, so it made me think that maybe Superintendents don't actually bother to do this?
