Its the Half-Yearlys, exams suck anyway, but there are environmental factors that may improve your performance or suit your preferences...

Heres my favourite exam conditions:


Low ambient noise -

I dont like the hall being dead silent, neither do I like recess or lunch where kids come out, shout and play.


Wide spacing from other students -

Dont like the English exams due to the fact everyone must sit for it and therefore the hall becomes full and there is a person at every seat. I liked my Physics exam where we were kept a distance away from the Senior Science students.


Clock at a suitable angle and position -

Its important to have a clock on the front of the exam hall/room, it is pointless to have it anywhere else.


Smooth tables -

I just hate it when I happen to sit at a wooden table with cracks, gaps and crevices and often I happen to punch a small hole into the paper while writing, very frustrating. The newer tables with a smooth flat tables are what I always try to occupy first. Dont forget to check your seat, one sucker managed to sit on a wet tissue before looking.
Agreed.
Also, I prefer sitting away from other students who breathe loudly and/or sniff alot.

AGREED! last year this girl behind me could not stop sniffing, it was ridiculous and lasted throughout the entire exam. I wanted to shove a pen up her nostril. damn sniffing bitch. and yes, being able to see a clock is definately necessary!
I agree, but I usually dont mind if theres noise 10 minutes before the end of the exam, because I get restless and often laugh and giggle with others in the room ... Before that, I want some quiet ...

Often I look around during an exam and everyone has their shoes off and getting comfy, hee.

I like roomy tables and spacious rooms and a well-lit, well ventilated room. Stuffy rooms filled with hot (or cold) air is uncool.

i agree with the not deadly silent but not much noise thing, but the things i REALLY hate and always seem to happen are
- uneven/wobly desk
- flickering lights
- a ceiling fan that creaks
:mad:

WA ! Thanks for ideas ... I dont see many flickering lights around anymore, but in previous years in classes and exams, they were a major annoyance ...
