Your favoutire exam conditions

[ratcher0071]

i like space and lots of air please, also as our exams are usually in the hall, i dont mind people walking past between periods but noise inside is a bit more distracting. Also, i dont like people looking at me, especially if they're looking at me and writing at the same time!!!

what the ... how do they do that

That's counted as non-verbal communication at my school, so we automatically get zero - if we're caught.

 

[cam.t]

I hate it when teachers walk around the room with HIGH HEELS!!! its so annoying.

 

[Hagaren]

teachers almost all wear slippers to our exams...

we had the windows of our exam room open (we had a few demountables) and a bird flew through, brushing my hair on the way. little bastard; I was in the middle of my English paper.

heh.

now those are exam conditions

Oh wow. You'd get a zero just for catching someone's glance?
Those are pretty tough rules.

You probably should have asked for extra time due to distractions.
If that was to happen at my school all the girls would scream at the top of their lungs and run. Some may describe it as "Fleeing in terror". All because of a bird.

Room must have good lighting, fresh air source, non-wobbly big table, no screaming children during lunch and recess, relatively quiet, good spacing between students so there is more breathing space.

I swear, for the past 2 years my exam conditions have been the complete opposite to that.

"Room must have good lighting" through most of the exams i remember doing, all of the lights will turn off at least once, and it then takes a few minutes of teachers stumbling around in the dark to turn them back on. And it's not that fantastic even when they're on

"fresh air source" the air conditioners won't be on, so you'll either freeze or be unable to breath, just brilliant either way

"non-wobbly big table" not only are the tables insanely tiny, they wobble terribly and you'll have at least half a dozen peoples collapse during each exam

"no screaming children during lunch and recess" "relatively quiet" the exam room is between the transition class room and the year 6 class room... need i say more

"good spacing between students" yep, nice large room with all of the desks placed in crammed rows, with just enough room for you to be able to pull your chair out enough to sit down.

pretty brilliant

Wow... sucks to be sitting an exam in your room.
We have our exams in the Year 12 rooms, because you can fold up the walls and make it into a hall. It's upstairs so it's generally quiet and also we use the same tables we always use in class.

Dude. Chillax. Note that these are my most ideal examination conditions, and they're fictional.

 

[the-derivative]

LOL fictional.
Those conditions are close to reality for me.

That is seriously F***** up

Hah, you're lucky then. Well, the hall in which we do exams is relatively quite but can get quite noisy during recess/lunch. We have good fresh air coming in from the air vents and good lighting conditions. However, I would like bigger tables and I have been lucky enough only to suffer from the wobbly table dilemma for only one of my exams.

LOl tables are probably the worst thing about our exam conditions - because we generally have crap tables, and they use the same crap tables for exams.

Yup it can get pretty noisy during those times. When I was sitting for my Physics exam I could hear this conversation:

Student A: Shhh! There's an exam in the hall!
Student B: No there isn't.
*looks through hall windows*
Student B: Oh my god, there is an exam!
Student A: Shhhh!

And I think there was a trumpet being blasted in the last 10-15mins of my English Extension Paper just outside of the hall...

That's really shifty. We have our exams in Year 12 rooms, to prevent noise.

We don't even have Year 12 rooms

 

[the-derivative]

We don't even have Year 12 rooms

WHAT?

Wait is your school divided into blocks based on subject or year groups?

Because ours is divided into year groups + art + TAS + music.

 

[ratcher0071]

We don't even have Year 12 rooms

Neither do we

 

[the-derivative]

Neither do we

Again, is that because your school divides your school based on subject and not cohort?
