Strange/Funny happenings in exams?

Jesus, how many people want to get "Invigilator" wrong in this thread?

Think about what an invigilator does - they watch over you - the middle part of the word comes from "vigil" which is a time of watching or observation.

Don't they teach kids how words are broken down and constructed these days :confused:
 
My best mate fell asleep in his History GCSE and was snoring louder than a fog horn, woke up by a teacher and his paper stuck to his face due to dribble.

The whole year used to set a time and all cough at once too, that used to wind the teachers up.
 
i got to be an invigilator in a few exams a few weeks ago, its good fun, theres a game we play...

to another invigilator we say "right, whos most likely to be pregnant within the next year?" then he has to go up and stand behind the person they find most likely

or "most likely a heroin addict" etc :D makes the hours pass ^_^

so if any of you ever had a teacher randomly walk up behind you in an exam and stop.... you know why ;)

i dont get to do that often though as im just an IT Technician and was only in there to make sure the projector and presentation ran smoothly
 
best thing that happened to me as during my 1st year Uni Computing course, there was a maths exam and based on the mid term one it looked dead easy.

But when I got the exam paper and read some of the question I didn't have a clue, was looking around at the others and you could tell most were bricking it as non had preped properly and thought the same.

So a few mins I was thinking of pulling the faint card to save my grade, was building up the courage to do it for a few mins when my mate in the seat next to me collapsed head first onto the desk and start to fall over. grabed him along with the invigilator woman and got him outside till the nurse came :)

Got me an extra 2 days to revise although I got a new exam paper :(

No, they don't. It's very interesting, and can be very helpful when dealing with words you don't know.

I'm amused by the idea that the words "negligent" and "negligee" have the same root.

I got the maximum mark on the lower tier paper, I hated my shcool.

Yeah I hated the idea of that when I did my GCSEs. I did the higher papers for English and Science I think but Intermediate for Maths. We were told in English that those on the Higher paper would fail the exam if we had a bad day and got less than a C grade because we'd fall into oblivion. I wish they could just do a single paper.
 
I fell asleep during one of my GCSE exams. I had my head on my arms on the desk. You know when you get a feeling you are falling, or something is going to hit you? Well I was asleep but I had a feeling a ball was flying at my face. So I jolted and really knocked the desk. EVERYONE heard me and looked at me as if I was a retard.
 
Had Chemistry exam today. Fell asleep and the guy infront moved his chair back and it banged into my desk. I jumped up and looked around the room wondering where the hell I was. :D It was a bit embarrassing :p

In a mock french exam this ned (chav) started talking, he was told to be quiet by the invigilator, he then shouted at the invigilator to **** off. He refused to leave and eventually turned over his desk, kicked over his chair and swore some more at the invigilator before storming out. It was hilarious!
 
Best exam was GCSE d.t mocks.

First of all, everyone was throwning compasses against each other. :eek:
Then one kid was blowing a bottle cap in the air, all u hear was oh **** before it hit him on the head. :rolleyes:
One kid pretended he had terets (probably spelt wrong) and shouted out the W bomb through the whole exam. :p
And then the same kid, looked over at one of the graphics exams and spotted that we were just shading in a cylinder. He just shout "what the **** how come they are shading and i have to answer questions".
