omg screaming, lmao.

There such banter between the invidualtors, they walk around having a bloody gossip!

In the ICT exam she sat down and red a book!!

I remember we had some ancient woman as one of our exam invigilators, she was like 73, no joke, and I swear she couldn't see. She would just walk up and down the aisles looking straight ahead, and when someone would put their hands up for extra paper or tissues or somet like that, she would just carry on walking straight ahead

She had a face smacked with makeup as well, which made her look even more fossil than she actually was.

She's probably dead now.

I actually ran out of time in my Media GCSE, if I remember correctly. I think that was my worst exam.

I did hardly any prep for it, as it was one of my last exams so by that point I just couldn't be arsed with GCSE's anymore as I just wanted it to be over, which I ended up regretting.

We also needed to bring colouring pencils and I was anxious at the timing so my colouring was awful and outside the lines and other people were doing the same and you could hear pencils dropping and the nib of the pencils on the tables, it was awful. Then when I finished the storyboard, the invigilator said 5 minutes left, and I still had one more question to do (the questions were worth 25 marks each), I was like oh crap. I managed to do a bit of it before time ran out. In the end, I got a B in GCSE Media. No doubt the coursework helped, as my coursework was great, and it was worth like 60% of our overall grade whereas the exam was 40%. I think I got a D in the actual exam

We didn't have to colour in ours.
Controlled assessments and coursework will no doubt be my grade savers

One of our exam invidulators tripped over in the Geog exam and she mumbled "**** sake", cracks me up.

[Daniel-X]

One of the invidulators once just shouted 'TIME IS UP' and we all looked and one of the women tapped him on the back and tapped her watch and he went 'HALF AN HOUR LEFT'

There is always that horror story of the boy whose phone went off in the exam that they say before literally every other exam

Media Coursework was so dull. It was all analysing. I remember it being split into 3 assignments. I think the 3rd assignment was the best as that involved practical work, and it was the biggest.

If you're good at English, you'll find it easy, which I did, but it was soo long.

They always say 'three boys were disqualified from their exams last year' but contradict themselves by saying 'we haven't had any complaints last year so we want you to follow this standard as there conduct was flawless'

It was pretty easy tbh
I think I got an A in all of my coursework in all of my subjects which wasn't hard as in some subjects the teachers gave you whole paragraphs to put in to boost your grade.

[Jason.]

I remember doing our Year 11 mocks in the hall, so it would give us an idea of the "real thing" and the retarded rebels would cough loudly in the middle of the exams and the invigilators would get annoyed at shout "IF THIS WAS IN THE SUMMER, YOU'RE PAPERS WILL BE TORN UP! !" with a face of thunder

The Horror of when one of the invidualtors gives you a dirty look.

[Daniel-X]

My year is the first year were it's compulsory to do some form of education till you're eighteen.

Also the last year to do coursework

I'd put my middle finger up, it's not like I'm cheating, so what they guna do.

[Moosething]

The tragic ending to the tale was that the person ringing was the boy's mum checking to see how his exam had gone.

Yeah, I got A* in both my Science Coursework (ISA's I believe). The teachers would pretty much spoon-feed us the answers, and you just wrote them in your own words in exam conditions like a few days later

Yeah, I've heard that happen to people.

That wouldn't scare me, TBH as I would just blame my mother for failing me.

she'd come over and slap you, and then proceed to shoving your table over whilst spitting in your face perhaps? Or I'm sure thats what they would be thinking

Omfg, I remember in Year 10 doing my Core Science GCSE, and my desk collapsing halfway through the exam. The humilation

oh my god, did the invidulator run over with tissues?

I can't think of anything more embarrassing...

No, but they moved me to another table. But for 5 minutes straight, all eyes were on me. I think the part where I had to get up and carry my paper and pencil case was the worst. And you could hear people sniggering

I was the centre of attention after that exam though so

omg, I bet the invdualtors had a good old gossip about it whilst sipping tea from their flasks.

[Daniel-X]

Most embarrassing thing to happen to me (I've had lots of embarrassing moments) was when everyone was quiet working on their coursework in science this year was my lab stool giving way and me grabbing the desk behind me and dragging that down with me also literally everyone was in tears
