Mine went for like 10 minutes
« on: October 15, 2008, 01:27:35 pm »
My thing started at 9.20 and I finished at 9.30.What the hell was up with that?!? I was like the earliest one out of all the people who were doing it. and its not like i was doing badly or anything, i thought i was pretty good. but why did they cut it so short?

don't know =/
Did you still have more you wanted to say or did the conversation die down a bit

I remember when I did it my school went in in groups of four, everyone entered at the same time and came out 2-3mins apart

i had stax to say. i remember that towards the end one of the examiners pointed at the clock on the desk to the other examiner. maybe they thought it was supposed to be 10s mins only?

I've heard that if they're running late then they have to cut short some oral time. (usually happens in afternoon) Maybe that's just what happened to you but strange it so early in the morning.

I had 5 minutes to do my detailed study as one of the examiners turned out to be quite a fan of Igor Stravinsky and talked about his music for quite a while (fine by me though haha)
