[MERGED] Random exam questions

[paulsterio]

Hahah, true, and also, you do realise that it'd be a bit weird if you had to get up and go to the bin to spit it out if you decide you can't chew anymore

[Andiio]

Are you sure we're allowed a digital watch? If I recall correctly they specifically stated (in the exam navigator) that you aren't allowed to bring in a digital watch/watch that has stopwatch capabilities?

Not 100% sure on this, however.

seems pretty pointless
and it opens frontiers to cheat(you can write quotes on the gum, and inflate it in times of need)

And then it'd go pop and give you away!

Wearing of a watch of any type during an examination is not permitted. All watches must be removed and placed at the top of the student’s table/desk, where they can be seen clearly and easily by Supervisors.

Where there is any doubt about the functions of any watch displayed, Supervisors are authorised to remove the watch from the  table/desk and retain it in their care for the duration of the examination.

Stopwatches or watches with special functions such as an alarm or stopwatch are not permitted in the examination room.

I'm guessing that you won't be able to bring in a digital watch. You'll have to use a regular watch and keep track of time manually.

hmm still quite vague
"functions" refer to stop watch? :S

The multiple colours probably induced the assessor into a seizure or trance!

Here's what happened last year.
Methods exam 2, decided to pop a piece of watermelon flavoured 5 gum in my mouth.
Got nervous during exam, started chewing like crazy....
Next thing you know, the gum, i kid you not, turns into liquid, so i basically had this massive amount of saliva mixed with gum in my mouth.
There were no bins nearby, and i didnt want to swallow it (thats what she said), so i basically had this pool of liquid sitting in my mouth for like the last 20 mins of the exam...

eh, during the end of my english practice exam we were supposed to fill in the booklets with the details as practice when I left til the end and I just had the title of my context to write down when time was up and my english teacher snapped up my booklet before I could finish writing it down to give the "real atmosphere" of the exam

or perhaps she was just being way too anal - but point taken - just get the info down asap.

[Andiio]

Would we be allowed to write the details before the exam starts? As in, just before reading time when the examiners are checking everything? I remember this happened in midyears - I saw other people filling in their details so I just followed suit.

[acinod]

I think we can ONLY use black or blue pen.

Personally I'm writing the title and subheadings for my context piece in Black and everything else in Blue.

[STUDENT4]

if someone near you complains which i bet they will since is so silent and if u chew loud then

gum. not pussy candy gum

Erghhh.. Good question. I know that the supervisors will make us fill it out straight after reading time.... So yes, we will be wasting precious time. But i think i will just leave it to the end. And if they tell me off for filling it in then i will have a bitch about it lol.

do NOT do this. the examiners clearly state they will NOT give you extra time at the end of your exam to fill in the formalities

[hala_madrid]

hah okay, well i've come to the conclusion that the negatives outweigh the benefits
