Ahaha just curious if your HSC supervises are strict, vote in the poll please :)

Mine aren't at all :) They let us talk when they collect exams :D

We don't get to keep our exams though. They say they need to collect it.

We keep our question sheets. There is no talking while exams are being collected, When collected they go through and check they are all there and labeled correctly before they collect the next section, no dark water bottles, hands must be on the desk before the exam starts so you're not hiding any thing, lol?, watches need to be on the desk etc..........

no way!
last year they sat on the stage and read magasines and knitted, it was hilarious! It would be sooo easy to cheat in there. i sneezed and the religious girl next to me said 'bless you' and they didn't even raise an eye brow.

Ours are rather lenient as well. We can talk a bit when they're collecting the exams. We just have our pencil cases open as we walk inside and tell us to hand in phones at the start + put watches on the table. Also they actually check everyone's paper at the end to make sure we have written our centre and student numbers correctly.

ours are so strict. they told us that if you number all the booklets AND write ur name, it will 'maximise' ur marks. which is pure bs. and when the time for the exam is over and ur supposed to put ur pens down, she repeats herself 10 times when nobody has a goddamn pen in their hand. AND 8 girls (i go to an all girls school) had to stay back because they didnt write their NAME on their writing booklet. NAME not bos number, their NAME. -_- its so stupid. and we can only talk when we leave the examination room.

We were told to NEVER write your name anywhere on the page, even in creative writing we couldn't mention our name or the school's name.

Staying back for not putting their name on the writing booklet... lol this is a case to protest.

wth writing your name on it... that's a conflict of interest and stuff etc. etc. could leave you open for prejudice etc. etc. your school is silly etc. etc.

Ours aren't that strict. They're fairly lenient, let us talk a little bit when we first entered, and didn't get angry if anyone talked at the end.
Why would they get angry, they are only civilians - mums and dads, etc doing this for money.


Anyway, mine were cool, had humour, talked etc.

When I did it last year ours were so relaxed - the school made it out like they were super strict and would eject you from the exam for any little transgression.

Does anyone have a supervisor thats younger than 60? Seriously, they are all the same, old, mostly polite and extremely slow. It takes them 2 minutes to deliver the extra booklets. And i got told off for writing the name of the section i answered when they were collecting papers after the exam. Honestly, im not wasting time putting question names on the cover during my essays.

Ours checked our papers properly to make sure we made no mistake, but other than that we talked when the papers were being collected, and when we first went in. They didn't do checks on our equipment much so people coulda cheated. The only bad thing was they took forever to check our papers at the end, some people were in there for 1/2 hour after the test finished waiting for the blue sheet sign off =(

What the hell hahahahahaha and ourhighschool coordinator gets pissed and gives us a lecture lol

holy shit! wow. we were told if we wrote ANYTHING that could identify us (name, school, town, even location because we're rural) it wouldnt' be marked. haha, i think your markers are idiots and my teachers are fear mongers!

I thought the rules said you weren't allowed to write your name anywhere on your exam. I wrote my student number as part of my story but no names just in case. Wtf?! Name?!
Also, I always number my booklets anyway (1 of 3, etc.)
Anywho, or supervisors are so not strict!
I could've written another page when they were collecting papers, but I didn't because I had run out of paper.
Also, a guy's phone went off in reading time and they just collected it. Pretty sure he will still get a mark for the paper. He wasn't going to cheat anyway, he just didn't bring a bag to put it in or anything.

Haha at the end of paper 2, the presiding officer asked us who still had to write numbers on the front of their booklets. Something like 150 people put up their hands so all the supervisors couldn't be bothered and they just let everyone pick up there pens again rather than watch us one by one XD

We're not allowed to talk at any stage in the room, and that's how it should be. You have to take the paper with you, as you are meant to, as insurance against someone coming out later to say that they wrote their answers on the question paper.
AND YOUR NAME DEFINITELY DOES NOT GO ON THE PAPER! That's terrible, you should complain!
