After the main supervisor said pens down, they just kind of wandered around telling us to put our numbers and stuff on every page, but because theres like 150 of us, there was no way they could've kept an eye on everyone and there were people who were writing 5-10 minutes beyond the allocated time.
lol

we actually know our head supervisor lady pretty well, she used to be an english teacher at our school before she retired.
so, she wasnt lax but she was really encouraging and sensitive to us

Yeah I thought there was no talking allowed in the examination room, but once pens were down everyone was chatting and they didn't even try to control it.

Some people have special provisions to give them extra writing time. That may be a reason why people were still writing? We had a few of those.

But our examiners were really... clueless. It was like they didn't know what they were doing there...

Business studies and English have been way more relaxed then any other past exam we've had at school. I thought the supervisors were meant to be strict..

I am on 1-on-1 supervision due to my provisions, so I can't write after pens down. During my special provisions rest breaks however my supervisor and I have been chatting away which is good. helps me relax.

Oh, and went to the toilet about halfway through. There were notes for standard on the floor ^_^

My head supervisor and every one else besides the two guys were tight asses. That fucking watch rule is stupid. I couldnt wear mine because apparently the programmable tides can give me secret answers to the paper or something.

I still laughed every time some1 went to the toilet and came out with one of the supervisors smiling.

Dear god i know!

But our supervisors were very very good at what they did the whole way through, very precise. Except...when they had to collect the papers...because my last name is so far down the roll, i was there like an hour later, with the old supervisors still going through, checking the numbers booklets pages etc etc.
In fact, in the time it took them to collect my AOS paper, i probably could have redone my journeys essay in Latvian.


overall though pretty relaxed
