There's this really hot invigilator at my college, who's also got an amazing rear. I generally tend to be seated towards the back, and every time she walks past me towards the front, I lose at least 20 seconds watching her from behind :daydreaming: :perv:


Pics or it didn't happen.

Please tell me you didn't have to sit the exam without the book :redface:.


No, but it would have been too simple for the invigilator to read what was permitted from the front of the paper; she proceeded to go and check with the Head of English! :rolleyes:

Disqualification and it did happen.

:colone:
In one GCSE exam I had two chavs next to me having a conversation (at a volume above whispering) about how they hadn't revised and had given up. We were at the front and the two or three invigilators didn't notice. :s-smilie:

CLACK CLACK CLACK! There should be some rule of what footwear is allowed! Certainly not high heels! :smile:

I remember in one A-level exam I sat, we were in a small, cramped classroom, and there was a telephone (a proper one, all old stylee) in the corner on a desk. Halfway through the exam, the phone rang, and the invigilator picked it up and started talking, eventually putting it down.

It rang again later on in the exam. I felt like asking them to unplug it or something. Why such a phone had been left in the room in the first place was beyond me.

At university our invigilators are a mixed bunch, to say the least. Someone earlier mentioned having a hot invigilator- well, we have a hot one, I guess, but it's more than she dresses incredibly provocatively (wet look leggings, crop top with bare, toned stomach, 6-inch heels and wavy, blonde hair cascading down her back...And no, that's not an exaggeration). It's not just the guys that get distracted; we girls spent at least the first ten minutes of the exam in shock at what she was wearing!

She was a nice invigilator though, very friendly and helpful. Just with a slightly interesting dress sense.

Sounds like the beginning of a good porno.

In the Maths exams, other than C1, you're allowed as many calculators as you want. One of our invigilators had a fight with our whole maths group because she said we were only allowed one each - she took one of us and if we wanted to use it we had to put our hand up to ask to swap calculators. So annoying :/

Yes, well, when she bent down to pick up a pencil someone had dropped...

Haha, we have one we name 'The Noisy Invigilator' famous in our school. In a Spanish listening exam this (anonymous) invigilator opened a can of diet Coke which fizzed over and he slurped away. Then he started tapping his pen along the radiator and rustling the blinds.

My invigilator always wears a short skirt and heels! In the Summer sometimes she takes them off and puts her feet up on the desk at the front too! God, it's so hard doing a maths exam and every time you look up you see her bare soles and all you think about is licking them...


I got a hard on just by reading that
Let's just say that having a quick chat at the back (where my seat number was) when I'm trying to write quickly isn't something you should do as an invigilator. We're strictly told to be quiet, I expect them to be quiet as well.
One year, during my French listening, the silly person answered questions before the CD played...and the tape was TOO QUIET! But, we couldn't say anything or we could have risked disqualification. I've always been nervous about my Spanish listening in June because I hope they know how to start a listening exam, rather than us coping with loud chairs upstairs, strong winds making noises through the window and having to listen to a CD that was near undetectable...No wonder I got a B in my French, I presume most of my marks were lost in the listening because of that silly invigilator not understanding what to do for a EXAM! Good grief! :O
Well, to add some light to this dark thread (whilst some experiences are very amusing!), I have an invigilator at school who's lovely. I'd seen her before, but when I sat the BMAT exam, I was the only one in my school taking it. As such, I was put in a staff office to do it with this one invigilator.

Before we started the exam (because there was a problem with locating the paper :tongue:) we basically told each other our life stories. She was telling me about her architect son who studied at Cambridge and how he and his partner were looking for their first house. I told her about my ambitions as a medic and wanting to go into research and she was all happy for me and willing me to get in :biggrin: (although I didn't that year :colonhash:).

And then, because between parts two and three it was break time and this office was right by a window where kids were noisy, she let me sit it out and have a cool down for fifteen minutes. We continued to chat about our lives and also sections one and two of the exam and she was all interested in how I was solving the problems! She is a nice lady.

Whenever she's present in my exams now, we always have a catch-up before it starts and a quick giggle - perfect pep talk for the exam itself! :biggrin:

And she doesn't have any of these irritating mannerisms, so that's a bonus. :yy: :smile:

We had one invigilator during one of my SQA exams (can't remember which) who was really annoying. He strolled up and down endlessly like he was walking to the shops, not the slow and careful walk invigilators are supposed to do :colonhash: I actually think he got a telling off for that because a couple of people complained and he was always stood up the front for the remaining exams.

He looked like Brian Taylor from BBC Scotland as well :rofl2:

Aren't you a lucky chappy?

Getting a break from an exam - thats pretty much against the rules.

It was between sections of the paper, so I couldn't go back and change answers, and it did get distractingly noisy outside with all the year 7s running around. I think it might have been breaking the rules for me to have to sit it with that distraction.

I was only trying to credit this invigilator... They are people after all! :smile:

Nah, what is breaking the rules is you having a break between the sections of the BMAT, regardless of whether you could add/edit your previous work.

Plus, your invigilator could have got the passing crowd to shut up.

Hmm well I guess it's the placement of my exam that was really unfair then - not her fault. I'd have had to suffer the noise if she didn't stop the exam. Fortunately, some people recognise that rules may have to be altered sometimes to make things fair, rather than blindly following protocols.

The office was in front of the entrance to the canteen, on a corner. Being the only invigilator, I really don't think she could have told the droves of screaming children to shut up (hundreds of them - literally) without leaving me on my own and capable of cheating.

After a maths core 1 exam one of the invigilators told my maths teacher she didn't think I had written anything down because I had finished so quickly... I didn't even finish that quickly :frown:

One hot lady kept circling my table...perhaps because I'm black...or maybe she was checking me out :hubba:
