Re: Have you ever seen someone get disqualified from an exam?Papers don't EVER get ripped up in the exam hall. Your teacher might rip up your paper in the class but it will never happen in the exam hall.(Original post by SpringNicht)
Just wondering, has anyone actually seen someone get their paper ripped up?
I've seen someone get an initial warning but nothing more
My m8, left his phone on in my GCSE maths exam and he decided to turn it of in the exam and when he did it made a sound.
He got caught and was disqualified from all of his AQA exams i believe
.
I feel for the guy cause he's a nice fella -

Re: Have you ever seen someone get disqualified from an exam?Nah our invigilators seem lenient.
Last year a phone went off. They recorded the girls name but took no further action.
2010, this kid turned up stoned and halfway through the exam started yelling some vernacular along the lines of having a penis that is both large in size and presently erect. He got taken outside and spoken to, no further action was taken and he ended up getting decent grades. -

Re: Have you ever seen someone get disqualified from an exam?This wasn't my class, so I wasn't there, but this is apparently what happened: In a controlled assessment, somebody had a laptop and hid all these notes under it. Other people hid them in their pencil cases. The teacher noticed and quietly alerted the head by email, the head came in and checked everyone's pencil cases and pockets, and then took out those who were discovered to have cheats and notes. Apparently one kid fainted and another started crying haha.

Re: Have you ever seen someone get disqualified from an exam?That's weird, I've seen people come in an hour late and be allowed to sit the exam...(Original post by Over The Rainbow X)
Last week, a girl came in halfway through her Food exam (I was sitting AS Literature) and needless to say, she was disqualified. -

Re: Have you ever seen someone get disqualified from an exam?I remember my friend getting disqualified, I'm almost certain that it got ripped up in front of everyone.
To be fair, he didn't really care and was prob trying to get disqualified! -

Re: Have you ever seen someone get disqualified from an exam?differant schools have differant policies in terms of how they carry out the rules ICQ have. Needless to say private ones are more flexible and allow you to have your full allocated time if you show up say 30 minutes late.(Original post by SpringNicht)

Re: Have you ever seen someone get disqualified from an exam?I don't get cheating by notes - surely, with the tiny amount of information you could fit on bits of paper, you could just memorise it for the five minutes it takes to walk into the hall then write it down when you get in? Works for me

Re: Have you ever seen someone get disqualified from an exam?Well in a class exam which counted towards a gcse years ago, he drew a smiley face on the back and apparently he cheated as others saw it(Original post by SpringNicht)

Re: Have you ever seen someone get disqualified from an exam?This was at uni, but someone kept on writing in their exam after the lecturer said to stop writing, and I think he just refused to collect in their script (it was at the back so I didn't see what happened that well).

Next time I'll be more careful to not keep writing after the invigilator says 'stop'. -

Re: Have you ever seen someone get disqualified from an exam?Yeah I have.
It was an idiot who wrote notes all over his arm, then had to take off his jacket, revealing everything. His exam paper wasn't ripped up, but he did get screwed at quite badly, delaying the exam. -

Re: Have you ever seen someone get disqualified from an exam?Regarding people coming in late, my school was very lenient with lateness, and as long as the candidate entered the exam hall before anyone else sitting the same exam had left, they were allowed to sit the exam.
And phones were always going off in the bags, the invigilators never said anything, other than a few muttered curses.
