As an invigilator, had a yr 11 :slut: girl try to flirt with me, licking her lips, sucking on her pen, opening her shirt, sitting with her legs wide open to try and give me a view... Headcase.
One of our GCSE mock invigilators was a rather large lady. When patrolling up and down the hall, she got caught between two tables. She knocked one over. It was terrible... Thank God it was only a mock.

During a GCSE exam we had a wasp problem in the exam hall I was in. They would buzz around the window and when they fell to the floor, the examiners came round and stepped on him, making a nasty crunching sound :puke:

Lucky me was sitting right next to the window as well :rolleyes:

Haha. The disadvantages of summer exams.:s-smilie: At least it wasn't very cold!

It was actually really hot because it was the school gym :tongue: The crunching was so distracting, especially because they just left the dead wasps on the floor near our tables

fight broke out between the examiner and a student. i mean full on fists flying and tables being flipped, chairs being thrown.

I needed the toilet for 1 hour 45 mins and couldn't even ask the invigilator to go to the toilet when we were told to go I nearly exploded :frown:

I would kind of stare at them with the :lolwut: face but they just carried on :tongue:
I told my head of year but he said there was nothing he could do :s
hope this won't happen in my GCSE exams this summer!!!
In my GCSE science exam , with 15 minutes to go, the lights went out. We was in complete darkness! I remember wanting to laugh, but simultaneously feeling very frustrated.

Probably confusing Viagra with Thalidomide in GCSE B1.
I was sitting the last paper of my Maths GCSE (hated the subject enough as it was) and a wasp landed in my hair and stung me on the finger as I brushed it out, having no idea what it was.

I panicked, put my hand up and waved the invigilator over, who escorted me out of the last 15 mins of the exam, in case I had an allergic reaction and went into anaphylactic shock (which would have just been the icing on the cake really!)

I've been told that another invigilator took her shoe off and smashed it into the desk, which was pretty grim for the people sitting near - so really, couldn't have been a more dramatic ending for the poor (?) wasp.

I'm REALLY squeamish when it comes to blood/anything to do with veins or eyes etc so when my left arm (my writing arm) started throbbing during my GCSE English exam, I almost passed out!!

:/
I did a preparation for working life as an add on to my GCSE's and one question was about peoples emotions towards their jobs. One question was ''Rita has an interesting job,what might be bad about this''. I obviously totally misinterpreted it as she was a prostitute and went on about her Pimps abusing her and catching STD's. My friends still take the piss out of me about it,

During a GCSE maths exam one of the guys in the hall literally fell asleep and the invigilators had to keep waking him up.

Was laughing so hard in my GCSE Spanish listening exam that I let out a loud fart :colondollar:
Also in my computing exam my alarm rang and was playing Far East Movement out of all songs :unimpressed:
I thought I was being poked, so I turned around and mouthed to the person behind me 'what?'. Then shortly after, I felt I was poked on my inner thigh so I spread my legs apart and started feeling myself, I thought there was a spider or something crawling on me

Woah there. There are kids here! :colondollar:
in an advanced higher chemistry preliminary exam, the invigilator told us we could TALK throughout the exam, as long as it wasnt about the paper:eek::ahhhhh: luckily nobody did, as that would be distracting as f***!
also, in standard grade chemistry prelim I completely forgot how you measured the gas given off from a reaction so i drew a gas measuring machine 3000 with bulbs and wires coming out of it and got 1 out of 2 marks :lol:
and in standard grade geography, at the bottom where it says "page 3" i wrote "where are the naked ladies?" (referring to a joke the teacher made a few days proir to the prelim) and i was threatened with losing all my marks, before he showed the class and everyone found it totes hilare:cool:
