How Common Do You Think "Bad Behaviour" in Exams is?

couple of guys last year got thrown out of general maths for talking. to be fair they were given a warning but then continued talking, so they were rightfully chucked out.

duno what happened to their papers as both had finished. both were *********.

Am I the only one who's curious to find out what this word is?

Yeah bad behaviour is pretty common, I dunno about the cheating kind but certainly the messing around and taking the piss kind. It's because kids are so ******* fed up with exams having gone through so many since the age of about 10/11

I'm assuming it starts with "B" and ends in "ite"



Since the age of 10/11? that's year 6, we haven't been heavily examined since then. I don't mean to come across as a prat but I think if you're going to mess about in any of the exams maybe do it in the ones that matter less, i.e. in your SATs and not your GCSE/A levels.
I will agree that over the last 3/4 years (since GCSE) it's been horrendous the amount of exams we're given, but the first year of Uni that you get if you've done well is more than enough to make up for it if you ask me.

@OP: Cheating has happened in a couple of our exams, however they're usually the same people. It was a text book behind the cistern in our psychology exams last year and was only found after the exam period so nothing was done about it. Although this year they're insanely strict, they've even started checking under headscarfs, which they never did before.

yeah yr 6 you have SATs, then year 7 you have CATs and other exams to group you, we had tests all the way throughout yr 8 for grouping, then yr 9 SATs which they put too much ******* pressure on for something that doesn't matter, I wasn't bothered by them but my younger sister was in tears about it because of some stuff the teachers had said to her then yr 10, yr 11, yr 12, yr 13 it gets even heavier and people get fed up. And even with the mocks during these times they put lots of pressure on you, again I didn't care much about the mock but right now the same younger sister is really worrying about this drama mock this week so I've been going in to help her group with it to make her feel better.
No it doesn't seem that much if you don't worry or feel the pressure form exams so much but for someone like my younger sister, who takes in all this scaremongering from the teachers for just a simple end of term maths test then its alot. I'm just ******* fed up of it.
