We all have to line up on the playground and our head of year calls our name out in seat order
Then they tape a photo of you to the place you sit, which sucks considering they tell me off whenever I turn it over

Damn that sucks in general, and is a bit too strict, never heard of a school doing that. So glad I don't have to do that, it would be worse for me because I'm late quite a lot, I haven't been late to an exam but I have still come slightly late, but not late enough to enter exam hall after everyone else is there or after start of exam.
i nutted during my french exam xd

Mine was when the girl in front of me asked an invigilator walking past for help and he ignored her and kept walking... to which we both responded by bursting out with laughter and crying with real tears ... it was English and I spent 20 minutes not writing anything because I was laughing too hard... everyone around us hated us

Not the same thing but I have heard about someone asking an invigilator a question just to do with if you're allowed something and they said be quiet you're not supposed to talk.

They can be such ********s
I'm yet to have an embarrassing moment but I've heard or seen a few, my sister said she nearly sat in the wrong seat in the exam and her friend behind her almost started laughing but she realised, but she said one time someone actually did sit in the wrong seat rather than nearly.
Also after an exam when someone was getting up their table fell.
I know someone who got up to go to the toilet in an exam but as they were walking out they fainted. Execpt they weren't so graceful and litterly smashed into the wall and slid down it...

mine was when the row next to me was dismissed so I got fed up of waiting (because I'm in the last row because of alphabetical order for literally every exam) and a invigilator saw me and told me to sit back down and not leave in front of a whole row of students with the guy behind me laughing :confused: another one was me and my friend came late to an exam and had to walk in with everyone already started their exam we were both ****ing it :facepalm: and when we got in a teacher asked us for our phones which my friend already gave her and I still had in my pocket and the teacher was shaking her head at us :/


When I was writing a lot my pen flung across the other side of the hall, I died with laughter, yet they were so nice to me ahahah I had everyone laughing
It wasn’t embarrassing as such just ridiculous, physics paper 2 just turned out as a total joke. There was the initial realisation that where my seat was on the plan was actually outside on the window cause the room was an odd shape, so they had to awkwardly draw an arrow to my seat so I didn’t have to defy gravity for the paper.
5 minutes into the paper we all then had to stop and be told to correct a mistake (this was the second mistake in as many papers) so we were unimpressed and very confused since we had all done that question already!

And then, the bit that really made this exam ridiculous. So we were in a german class room. This meant there was the teachers desk at the front. It’s right at the side of the room with a computer on it. A computer that decided now was the time to turn on text to speech and read out the entire accessibility window on loop at full volume. The poor invigilator (we only had 1 in the room) had no clue what to do and was just apologising and point sayings she didn’t touch anything wishig for it to stop. She had to ask us to help. I was the nearest so I had to awkwardly get up and press the off button. By thus point I could barely concentrate on the paper and spent the next 20 mins silently laughing about how absurd the day had been.

Oh and then someone went to the toilet. Which was right next to the room so had a very loud flush and a very loud hand dryer!

woahh :s-smilie: i've always thought its so awkward to faint in school lying there having people see you like that, and then someone having to pick you up,
My whole day was kind of embarrassing to be honest. I had to do about 5 hours of exams last Friday, Film Studies and Psychology Paper 2. As soon as film was completed i was going to go out and get something to eat from like M&S and i got halted by a exam invigilator saying i was under Isolation because they didn't want me to ask for answers for the Psychology Paper.

Then the school receptionist and Psychology teacher forced me to go eat some food from the canteen, BUT i they both escorted me into the canteen. So i was basically walking into a huge room filled with Secondary School kids and cutting in lines with two teachers escorting me. Keep in mind ive never eaten in the Canteen ( since over a year - i prefer food outside). So basically i was running around with 2 teachers holding a plastic plate of sausages and chips.

But it gets worse in my Psychology exam, i had to sit there in a room with another woman invigilating and you know when ur trying to hold a fart and it starts to get loud and squeaky. Every time that happened in the exam she kept looking up at me in confusion then back down. Pretty embarrassing

that's happened so many times in my exams, people realise and they switch places it's not too awkward because its before we start and while people are still coming in.

dropping an entire set of coloured pens off my table in the middle of an english language exam and having to wait for an invigilator to pick them up because i wasnt allowed too....
Every time my stomach decides to imitate a whale's mating call in the middle of an exam even if I'm not hungry.
