They didn't let anyone leave early in our exams. What was annoying was when they put 3 different exams in the same exam hall which all had different time durations, so halfway during my 3 hour English synoptic half the people in the hall got up and there was all the confusion getting bags/coats etc while we were still trying to write. I think that happened in pretty much all of my final A2's actually.

Actually strangely enough I don't really get that distracted in exams unless it's something really annoying, as in I get totally lost in the paper I'm writing and as soon as I know it the time's gone.

I always get put at the front, in the middle for some reason. Hate it. Was put there for my 3-hour synoptic and that wasn't fun at all, I felt like I had to finish early so I wouldn't get caught out mid-sentence and not be able to sneakily finish off quickly - invigilator was right in front of me.

in my stats exam, the girl behind be CONSTANTLY sniffing. 2 hours 30 minutes.
sniff....sniff...sniff...
i had to make a huge effort to resist turning round and yelling "YOU'RE 16 YEARS OLD, BLOW YOUR ****ING NOSE. THE INVIGILATORS EVEN HAVE A BOX OF TISSUES! JUST ACT YOUR AGE"

but i had to keep reminding myself that i'd be disqualified, and be hated by lots of people for "being mean", etc etc.
still... *makes stabbing motion*

The fire alarm went out in one of our GCSE maths exams. It went on for ages (and they still didn't move us lol)! That was pretty distracting. We were also doing our GCSEs in a gym, so you could hear all the music playing.

Our AS exams were in a room right next to where loads of the youngr years hang around at break and lunch. They made a racket, and the invidulators didn't think to make them move.

Yeah, that's lucky :P I used to do that when I was actually sitting at the back. My friend did that in my ICT exam though and she got in huge trouble because she was caught.

people walking past the room chatting when they can seen the exam in progress sign.
The frie alarm going off as you have to sit there as it goes on and on.
But the worst one by a mile is in the french revoultion paper in history this year. The invigulator announced at quater to 3 we had 5 minutes left. we had started at 2 and it was a 55 minute exam. Simple maths even i can figure out when we should have been told we had 5 minutes left. complte idiot. still scraped a c though
