I had this happen to me too! The invigilators didn't notice but I noticed this girl keep looking at my paper and then afterwards one of my friends said she'd noticed it as well so we had to tell the exams officer who then had to speak to the girl and report it :O I felt pretty bad about it though…

Pretty much only gets as interesting as the invigilator misreading the time or forgetting to give us formula booklets :unimpressed:

Yeah after the exam my friend who was sat behind said it was really obvious :P Thankfully I didn't have to tell anyone, they noticed it :P an yeahh I'd feel bad but I guess it's just not fair to cheat at the end of the day :P Do you know what came of it?

In our A level D1 maths exam this year 10 taking the exam (biggest maths genius) just brought his textbook in and put it on his desk without realising...and the invigilators didn't noticed and he finished and walked out with his text book and only the students saw (he didn't use his book to be fair but was still funny).
In my Maths D1 exam Tuesday a girl felt dizzy and she had to be moved into the corridor where she threw up and then fainted. You could hear her coughing and choking, it was horrible. I know she couldn't help it, but it was pretty annoying for people doing the exam too.

Apart from that, an invigilator tripped up whilst walking up and down the gym during my GCSE Biology Unit 3 exam.
So nothing out of the ordinary.
I got a question wrong.

I think that the teachers spoke to her about it but I don't know what happened after that. She definitely retook the exam but I don't know if that's because her exam didn't count or if it's because she failed. It was the only exam we were taking that season (November of year 9) so its not like it would affect any other exams!

Ohhh okay :P
Lights went out in the exam hall ... It happened twice

So much hail on top of the cheap roof of the sorts hall .. You could talk to the guy next to you normally without someone noticing...

Someone being moved out of the exams hall after making a big scene ... Because they were ill (supposedly ?? Idek tbh )And 5 months pregnant or summit

That's probably it
A lion got into the exam hall.

I can't tell if you're serious or not? I didn't want to tell the exams officer but my friend was going to tell her anyway and dragged me along so I told her what I saw too. In all honesty though, I really didn't do anything wrong?

Someone started busting out into tears during my F322 paper.

The fire alarm went off in my S1 exam so we all had to go outside and stand there in silence for about fifteen minutes and then come back in and do the rest of the exam. ..

This didnt happen at my school but an invigilator told a student to get up because or suspected malpractice then the student slapped the invigilator due to his massive ego and his exam got cancelled.

Both our invigilators fell asleep for our whole 2 hour English Lit exam and snored really loudly. It was so offputting. Suffice to say they woke up to an empty exam hall with pen moustaches and everyone who took the exam had to retake it.

We had an exam in the main hall of our school, which has a big stage at the front with steps to about hip height leading up to it. There were no clocks at the front of the room so two clocks were put on music stands and the music stands were set on the frontmost bit of the stage. Predictably, the balancing act fell apart 40 minutes into the exam and one clock fell off the music stand & down the stairs, hitting them all. Very loudly.

Next exam we had in there, they put a clock on a chair instead. Didn’t fall off but the angle had it facing the ceiling more than us :rolleyes:
