Exam Toilet Go-ers...

This may seem a lame topic of discussion, but in every exam so far, atleast 3 or 4 people have gone to the toilet throughout. I just don't understand where they get the time to do such a thing, and how they don't go before, or can't hold on. I'm a diabetic so naturally during high sugar levels (which at the moment I have randomly with all the pressure) I should need to piss more frequently. But, being 16'n'all I have learnt to hold my urine...

It disturbs me to hear footsteps coming behind me, and it seems to be the same people every exam. Has anyone else been distrubed by regualr toilet goers? Also the invigilators do more talking than they do watching. Many peeople have told me how they have looked at others people's answers, and people at the back have even carried on writing after the exam. No one has noticed. Its seems diabolical to employ such people.

And even more worrying. The Higher IT papers last 1hour and 15mins. After 1hour, Foundation people were allowed to leave, but so were Higher if they'd finished. Whats with that. I could of checked my paper of a million times to make sure everything was right, but i felt abliged to go. What do people know of this? Are they allowed to finish the exam early? They also did it during the Mocks (I know they're only mocks) but they made me miss out on 10 B/S marks and again the IT ended early....

Surely this cannot be right... These are what we've been studying for 2 years. We atleast need a minimum amount of professionalism.

If you have to go then you have to do. What do you want them to do, hover over you to prevent the sound of footsteps? If it bothers you so then just get permission to go in another room, get a doctors not or something. Although, I don't think that slight irritation brought on by the sound of footsteps is a disease...

Well we've been told specifically you not allowed to go.

Unless its an emergency (sick or diahrea, rofl).

The invigilators do watch quite closely but kind of drift off 30 mins in :biggrin:. No one would be able to get away with anything though.

omg thatmust be so annoying!!! i dont get that but the invigilators annoy me. one actually felt she had to come up to me today in the exam room and point to where i had to put the paper reference. i was like, im not stupid love! and they just talk to you as if youre their best friend whilst youre doing the exam its ridiculous! schools should really employ invigilators more carefully, cos these exams are actually important and them talking is not exactly helpful is it?

ah invigilators i bloody hate them, they are the most thick people ever. why do they talk ?? surely they should be keeping a close eye on everybody. thankfully im always at the front so i dont get the whispering ones.. but in the mocks there were 2 standing behind me giggling and talking like a pair of 5 yr olds. theres also this weird one who doesnt stop smiling at me, it's like ok piss off k.

oh and for the toilet goers, they are OBVIOUSLY cheating, does anybody not realise that? GRR.

lol you think thats bad...

i was busy writing my history exam, when this short fat and round one woddled along beside me, and kicked my water bottle 'accidently', spraying water all over the floor and causing me to pinch myself to resist laughing :frown:

God if someone needs a piss let them go, it's better than them pissing themselves in the room, or spending all their effort trying to hold it in and not concentrate on their paper.
Fascist.

But it's not that they just quietly go, they scrape their chair, kick over their water bottle, drop their pencil, talk to the invilator, cough, sneeze then slam the door, then come back and do the same. It's not just a quick slash in the toilet. I considered storing a book in the pisser and having a sneak.. not worth it though. :P

no no i think they should piss themselves .
oh and get this then .

today somebody felt the need to go to the toilet within the first 25 minutes , i mean surely you would have gone before the exam, no ? when they go to the toilet they spend LITERALLY 2 minutes and then come back in the hall smiling and smirking . i mean WTF ?!?!?!

I heard a rumour, well perhaps not for everyone, that people put notes in their underwear and go to toilet halfway through exam because obviously invigilator doesnt go in with you.

I thought that was quite funny :p:
HAHAHA someones phone went off today. A chav, was actually LISTENING to music in the exam. What an IDIOT.
Our school and the exams dont allow people to go to the toilets during the exam!
they do . or another obvious one, write all over their bodies ??!

Maybe you could write on your "shlang"... I could write a hole essay :biggrin:
one cheating method i thought of, was, prior to the exam, writing formulae etc on a tissue, which you pull out of your pocket, the invigilators think its for sniffles from hayfever, you ''blow'' your nose, take a peek, return to pocket, continue.

so it looks like theyre actually looking at their snot ? o interesting cheating method might have to try it :s-smilie:
I'd rather be annoyed at someone for their 10 second walk out the hall than they fail their exam because all they can concentrate on is how much they need the toilet.
