Malpractice on Exam Script

Well, if you want to go to court.

I really hope you don't recieve any offers when you apply to university for being so lazy and arrogant.Not liking a subject does not give you the right to waste an examiner's time with such rubbish.Are you seriously expecting LSE, a top 10 university to even THINK about giving you an offer?You might as well cut your losses right away and forget it because nobody that lazy is going to get into a top 20/30 university never mind the likes of LSE.

EMA bonus. £100 will make me turn up.

And why wouldn't I have thought I could get away with it. Nothing on the exam paper/pre-exam speech/posters in the room say "only answer the question in the space".

Anyway I remember swearing in context in my GCSE English Language paper about a soldier in the Iraq War and getting an A*.

I wouldn't sacrifice the £100 bonus for the sake of a silly story that had no relevance to my subject.

I will be applying to universities based on my grades in my A2s and my predicted grades based on my AS. Not my performance in a geography exam. It will not be on references and it won't be in my personal statement.

Nor me.

I had no idea it would be sent back or that what I was doing was against the vague and contradictory rules set out by OCR but not relayed to students.

By the way the quote in your signiture is the same one I scrawled on the front of my philosophy folder. Great minds think alike.

I'm afraid, under the UCAS rules, you have to put down every qualification, even if you get Us (or so I was told when I rang UCAS last October). I don't think you can decline grades either now.

You just write pending for those you don't want to disclose. I have a feeling that since the exam has been withdrawn I won't get an AS in the subject at all so in a way it's turned out quite well. Except for the whole £112 and the angry principal.

If it's not pending - such as if you've dropped it and it's been certificated - then that's against the UCAS rules, and can result in your application being cancelled yadda yadda yadda. Might want to give them a ring and check, though, I suspect the guy who told me you have to declare U grades might have just been a phone slave erring on the side of caution.

Which they are paid (rather well) for.

He shouldn't of sworn but when the rules and regulations are read out, it doesn't say anywhere that you cannot answer the question irrelevently or swear. I would actually complain and make a fuss if my bonus was taken away because of it.

Just a quick heads up to whoever "neg repped" me with the words Mr Blobby. Without capital letters I should add.

I'm assuming that was a reference to my weight. If it was. Lol. You may think I care, that somehow that was an intelligent and witty comment but t'was no more witty than the chav who shouted "FAT" at me on the bus today. Nor are you a better person by doing it through a website. Why didn't you post here saying why you disapproved of my actions/my weight? Why didn't you at least tell me who you are so I may have a fair chance of a witty comeback or at least a punch?

Just a quick rant because unlike most people who neg rep me with pointless insults this person wasn't a neutral repper and thus has had some kind of experience on this website which I have found to be a mainly friendly place. Mainly.

Actually, they're paid pennies - a mere pittance per paper.

It is mainly a friendly place. I think you should just ignore that rep - the fact that they didn't leave their name shows that they obviously aren't worth being bothered about.

Oops... was the story related to the subject at all?

I'm a bit worried about one of my papers now! I didn't quite write a story but I did spend a lot of it insulting one of the characters in my English Lit text - got a bit carried away.

In one of my others I wrote a little note to the examiner saying sorry for the bullet points (ran out of time) & my messy handwriting and thanks to them for marking it - it was a horrible essay, I didn't want them to think badly of me.

I hope I don't get in trouble!

Actually, they're paid pennies - a mere pittance per paper.

Frankly my dear I don't give a damn.

I'm not applying to LSE anyway. I won't get the grades but I'm glad you can be so up-yourself about it. Clearly you have so much experience in university applications being an applications officer at LSE for 20 years. Oh no. Wait. You're still in school.

Hm.

I will be applying to universities based on my grades in my A2s and my predicted grades based on my AS. Not my performance in a geography exam. It will not be on references and it won't be in my personal statement.

It's always nice to know there are wonderful people out there like you who take it upon themselves to judge me, my academic standards, my personality, my university applications and my future on an incident I have admitted was stupid and arrogant of me.

Thanks.
I hope you don't get any offers for university too but then I'm sure you'll blow them away with your wit and charm at any interviews and if not you can use your expert knowlege of the applications process to work it in your favour.
