Gcse invigilators 🤔

is it just me or like, did anyone else think that the invigilators for GCSE were gonna be people like in suits and very smart formal professional people? because our school certainly do not have that they just got normal people pulling up in like joggers or jeans and stuff😭😭😭😭

Same, we had the same people as in our mocks, the 'head' invigilator (the one who writes the times and dismisses us at the end) is actually the mum of a girl in our year, rest of them honestly seem retired with nothing better to do, one of them apparently works at Jorvick Viking centre lol

yhh honestly glad, kinda makes it less scary :'')
They're always just normal people. They aren't some kind of investigators sent by the exam board, they're just randoms who signed up to sit around for a couple hours and get paid a bit of money for doing so usually.

YEAH in my mocks one of them was drinking coffee and spilt it and i just made eye contact w her cause no one else saw it but me😭 like lady you have one job just to sit there, but it provided comic relief in boring business so its ok
we got dinner ladies as the "head" and like one of the invigilators phones was ringing during our bio exam 😭 and another had like their watch beep every idk how long. some of them just wear airpods too like i really thought they were gonna be strict - the dinner lady one is mean though, she acts like she some big boss lady 🙄 its always funny when they do something a bit strange but hey their the ones getting paid 🤷*♀️
