Disqualification worries

At the end of my 1st A Level history paper, an invigilator asked if I had put all my answer booklets together correctly.

I checked I had, gave her the paper.

Under my breath I muttered 'oh God' because I was tired and exhausted and miserable. The invigilator laughed, and carried on collecting everybody else's papers.

I am worried I might be disqualfiied for this.

I sat every other A Level history paper, nobody's told my anything. Nobody from exams, no invigilators have said anything to me before, during, or after these exams, nobody from the exams department at my 6th form has told me anything.

Just really anxious. Second opinions please, thanks.

Hi @dyftghjk

I hope you’re well. Try not to worry; from what you’ve described, it really doesn’t sound like anything serious. Mutting quietly out of tiredness isn’t misconduct, and the invigilator even laughed, which shows they didn’t see it as a problem.

If there were any concerns, the school or exam board would’ve contacted you by now, and you were allowed to sit the rest of your papers, which is a good sign. You’ve done your part. Now, focus on resting or revising for any other exams.

Thank you terribly. I've talked about this with other people and everyone's like 'you're fine' but I just can't stop worrying.

I've actually finished all my A Level papers this year, so now it's spending summer break worrying myself insane T_T

Thanks again.
