Has anyones phone ever gone off?

Our invigilators just say 'All phones off?' and tell is what to do.
Ours are nice, the main invigilator gave me an extra 5 minutes in my Higher Product Design exam cause I had a coughing fit near the end of the exam. And she gave me an extra 10 minutes in AH Geography because younger people kept coming and leaving the exam hall.

Apparently it happened to someone in the year below me last year and they were withdrawn from the exam.

I always put my phone off and take the battery out just incase.

Just realised that our invigilating is quite relaxed compared to other schools.

In SG English, somebody's phone went off at the front of the room. The invigilator simply said "whoevers phone that is had better come to the front and switch it off now"
The person did, and that was the end of it.

We also put our phones down the front, although are allowed water on desks, jackets and bags on seats etc.
Only thing their strict on is no folders in the floors near our feet, but that is definitely reasonable.

We weren't in the hall for history today and were given a double desk each in a classroom.
Something I noticed was one guy had a full folder of notes on his double desk.
He definitely wasn't using them, as I was checking, and it wasn't the correct notes for that paper, but still, it wasn't picked up upon.

Your invigilators may be nice, but I'm pretty sure giving you extra time simply because people are going in and out would be against the rules. Everyone else puts up with it. I did Higher Geography this year and if the time constraints in AH are anything like in Higher, an extra 10 minutes would be very helpful but also very unfair on the rest of the candidates sitting the exam.

they searched through the bags

Our tables were at the very back of the hall where the doors are and it's extremely hard to concentrate on one of the most important exams of your life to date when loads of people are walking past and grabbing their bags.
The invigilator clearly noticed that myself and my best friend (who were the only ones doing Adv H Geo) couldn't write at all and had to wait until everyone had left.

Not every school is the same in regards to how exams are carried out and you kind of have to accepy that. Sometimes it isn't always in your favour anyway. At the end of the day, different conditions call for different methods.
There isn't a single exam that starts at the same time as everyone in Scotland, there isn't a single exam that lasts the same everywhere either.

The invigilators certainly don't break the rules, they are very strict women and make sure all the rules are followed and will not slack off and give people extra time for the sheer hell of it. They are experienced in what they do and understand that students deserve the entire allocated time in absolute silence.
