Asheee Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Hey!Just a really random question, during exams, My supervisors change the clocks going by what time the exam was meant to start, they just disregard normal time. For example, we had two clocks in the one exam room, one for Geography and One for Psychology because the Geography exam didn't start on time.I hope you all understand what i mean If so, do your schools do that as well? Because I find it really strange, that they'd change time, instead of just changing the time the exam is supposed to finish. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stereoisomer Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 HHAHAHAHA that is honestly the most hilarious thing i've ever heard. (well, one of them)But I guess it would work hehe. Nope, we just change the time the actual exam starts at. But we usually start on time so we don't have that problem. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetnsimple786 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 wowww haha that's interesting. No, they don't change clocks. for the IB exams, ours have been on time. For AP [which is a nationwide test], on the test booklet, it says not to start after 8AM and to contact someone in the AP administration or whatever if you start after 8 [because you could get answers from someone in the time zone ahead of you]. We're always late and start after an hour. And they'll read the instructions to us and just shrug lol. Gotta love it. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asheee Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 haha I see... so my school appears to do things in a bit of a crazy manner! actually, yesterday, in the exam room, there were 3 different clocks all with different times! It's like reality flies out the window. I'm not too sure what will happen with my real exams. (I'm only doing mocks now) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwich Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Actually in a strange way that would be kinda helpful to have them change the clock times! It'd be easier to keep track than memorising that you started at 9:07, or whatever, and trying to add it all up when you could just pretend it'd been 9AM all along Bizarre, though!

KLSmash Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 We sometimes start a few minutes early/later than we're supposed to, but every so often our supervisor simply writes how many minutes remain in our exam. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommeDesEnfants Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 The times are just written on the board for us. For French, we started a couple minutes late, so we had stuff like:START: 9:07 AMEND: 10:37 AMIt was interesting, hehe. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asheee Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 ahh okay! see, I think it's better to write the real time you start, like most schools seem to do, like if they start at 9:07, write 9:07, instead of changing the times and making it seem like the teachers are always on time! it's really silly.

Babydolleyes Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 At my school they just write the time on the board, like most of the other people said. I think it's quite nice actually! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
