My exam went so-so, but it could've been better. The stupid HSC examiner writes on the whiteboard that the test ends at 11:59, but at like 11:40, she changes it to 11:49. I lost ten fucking minutes. And so did a lot of other people that sat the exam. Grrr.... Stupid examiners. I had to fully rush Skrzynecki, and barely got anything decent for my supp and journeys booklet one. I didnt get my conclusion done either. I was so goddamn pissed off after the exam. So THANK YOU HSC examiners, you screwed me over. I'm considering trying to appeal, but it might just get ignored... Fucking beaurocracy...

Yes, I know. But, the thing in dispute is that the examiners wrote down that it was to 11:59, so we all thought we had more time than we actually did. 10 minutes makes a lot of difference, especially at the end of an exam.

That does suck, I guess you could speak to the board of studies people about it, but I don't know how much good that'll do you. If anything, appeal through your principle, but otherwise, I don't know what you should do. I hope that kind of thing doesn't happen during any of my exams...

Well for us, they took heaps long getting us into the hall and going over all the rules and everything, so we started around 20 minutes late. Same thing here I guess

The ironic thing was, I did have a stopwatch ready. I borrowed one from PE just before the exam. But I wasnt sure if I was allowed to have it, so I asked the examiners before hand. They said I wasnt allowed to have it, and said crap like why would you need it? liek OMFG!!

FUCKING HELL!! Firstly, dont use my real name. Secondly, because they did not catalogue the times properly, I got screwed over. I did not get to finish my essay. And furthermore, just because english is your weak subject, doesnt mean that it is for everyone else. I'm screwed now. Those potential marks could mean the difference between getting into a course or not. And even if I do do well in my modules, thats only one half. So, I think I have the RIGHT to complain and banter on!! As for the appeal, I'll look into it tomorrow, if I'm not lazy =P

If you weren't already screwed from the beginning, we wouldn't have a disadvantage scheme for our school.
