That was so ****ing annoying. The people jogging by the windows could clearly see people writing an exam yet this still continued to play their loud music and run all over the place  I was writing ECON 2T03 and I remember like a day after the exam, the prof sent out an e-mail to the entire class saying he was sorry about all the noise. I think he marked the exam a bit easier because of that too

I hate the "excuse me you have to put your waterbottle/coffee cup under the desk" 5 minutes before the exam starts. I WILL OKAY, just let me chug down some caffeine so I don't end up killing you in my sleep.

Nope, I think you're all wrong. The worst part of exams is what they lead to - the results.
I just came from the 'Which marks have been released' thread, and I'm not kidding you, my heart's still thumping. Now to see how long I can resist.
EDIT: Oops, it was 'Marks are out!' And I couldn't resist after a little prodding... >.>

I find myself sexually attracted to the man and the microphone.

Have you ever been annoyed by this?:
"For those writing (the course that's NEVER yours), on page 2, question #3, the word 'and' is supposed to say 'an'"

Anytime I have ever written an exam in IWC, I've never able to find the man with the microphone. It sounds as if he is right next to my desk but I turn and look and he is NOWHERE.

in my opinion, what sucks the most is this scenario:
you have a 3 hour exam.
you're giving the exam
you've answered 23% of the exam within 30 mins.
now you don't know anything more.
and you're waiting for an hour or two to go by so that u can leave without looking too much of a loser.
the invigilator is looking at u.
you pretend to read a question.
the invigilator doesn't buy it and YOU know that HE knows you're just sitting there waiting
you scratch your head
its getting kinda warm inside the exam hall
the invigilator is still looking at you
and now its getting REEEEEAAALLLYYYYY RREEEEAALLLYY awkward.

SOLUTION: Ask that invigilator a really complicated question to make your self feel smarter and scare him/her away from your area of the room.
WARNING: This could go wrong.

Okay, question: What sort of questions are we allowed to ask invigilators?
I see people here asking all the time, but in my high school there was a strict no-asking rule (because I did the A-Levels, similar to IB). So I keep wondering if I'm missing out on something by just sitting tight.
