I don't hold back, if there's anything that confuses me, my hand goes straight up.
Most of the time though, they just say that the professor won't be stopping by anymore

For example, there was a question on my exam yesterday that asked:
Q) BTEX levels compared to DO were: (a) higher (b) identical (c) lower
I couldn't answer this question since the values of both varied depending on the stage of the study, so I held my hand up for 20 mins until the professor reached me (and apparently everyone was asking this question because the prof answered me before I even asked him).

I actually like the guy who gives the speech at the beginning. I've had him for almost every exam in my 5 years at Mac. It's oddly comforting?
I hate when people come in late and don't even know where to sit, so they ask the inviglator right infront of me while I'm writing. It's very distracting.
Like someone else said, when you're done early and you can't leave until 45 minutes are up. It's awkward just sitting there doing nothing, and I'm always scared the invigilators will be suspicious of me. :/

OOooh, that makes sense, right. That's good to know, I'd probably have just guessed, which would have lost me marks...LOL. THanks. |

Uh, after injection, BTEX levels would be lower because you've injected oxygen and lowered the BTEX level...right? Lmao
