The most pro-exam
Last Friday I had my most pro examination by a most pro invigilator. In case you don't know, pro refers to 'someone who has done a good job'. Yes, the most 'good job' exam. Ha.
Firstly, it was a music examination, and there were only 8 of us, so we took it in the music room, with each candidate sitting apart from each other in a 4X2 manner. Our music teacher had written a whole chunk of notes that filled the board several metres wide a few weeks before the exam, but the invigilator(another music teacher) didn't seem to notice. So we started the exam with the notes. AND finished with them still on the board.
Secondly, the invigilator was READING the notes halfway through the exam. He was just staring at the board...the walked up to it. I thought he realized his mistake. BUT no, he went behind and fiddled around with some of his note chimes or bells or something like that. We just didn't know what he was doing.
Thirdly. There was this air-con in the music room that produced a 'clak-clak' noise everytime we switched it on, so we didn't. The air-cons were those that were flat and on the ceiling, like a square. Soon after halfway of the paper somebody knocked on the door. It was somebody but we couldn't see who as the invigilator spoke to him. Then we saw it was somebody to fix the air-con. If it was our music teacher he would have chased them out. BUT no, instead, the invigilator pointed to the spoilt aircon and welcomed them in.
What was worse, the air-con was above my head at that time.
I was asked to move by the invigilator. I couldn't believe it. Was that an examination or not? More like a joke test. That's why it's the most pro exam I've ever had.
AND honestly, I wouldn't want anymore of this. Well, unless the notes are formulae, because the Music notes didn't help me much. I knew most of them anyways, but sometimes a bit of help is good. haha.
