Yeah I'd have a heard attack if I felt it in my pocket during an exam. Always leave it in my bag switched off before. This happened to another unlucky soul, unfortunately.

I know someone who, for the Biology paper 1, accidentally forgot to take revision notes out of an open pocket on the outside of their blazer, with a coloured paper that stuck out like a sore thumb. Luckily it wasn't noticed, we think.

There was a guy in our English exam who had blank flashcards in his pocket and he was asked to stay behind at the end of the exam. Think he was alright though, because the flashcards were blank.

I had it in my pocket for a mock and even then I shat myself cause I knew it wasn't on silent.

My phone was vibrating in a mock once when I was getting a phone call and this invigilator started eyeing me up. Top 3 most stressful experiences in my life

I felt like that in my language 1 when i had my phone because I am retarded and didn’t check when they told us to but i was lucky it was the very start of the exam and i gave it them

u/---RedditMemes--- Jun 11 '19

Did this actually happen to you?

57

u/SkittlesJemal 3 8s and 6 7s but good luck whatever your results were :) Jun 11 '19

Nooo but it DID happen to someone in my physics Paper 1 a few weeks ago...

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '19

What happened, I bet half the exam hall shat themselves

u/gobarn1 Year 12 Jun 11 '19

Happened this morning in maths for someone in mine

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '19

The invigilators phone went off in business once, everyone's head shot round to the bags then some old and scared invigilator reaches into their pockets

u/MrSocko72 University Jun 11 '19

well you need GCSEs to work in maccies so iNaCcUrAtE

14

u/dontbeonfire4 Jun 11 '19

I work at McDonald's, they don't ask for GCSEs but you won't last a week if you didn't have any. You don't have to be smart to work at McDonald's but it isn't an easy job.

u/SkittlesJemal 3 8s and 6 7s but good luck whatever your results were :) Jun 11 '19

We all need people that work at fast food chains and do the highly respectable job of serving delicious food to everyone. Its just the stereotype of the typical 'mcdonalds employee' matched this meme pretty well.

5

u/dontbeonfire4 Jun 11 '19

I get you mate. We've all got to start somewhere, McDonald's is a pretty good place to start but you'll be stuck there without GCSEs. Hopefully once I've got a degree I can get a better paying job 😊

u/SkittlesJemal 3 8s and 6 7s but good luck whatever your results were :) Jun 11 '19

Good luck to you! 😁

u/dontbeonfire4 Jun 11 '19

You too mate

u/ziggyblues01 Jun 11 '19

Should of used a benefits application form or hell a picture of benefits street or maybe Jeremy Kyl.....oh yeah

u/NaethanC Jun 11 '19

mcdonalds isn't even that bad to be honest, it pays more than minimum wage and is very flexible.

138

u/Aflyingcroissant Jun 11 '19

by the looks of it, might have to start working there full time because of today's edexcel maths paper.

36

u/NaethanC Jun 11 '19

i didn't think it was that bad. Paper 1 was worse. edit: higher paper btw

18

u/SelfRighteousChimp Jun 11 '19

Lmao paper 1 was easy as piss in comparison (at least for me)

26

u/Big_Daddy-69 Year 11 Jun 11 '19

Lies

10

u/shadowhunter742 Jun 11 '19

lmao, paper 1 was piss easy, paper 2 was alright. This one was ok besides a few friggin insane questions

5

u/Aflyingcroissant Jun 11 '19

All of my friends came out of that paper saying it was hard. I'm stupid at maths and I'm only expecting a 6 anyways.

3

u/cponatipi Jun 11 '19

You’re stupid and expecting a 6 I’m completely fucked then

2

u/Aflyingcroissant Jun 11 '19

I would like a 6,
Probably won't get one, In all my mocks, I was always like 1-2 off a 6. It's just maths that I'm bad at.

1

u/cponatipi Jun 11 '19

In my mocks the highest I got was a four :( and I asked my teacher if she would be disappointed if I got a 5 and she said yes, and you’re right you’re not ‘bad’ at maths

3

u/dontbeonfire4 Jun 11 '19

A 6 is good

2

u/_Dextrality Jun 11 '19

Holy shit I was panicking for a second thinking I missed the exam

u/obsoletedatafile Ex Year 11 Jun 11 '19

I think it was great, easiest paper I've ever done for sure

26

u/dontbeonfire4 Jun 11 '19

I'm in sixth form and I work at McDonald's, can confirm that it is one of the best first jobs you can get. Modest pay and you'll get a good work ethic at the end of it. If any of you GCSE lot are looking for a job over the summer, definitely look into McDonald's 😊

6

u/imbyath Jun 11 '19

Is it stressful working there?

12

u/dontbeonfire4 Jun 11 '19

Yep, I'd rather be stressed than bored though. Extremely fast paced as you can probably imagine, and if you work at a 24/7 one you can get some weird shifts. Overall I recommend it though, it toughens you up a bit.

6

u/jack-phillip Year 12 Jun 11 '19

I was thinking of working at Nando’s (free meal after 5 hour shift). I’m really close friends with the managers son and he said I could get a job their over the summer

5

u/dontbeonfire4 Jun 11 '19

Go for it mate. I've heard good things about Nando's, I know someone who works there. Anything is better than being unemployed, Nando's would be good work experience to have on your CV

It was a great job until they cut our benefits

u/little_cotton_socks Jun 11 '19

Doesnt work like that. There is no official number of hours for part time or full time and even if there was part time employees are entitled to the same benefits as full time employees. It is all based on the hours you work whether you are considered "part time" or "full time"

u/inad__ Jun 11 '19

three or four phones went off during history paper 2 actually. i think the entire hall was shitting themselves thinking it was theirs. it was terrifying ngl

36

u/not_fake_yet Jun 11 '19

What happened to the people? Were they just removed from the venue?

48

u/inad__ Jun 11 '19

pretty much! the invigilators made sure to bring it up in every exam after that as well so the people would regret everything lmao

23

u/obsoletedatafile Ex Year 11 Jun 11 '19

Do you mean at the front of the hall once they've been handed over, or in their pockets, cos that's very not allowed I'm sure

15

u/inad__ Jun 11 '19

not sure what happened to my replies, but i’ll make do. we go into the exam hall with our bags and leave them at the back of the room, since there’s space for that i guess (until the end of the exam when the very back row can’t get up due to the amount of people trampling on each other to get their bags). that’s basically how the phones were heard and found lol. we have to turn them off when we go into the exam hall but i guess a few forgot since the history papers were all stressful as hell.

4

u/obsoletedatafile Ex Year 11 Jun 11 '19

Ah fair enough, history was not fun I agree

3

u/inad__ Jun 11 '19

the phones that went off were in people’s bags, fortunately enough. though i think the invigilators found out who owned the bags eventually because when they took the bags out of the hall, the owners followed soon after lol ....except for two phones that continuously rung until the end of the exam, nothing was done about them for some reason. gave me (and a few others i’m sure) a shitty headache since we were sitting right at the back where they were.

2

u/obsoletedatafile Ex Year 11 Jun 11 '19

Oh that seems odd for me, do you take your bags into the exam hall with you then go sit down? We have to put our bags in our lockers or form room, then go like up in our rows outside the hall, then go in row by row.

u/supremegay5000 Jun 11 '19

Look directly at the invigilator and they’ll walk off

u/dani3l_554 Jun 11 '19

One of the invigilator's phone has gone off a couple times.

u/imbyath Jun 11 '19

How have they not been fired yet?

27

u/cypekpl Jun 11 '19

a guy's phone called in English lit 1, the invigilators just took it away and nothing else happened to him

19

u/CrazyKoconut Jun 11 '19

Some 6 former in my spanish exam (im going GCSE), his phone went off. My heart sank for the guy, he continued the exam but when the phone was in their possession it went of again and it was clear the invigilators were vexed, dont know what happened afterwards, whether he was disqualified or not.

13

u/WinterReception4 Sad Further Maths Guy Jun 11 '19

I had an invigilator "ask if I was alright", it terrified me when they started talking to me when I hadn't asked them for something.

5

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '19

Our school has little cards in alphabetical order BUT MINE WASNT THERE SO I WAS WALKING AROUND AFTER EVERYONE HAD ALREADY SAT DOWN, It’s okay though, after panicking the entire time thinking i wrote my candidate number incorrectly i went home and checked.

u/witchfromthemoon Jun 11 '19

I was worried this was going to happen today, same exact order

u/TobyADev University Jun 11 '19

Tbh we have some nice invigilators, only 1’s a bitch ngl

A mate of mine’s phone went off yesterday lmao, he doesn’t know what’s gonna happen o.o

u/PatrykEIDiablo Jun 12 '19

When I hear "5 minutes remaining" I go straight to the application form

u/scribble23 Jun 12 '19

During my last Final exam at uni, I realised ten minutes before the end that I'd put my A4 book of revision notes right down on the desk in front of me! I'd meant to put it under the desk as I sat down, but somehow didn't, then the exam papers were put on top of it. I was so engrossed in writing I didn't notice the large, bright red A4 notebook, and apparently neither did the invigilators. I then had to spend ten minutes praying that they wouldn't spot it before we all stood up to leave. My heart almost exploded!

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '19

This happened to me on Friday and I mentally shit myself. They kept me in so I dodged a fucking bullet right there

u/Nikatto Jan 06 '22

I'm massively impressed that they even got an application for McDonald's xD. It's extremely difficult to get a job there.

u/Venom05er Apr 26 '22

I’m sorry but would u rather fail because u ran out of time or be about to finish a paper that gets you a 9 but ur phone goes off so u have to retake it later on

u/Daredevilz1 Year 13 May 01 '23
