Sealing your exam booklet

LilMissCiara

After the maths exam I was obviously stressed..! :P

For some reason rather than fold the thing over and stick it I tore almost all of it off! It's only sealed at the bottom for a few inches... The supervisor said it was ok but it looks tampered with..!

Help..?! :O

I wouldn't worry, I'm sure it happens regularly.

It'll be fine. You should see the state some of them are in by the time they reach the correctors.

I hate sealing my paper at the end, it always feels like the moment when I've forgotten something vital!

And the extra paper doesn't fit properly so you have to kind of bend the end and stuff it in! :L

I accidently forgot to write "Paper 1" in English on Wednesday where it says "Subject".
Would that be a problem? (I wrote "Paper 2" yesterday)

I had a huge issue with my geography one.... it wouldn't fold over properly with all the paper in it, so, only a TINY edge of the paper is sealed, the rest is the exposed sticky bit....

I have visions of my paper now being stuck to someone elses, or opening :-/

Did any ones examiners tell you not to use the little string thing to link the booklets? I asked for one for my english and I was told they were an examiners nightmare and they extra pages would be fine inside the sealed booklet

I sealed my english paper 1 wrong on wednesday I didn't see the seal so I folded the sticky bit over for some reason :S.

My examiner gave us all out those string things for loose pages and told use we had yo use it..

That is so true. Today in maths after sealing my booklet there was like 30 mins left so i couldnt leave and i got bored so i started re-reading the paper and i realised that i hadnt written down the units of measurement so i had to carefully lift the pages up and get my pen in there to write them in.. does the job :L

I gave it a little tug and it was fairly stiff in there so I'd say (hope) it will be grand. Unless the corrector starts throwing the scripts around ill be ok :P

They all go into an envelope anyway and stay there until some hot July day when an examiner opens it to correct..! :P Should be safe!

Read that as "selling your exam booklet" cause the writing on my phone is small. Got my hopes up there;) haha
