    I'm repeating and last year we were assigned seats but from reading topics here it looks like some places let you sit where you want...so can you sit where you want in some/most places?

    You'll find out when you get there.

    Usually seats are assigned in order of numbers, as it makes it easier for the superintendent to draw the map of the room indicating where everyone sat, but I suppose in a small centre you could sit where you want.

    The seats are assigned by name and class order. When you go in whatever seat you are assigned you'll have for all exams.

    If you find something close to your seat is really irritating, ask to be moved.

    I once taught a boy who had mild epilepsy and the shadow of a tree branch outside the window waving back and forth across his exam paper was making him feel like he was going to have an episode, so we moved him.

    Within reason, you should be comfortable sitting the exam and distracted as little as possible.

    We were organised by alphabetical order for the Junior Cert so I assume the same will be done.

    I would've done so but it wasn't a problem after the first five minutes of English. They just filled the bucket catching the water with tissue so I didn't notice it after that! It did end up leaking on someone's paper though after we switched seats for another exam. They probably should've just avoided using that table altogether.

    Fixing the leak might have been a good idea too! >_>

    Dunno why they didn't think of that! :pac:

    Ah it's part of the school now though, it's been there for at least three or four years now, wouldn't be the same without it! <3 :P
