My proctor's phone went off...

<p>...as in, someone called her and her phone volume was still turned up. She also incorrectly called time not once, but twice, once when we had 10 minutes left in a section and once with 5 minutes. I was done with my work by that time but it was still jarring and probably worse for the people who weren't done. I didn't want to ask her how to file a complaint for obvious reasons; does anyone know how to do that or if I SHOULD do that? It seems like a pretty serious offense on her part, but I don't want everyone's score to get cancelled or anything, because I for one thought I did really well. Thanks!</p>

<p>Hmm, I’m not sure if I’d take it up with the school or whatnot. Anyways, you could call the collegeboard and without identifying anything explain what happened, and I’d ask if scores could get cancelled. If they siad maybe I’d abort the call, but otherwise it could be useful.</p>

<p>If they have such harsh penalties for students’ phones going off, they better have a rule for teachers’ phones.</p>

<p>Anyways, you can notify the College Board about this:

Scroll down to “Test Center Complaints”</p>

<p>Are testing centers usually very strict on watches beeping and whatnot? Because today there was this girl with a timer thing that kept on dinging every few minutes or so. Kind of annoying and distracting, but not too big a deal (for me at least).</p>

<p>Should the proctor have thrown her out?</p>

<p>Well, since noisy watches are sort of prohibited in the pre-test instructions, I’d say yes. One kid in my testing though said about his watch “It only beeps once at the beginning” and that was deemed okay. The proctor should have told her after one section though to stop it.</p>
