Haven’t seen one of these, so I thought I’d make one. How do you guys think the test went?

hey! so I was wondering, does your proctor go around the room during your break and mark which questions you didn’t bubble in>

I dont think so?? That would be kinda weird

oh ok cause ours did…

@blue19 You should report that to your school’s principal, because that is CHEATING on behalf of the proctor to help make the school look better. Don’t say it here… but do you know the name of your proctor, and if so, please report it to the guidance counselor or your principal.

our whole school does this though, to like make sure we didn’t go back later and fill those in

Is the proctor marking the questions on the test booklet or on the answer sheet? That will make a significant difference. If it is in the booklet, then there’s nothing wrong with that, since your guidance counselor will keep those booklets locked away until she receives your results. If it is on the bubble sheets themselves, then there’s a problem.

Overall, I thought the test went fairly well. Certain areas were obviously more difficult than others, but it wasn’t exceptionally terrible IMO.

@midtntutor they had a sheet of paper and they went around writing on it to see which ones each person missed

Can proctors open a student’s answer document once the test is over and they have collected it?

@blue19
They are not supposed to open any student answer sheet to protect students’ answers and to prevent cheating.

Are you positive?

@blue19 There are VERY specific protocols involving answer sheets, and if they aren’t being followed at your school, then that’s a shame. I would still ask the principal/guidance counselor about it in the morning before this gets blown up into something bigger than it really is.

yes of course, thank you so much. I will handle it accordingly
