***Official December 9 ACT Bad Proctors Thread****

<p>Unfortunately, my proctor told me I could not use a watch even though it did not make a sound. This seriously crippled my chances at a high score for the R and S sections where time is a crucial factor.</p>

<p>What about you guys?</p>

<p>i had to throw away my cookies because "no food was allowed in the test room" pff</p>

<p>my proctor kept opening the classroom door and yelling to other teachers across the hall with their doors open as well.</p>

<p>also my proctor thought a legal calculator for this other kid in my class was illegal and wasted a good 5-8 minutes of his time on math</p>

<p>zomg some girl asked "does the act penalize guessing". I answered since the proctor didnt know it and the bastard yelled at me for "interrupting" him</p>

<p>one kid raised his hand and told the proctor he wasnt supposed to take the writting, she look at his thing and said yes you are it says "act with writting", little did she know that box had to be shadded dark to include writting.</p>

<p>(jimmu writing only has one T)</p>

<p>some kid used a Ti-89 calc. i doubt the proctor knew what a prohibited calculator was.</p>

<p>Were we allowed to use calculator programs on our exam?</p>

<p>i saw tonnes of people using Ti-89's ...my frnd did it too</p>

<p>if u did not have the TI-89 or TI-92 or any other prohibited calculators..then yes..u could use any programs u had</p>

<p>my proctor yelled at a kid for a good 3 minutes in the middle of the science... like I needed any distraction on that one. And she was just annoying. I asked her if we had to write the statement in cursive and she said no. I said, "the instructions say 'copy the statement...do not print'" and she said "then why did you ask me?" grrr. So then I threw her out the window.</p>

<p>"So then I threw her out the window" :D</p>

<p>Eh, nothing exciting happened in my class. The only downside to my ACT experience was that I could barely see the clock (i saw it from a weird angle so i had to guess the time)....I didn't want to risk bringing in a watch and have it go off just in case.</p>

<p>our protor kept walking in circles, examining the room. And because she was really fat, when ever she passed my table, she had to squeeze though by jerking my desk. This happened about 7 times per section. 5 out of those times she actually jerked my hand when I was filling the bubbles.</p>

<p>Okay so i was blazing along, until i was at number 29 in reading. I reached a crisis! I erasaed through my paper! It ripped! So i talked to them and they said dont worry, they would bring me a new sheet... So im done with reading and i finish science.... I feel like im on my way to the perfect 36! they come back and give me a new bubble sheet... They say your lucky we are giving you one! we shouldnt even let you do this, time is up! you are going to have to work on this during your writing time! i almost cried! i had to fill out random answers because they wouldnt let me see the other sheet! i couldnt redo the whole thing! Then i had 15 minutes for possible the easiest essay ever! What is more disturbing is that the teacher was playing music during the test! WORST TEST EXPERIENCE EVER! WHAT SHOULD I DO?! Message me on aim dkornruns</p>

<p>My proctor came 15 minutes late, so we didn't even ENTER the room until 8:15. Then she just sits there eating her complementary donuts the whole time, never even keeping track of the time, until someone has to tell her time is up. Soooo annoying.</p>

<p>If My Proctors Were As Bad As The Above Two, I Woulda Busted A Cap All Up In Their Grill And Eaten All Their Complementary Donuts.</p>

<p>how is that annoying, i love proctors who lose track of time.. I remember last year everyone had 120mins to do the Calc BC MCs.</p>

<p>What should i do?</p>

<p>"one kid raised his hand and told the proctor he wasnt supposed to take the writting, she look at his thing and said yes you are it says "act with writting", little did she know that box had to be shadded dark to include writting."</p>

<p>Waaaiiiit...we had to fill in a bubble for ACT with writing if we were taking the writing test?</p>

<p>My proctor never had me do that >=(</p>

<p>I was at a public school that had clocks with no second hand and where the minute hand doesn't click forward until the entire minute is finished. So my proctor writes the starting time for the section on the board, and as soon she writes it, the clock clicks forward a minute, meaning that she wrote that we started a minute earlier than we actually did. She should have waited for the clock to change minutes before letting us start!</p>

<p>This sounds insignificant, but this was for the reading section and I ended up having to rush the last few question questions, which I wouldn't have to have done if I got the extra minute I deserved. Her stupid mistake could easily cost me some points off my score.</p>
