<p>So. We're not allowed to discuss the actual test yet. But we can talk about the proctors. They're not really questions, right?</p>
<p>Mine was .. really nice. And actually allowed us to talk during breaks. She caught two kids cheating, though. Which was.. awesome. Definitely better than my nazi-SATII proctor.</p>
<p>So, how was yours? Anything funny/outlandish in your settings?</p>
<p>well 1st off i took the SAT in the ghetto school of my city…
my proctor let us eat DURING the test lmao. one kid ****in got up during the math section and was like “i got cheeto cheddar cheese crumbs all over my sheet, can i get a new one?” and then the proctor said no more food, even tho he was the only one eating lmao…</p>
<p>when we were writing the certification statement my proctor wanted to see how good we were in cursive.</p>
<p>most were terrible, i thought mine was, then she holds my test up and she’s like THIS IS HOW YOU ALL SMART KIDS SHOULD WRITE… she was really mean to our class in general. it was as if she was implying that people who can’t write in cursive are dumb or something -.-</p>
<p>Hahahaha, oh my god proctor stories, this thread was made for me</p>
<p>I up late and so I was taking this test in like a very inner-city area. During a break, i heard my proctor telling a story of how he had stole $110 from a bunch of kids that were gambling on the floor in the boys bathroom. He was like, “What the hell they gonna do? Tell somebody?”</p>
<p>He kept leaving the room during the test, several kids went back and forth through sections and I think one kid tried to use a dictionary</p>
<p>My proctor was very affable and understanding. I’ve never had a proctor that would alert us of the amount of time remaining, several times. It really helped since the clock was in such an awkward position.</p>
<p>The last time I took the SAT, they didn’t have enough books for the room. I had to sit in what they called an “overflow room”. There were only three of us, including the proctor that appeared to have a hangover.</p>
<p>Basically - a proctor that runs the room like a dictator. No one is allowed to talk; eat, drink, etc out of break times; if you look at the person next to you, they’ll probably scream at you. </p>
<p>The one I had was a complete pig. “IF YOU SAY ONE MORE WORD, I WILL TAKE YOUR TEST AWAY AND CLAIM YOU CHEATED!!!” I think she was just jealous that everyone in the room was smart. And that she is a teacher. So, it was probably a jealousy/intimidating factor.</p>
<p>my proctor was sweet too. she’s the AP calc teacher and she put [Online</a> Stopwatch](<a href=“http://www.online-stopwatch.com%5DOnline”>http://www.online-stopwatch.com) on the projector screen so we could see the time remaining on the smartboard. other than that, no one cheated and she was pretty nice about letting us leave the room during breaks</p>
<p>During our second break, my friends and I were snacking. I asked my friend if I could have his extra water bottle, then the proctor pops out of nowhere and goes “NO TALKING DURING TEST!!” (with a Russian accent)…</p>
<p>During the test, she stared at me for almost the whole test, suspecting that I’d break the rule in some way…</p>
<p>I almost got kicked out,</p>
<p>Aren’t Canadian proctors supposed to be less strict? Last time I went to Buffalo to do the test, the proctors seemed pretty lax (almost negligent)…</p>
<p>Hahaha me too! In addition to speaking REALLY slowly (and with a Spanish accent lol), she read the directions really emphatically. HELLO! WELCOME! DO NOT EAT! Ugh… and she got really ****ed when some girl was bubbling after section 8. Overall, not really a good proctor. I preferred my ACT one, seeing as she baked muffins for us in case anyone forgot a snack! c:</p>
