Posted: 14:39 - 16 Jan 2020 Post subject: Exam invigilator |
|
|
Anybody here done this? I've just been for an interview to do part time invigilation and I can't work out if it is too good to be true. What the college said is that if I get the job, I can take a laptop in and do other work at the same time, provided I keep an ear out for whispering and walk up and down every 15 minutes.
If this is a true representation of what an invigilator can do, it means I can do the office-based element of my usual work whilst being paid an additional £8.25 an hour for the pleasure of doing it in the same room as 30 silent, scribbling individuals, rather than working with just the dog and t'internet for company. There is a bit of setting up beforehand and collecting papers afterwards, but other than that I can do two paid jobs at once.
There has to be a catch because in life everything has one. Anybody know what it is? All I can think of is that I can't listen to music, make a brew or fart loudly... ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

Wifie used to be Exams officer in her school and therefore in charge of hiring, firing and overseeing he invigilators.
All I can say is she used to moan like fcuk about them quite often because they could have exams cancelled due to invigilators not following the rules exactly and when that was GCSE's the sh1t would hit the fan.
Exam papers are kept under lock and key until issued in the exam room and collected straight after the exam and there are very strict rules about handling them.
Also, at her school, nothing was allowed into the exam room that wasn't there for the exams including invigilators phones or laptops. In other words nothing that could remotely set you up as cheating for someone, so in her school you certainly couldn't carry on with your own work.
Someone wants the loo? You have to call a second or even 3rd invigilator to escort them because depending on the size of the exam there are a certain number of invigilators.
Then the same sex invigilator has to escort the pupil because you have to check the cubicle before they use it and wait outside. (especially for external exams).
Oh yes, if you can't keep order, and there will be the odd little scrote who can just about write his name and nothing else and wants to disrupt things, you won't last long. You aren't allowed to beat them into submission.
Anything specific you want to know, just say what and I'll ask her when she gets in tonight. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

I've just read the JCQ rules, which accord with your good lady's experience. The woman who interviewed me said that when invigilating she takes her own work in, so it may depend upon the governing body for the particular exam - either that or the interviewer was telling porkies!
I thought it was too good to be true

On the plus side, I bet you occasionally have to deal with someone who flips the fuck out. That would add some interest to the monotony.
One thing I remember from one of my first university exams was the invigilator coming up to me at the end and telling me I was holding my breath when thinking intently, then hyperventilating afterwards. Which is probably unhelpful. He suggested I should chew gum in future exams. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

I was being too clever with this one - thinking I could get paid for sitting in a room full of sweaty puberts, whilst using that time for my other work. Money for nothing if you like.... ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

Couldn't even read a book, really.
...cos you're supposed to be looking out for people putting their hands up when they need help.

The College has responded to my email asking for clarity. It does adhere to JCQ rules, so I couldn't read a book/do some other work/watch internet porn or whatever.
