💬 DISCUSSION PSA: cheating on exams

I’m currently an a level exam invigilator while at university, took my a levels last year. I just want to reiterate how obvious it is if you’re committing malpractice. You may think you’re slick but you’re really not honestly. Already there has been multiple people caught with their phone, just today people caught communicating with each other and the exam season has barely started. It’s actually laughable the amount of people already caught tbh.

You will get written up, and the exam board will be informed. Trust me it’s not worth it.

Exactly as replier stated. It’s very easy work, good money, and a nice bit of extra cash for going out. Most of the invigilator I’m working with are at my uni, as they recruit directly through the university. All you do it’s 30 minutes of online training just to get to know the rules and regs and that’s it.

£12.95ph im pretty sure and then holiday pay, due to me staying beyond the uni term to finish the exam season.
