lmao outdoors exams what the hell

 

[cloud_berry]

Imagine a rainy/windy day.

the mental image of everyone running after their exam papers after a gust of wind

 

[tito981]

they should host it at your local highschool, get to meet the neighbours for once.

Neither wind nor rain will be a problem as the exams will be on stone tablets and you'll have a hammer and chisel to fill in answers.

Since essay writing will be slower, the English exams will now be 48 hours in length. Electrodes will be attached to each student to give electric shocks to prevent sleeping, so no one will be disadvantaged.

Also, to avoid the potential unfairness caused by some being less familiar with ancient technologies, the appropriate mindset will be fostered by presenting all exams in Latin.

Inb4 it rains on the paper.

I remember one year we had torrential rain and the roof leaked on the front row of one of the HSC trials for mathematics absolutely drenching students and the exam papers so they had to give people unlimited time, and replacement exam papers because they fell apart. Pop-up outdoor tents may be an option though?

There have been proposals that the HSC exams will be held outdoors this year. What are everyone's thoughts on this?

If the proposal to hold the HSC exams outside ends up not happening I'd imagine a shit ton of COVID precautions, like a beefed up version of how NESA handled it in 2020. Masks, sanitiser, social distanced desks, rapid antigen testing, temperature checks before a student is permitted to enter the examination room, etc.. (You get the point)

they’re so determined for the hsc but won’t give us a formal hmmmm

 

[Life'sHard]

Formal seems a lot more unnecessary in comparison to the HSC.

 

[dighead]

they’re so determined for the hsc but won’t give us a formal hmmmm

Are you actually equating the two?

Alright, have fun with your formal, and see you back here next year since you'd prefer to have a formal rather than sitting the HSC and going to uni.

 

[cloud_berry]

i was being sarcastic lol

 

[dighead]

Lol fair enough. Got bamboozled.

 

[qwertywerido]
