Testing out automod ignore this post

So, there I was, sitting at my desk in the hall and getting ready to do my Spanish listening. The audio starts playing and they say the usual "You now have 5 minutes to read through the exam".

I proceed to do this and then when the recording for the questions started, some of the most atrocious sounds started coming from the speakers. The hall is very big so this max volume muffled deep speech was being blasted from the speakers and echoed into my ears. The invigilators turn down the volume but the audio was still muffled and I could barely understand what they were saying.

I somehow did question 1 and 2 with this muffled audio but then the invigilators said that they will pause the exam and that we have to close out exam papers. I then sat there for 1 HOUR after which maintenance arrived and still spent like 20 minutes fixing everything and testing the audio. They were playing the next questions so I was already thinking of what to put down for my answers as I open the paper again.

However, when the sound was fixed after about 1.5 hours they started the exam all over again with the 5 minutes prep time at the start, so in total our exam was like 1h 15mins instead of the 1 hour which it was meant to be.

at the end the invigilators said that we had 15 mins extra than the normal given time.

Basically the 1 hour exam turned into a 2h 45mins exam which was soo tiring.

Oh em gee I nearly cried at him I’m not gonna miss the place but gosh I’ll miss some of the people…only three exams left🥹🥹

Maths revision is so boring im just gonna revise chemistry

I can see this subreddit in 5 years time being a hub for uni, a level, as level and apprenticeship students and js young ppl in general. Post 16 is far less specific than 2028 a levels so we will have input from many ppl. It might even become a place where students abroad can ask queries. Also, when are we getting the OG flair 🥺

Im glazing

User flairs FULLY CUSTOMISABLE WITH DIFFERENT COLOURS FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE (for better recognition)

You can now apply your own user flair, just don't change the original year groups but words/sentences/emojis can be added to your flair!

-Mod team

Edit - OG flairs applied, if you want any changes to the flair just send a mod mail

I lowkey didnt want to look jobless on my profile saying im a reddit mod so i removed myself from mod and it will get deleted for being unmoderated in a few days. anyways if people feel the need to have it they can start it back up themselves

one slight problem i see with marketing the sub towards uni rather to basically just 15-18 is that the experiences are vastly different and half the sub wont care about the other half anyways just a thought
