Invigilation 7:13 AM

Preparing students for the GCE exam is important. Remind students to observe all the rules & regulations for the exam is to train them to become integrity & responsible citizens. At the same time, if they discipline themselves is an considerate action to the others.
Read 'Intrductions' before start answering questions on the paper is equally important. Still
handful of students just too keen to give their answers & didn't realise that they had to use a 'fresh sheet' of paper for each question (some thought that using a fresh page instead). I believe that letting them to read the instructions by themselves but give them full attention during the exam. Once I realized that they didn't observe the 'instructions', I would write on the white board to remind them. I think this is one way to train them as during the GCE exam, candidates have to read the instructions by themselves. Invigilators will not read for them. As a teacher, I set a role model myself by observing all the rules set for the invilators staightly. I don't interprete questions/ words/ terms for students as this is the responsiblity and rights for the setter. Of course, we don't trouble the setter if we see that there is no mistake but students ability of understanding the questions.
Be an integrity & responsible citizen--To share with students always.

Certainly so. We have to uphold the integrity of exams, whether internal or external, at all times. Familiarising our pupils with how exams are being conducted prepares them for their eventual sitting of graduating exams.
