outside waiting for them from 5:10pm! However, we do have a policy that students
can’t leave the Year 10 and Year 11 exams before time and I think it has
carried over into Year 12 as very few, if any students leave any of the VCE
Exams before time. Maybe early training is the way to go? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

doesn’t correlate. The IPM exam seems to be written so that the slowest

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>To my horror, only three students came out of the
examination room. I gave a friendly high-five to congratulate their success but
my heart sank. The examiner caught my frantic look and gestured me over to say
that the bulk had left only just before the 5 min deadline. (phew) I had made
all sorts of hollow threats and bribes for my students to stay to the end. Each
year I wonder if I could better reinforce my examination technique. Thank you
everybody, I have made good use of all the practice activities, websites and
resources everybody. <br>
<br>
My heart lifted afterwards when a colleague and I looked over the paper
afterwards to try and guess the dog biscuit award that Mark might dish out. We
laughed off all our problems, wished our students the best then jointly filled
the round filing cabinet with practice examinations and notes that will never
be picked up. <br>
