Ours were Win Pcs. Our technician said that the exam was delayed for
approximately 20 minutes because of the corrupt files.
It was very disruptive to our students who are mostly rural and had to
arrange for transport anyway considering the already late starting time
of the exam. He can't determine what happened, but he said that when he
re-loaded the files onto the machines they worked the second time.

had corrupt files and the technician had to swap the students to spare
exam computers.<br>It was a little disruptive.<br>I was hoping the exam
supervisor would mention this on the report.<br>It appears the problem
may have extended beyond our college. I am now think is worth providing
information about the nature of the problem to VCAA.<br><br>Chris

<br>>Are they kidding? I'm glad a student mentioned that the start
code<br>was<br>"peanut" or I would still be here trying to get it going.
In my opinion<br>it's<br>a good exam, not difficult, suits my students
well, but if I had a<br>group of<br>high-flyers I would be disappointed
that they couldn't strut their<br>stuff<br>better, especially with the
animation. What do others think??<br>>Marian<br>><br>>Important
