<p>My proctor was so lazy that she sat at the computer for 90% of sections.
I could have cheated and she would never have noticed. Although, I accidentally turned to the 1st section before time ever started… :(</p>
<p>I also think the timer she used docked a minute off of our time. That would really stink, because every second counts when careless errors in M are made. :(</p>
<p>What about your proctors?</p>
<p>well, my proctor may have been bad… I don’t know. I just pluggedin myi ear plugs and the world faded away. It was only my PSAT and I.</p>
<p>don’t you find year plugs uncomfortable when they fully expand?
Plus, a study has shown that humming sounds and other repetitive noises(keyboard clicking, in particular)can actually enhance one’s performance.</p>
<p>^^^lol…</p>
<p>yeah, it might improve one’s score if his score was originally a 154, but I doubt that such distractions eventuallly help anyone. It’s like how people say studying with music helps people concentrate. Yes, that is true, if you are normally an ADD person and slightly ■■■■■■■■. Silence, without distractions, is the only time when one can truely think.</p>
<p>Yeah, I guess you are right. My original point is that the discomfort of earplugs actually offset theur advantage by causing even more distractions. Don’t they bother you?
I am talking about the larger ones(33dB).</p>
<p>my proctor would NOT let me go to the bathroom…i asked to go during the break between sections 2 and 3 and she said no…</p>
<p>finally after section 4 i was about to burst so i walked across the room to ask the other proctor…but that proctor made me go back to my seat and wait to hear the directions…i didnt even think they were supposed to read them to you?..so i had to wait until the writing section actually started to go instead of going during a break.</p>
<p>and the 5 minute announcer proctor wore her mic the entire time…we could hear her breathing throughout the test…</p>
