No time warnings in last 15 minutes

warning, clock, telling, minutes, because
WTF. At least give us a 2 minute warning. 100% of all cases where the candidate keeps writing is because they didn't know time was going to be called. A simple 2 minute warning, will most likely eliminate 99% of these "infractions".

I had my watch, but if I forgot the watch, then I would be so tempted to just stop writing 5 minutes after the 15 minute warning is called because there's no telling how much time you have. There was no clock in the room too.

I agree! I missed filling in one bubble cause I erased it and was about to change it when they called time.

same thing happened to me, so frustrating the one blank bubble just staring at me while the proctors came around and collected my test. The worst part is you know 75% of the people would have filled in that fcking bubble but we played is straight, hopefully karma works in our favor.

Yeah, is it too much to ask that they require clocks in the rooms they book? Or is it really that hard for the proctors to flip a few more sheets on the easel that tell you there is one minute left, or two minutes left.

If I'm paying $700 to take a test in 2011, I don't think it's too much to ask for technology from the dark ages to be available.

I always set my watch 2-3 minutes ahead of the start time so I have a built-in buffer. Makes you a little less paranoid at the end. I never looked up once to see the "time sheets" flipping over since the proctors didn't always seem to be precise about rolling them over.

There was a little digital clock one one side of our convention hall which was barely visible at a distance. That was the first time in three tries there was any semblance of a clock.

I think they purposely remove the clocks from the rooms. They don't want the idiots complaining about getting 14 less seconds because they started the exam at 9:00:14 and ended it at 12:00:00 on the dot.

I made sure I had every bubble filled in when they gave the final 15 minutes warning and then just went back and reviewed the questions I didn't know

I remembered to bring a wristwatch to the exam only becuase somebody on this board reminded me (I stopped wearing one a few months ago -- got used to using my phone to check the time). So I went and found my watch, but the battery had died, so the afternoon before the exam I had it replaced (also had my calculator battery replaced).

Talk about an essential move before the exam! Time management was crucial in the AM session.

But yeah, five minutes to the end, all the bubbles should be filled, even if you are still not sure.
