Entrance Exams

28th - 30th, Jan, '15

For the past three days I have been helping out with the entrance exams. Every year at this time 6th class students come in to take their entrance exams on the computer, so they get us t.y's to help out. In the morning times Myself and a few others had to greet them coming in a receptions and bring them to the room, then once they had all arrived we had to help them set up the computers. We had never done our exams on the computers and I know nothing about computers so I let the other two t.y's in the room get them set up. Once they all got going on the exam we just got to sit outside and chat to each other which was fun.
The test was in three parts so inbetween we had to take them on breaks, to get their lunches and stuff. They were quite compliant and followed all of the intructions, I think some of them were a bit intimidated by it all, but we chatted to some of them and they seemed to be doing ok. They said the tests were easy.
At the end of the day then we had to bring them all back to reception to be collected. It was like this for the whole three days we were doing it, but with different schools each time. I quite enjoyed helping out, it was a good break from regular classes. The students look like they're getting smaller each year.
