Title: CIE - Any penalise on marks if I was late for reporting time?
Post by: SoyCho on May 17, 2011, 03:37:29 am
I'm a CIE A-level student, doing may/june A-level exam. 
Would my marks be affected if I was late for the reporting time?
*(the reporting time was half an hour before the exam starts.)

Really appreciate if someone can answer me... thanks in advance!
I'm soooo worry now :(

Exams had already begun, or you reached early before, say 5 minutes ?

You arrived half an hour late ? No, there shouldnt be a problem.

You were given extra time though, correct ?

Exam not yet begun.
The reporting time was 30min before the exam started.
But I reached the hall 15min before exam started.

I wasn't late for the exam, but reporting time.
So no extra time given.

I'm worry the examiners might record it in the report.  :(
because there was another section for the same paper 2hours earlier at my centre.
Though the students of previous section were quarantined after their exam finished.

no ofcourse they wont cut marks for you
CIE awards marks on questions, not behaviour. y would they cut your marks if u were late
if they wanted to do something, then it would something like cancelling ur paper or not permitting u into the exam room << these two however are highly unlikely if u were present in the hall the moment the exam started
if u were not present in the hall the moment the exam started, i dont expect them to give u extra time.
