The main duties of the job included distributing and organising the exams and exam halls, invigilating, ensuring students had the correct information and equipment they needed, and collecting the exams at the end for registering and marking. I had to remain alert and attentive to student’s needs, have a keen eye for detail ensuring each student received the correct exam paper and to any possible cheating. Organisation & co-ordination as a team was key, as there were hundreds of exams to be collated and registered which needed to be in a specific order and filled out correctly. Show less
