DD sat her Core 3 Maths A level paper today. She is very unhappy.
Throughout the exam the invigilators whisper chatted to each other. To add to this, one of the invigilators' mobile phone went off and was not silenced and allowed to ring through.
Just in case this couldnt get worse another invigilator came into the room 20 minutes before the end and joined in the whisper chatter.
Unfortunately the invigilators were sat just a foot in front of DD so she (DD) found this incredibly distracting when she was trying to concentrate. The distraction was so bad that DD was unable to complete the exam in the time.
This is not a subject DD is struggling with and was hoping for an A*. She is a diligent student and has sat many practice papers, completing them to a very high standard with time to spare.
If need be she can retake the paper next year while studying Further Maths.
DD has informed the Exams Officer of this very poor practice. Is there any recourse available to her?
Do any wise MNetters have advice please?
