I was frustrated …

… I wanted to help, but I couldn’t 😞

I love the invigilating work I do.

But, in the 1:1 invigilating I do, it can be so frustrating.

Instead of walking around a big room with up to 200 students in it, you’re sitting right next to a student, often reading the questions for them and writing down their answers.

You are so aware if they are struggling, and it really gets to you.

Last week I was invigilating a mock GSCE maths paper for a student that needs extra help.

It became clear early on that he was lost.

Some of the questions were multiple choice, so he guessed, but many were based on a set of facts:

“Mary bought a 3kg bag of sweets for £17.90.

She wanted to sell the sweets as 150g bags and make a 35% profit.

How much should she sell each bag for to achieve this?

Please show your workings.”

I would read the question through a number of times and then wait for his answer.

But he would just stare at the paper, then say he didn’t know how to work it out.

I felt so bad for him. I really wanted to help in some way, but all I could do was tell the exams officer so she could feedback to his teacher.
