ALL CAPS RAGE!

ACT proctor calls time early

Ok, so I was taking the ACT today, and the proctor called time three minutes early during the English section. I know that three minutes doesn’t sound like a lot, but when you got 75 questions and are given only 45 minutes to finish them all, three minutes can be as much as five questions. FIVE QUESTIONS!!! Luckily I finished literally seconds before time was called, but I still didn’t get to check my work.

And that’s not all the mistake that the proctor made. During the science reasoning section, he told us “One minutes left.” And then, after like 20 seconds, he corrected “Oh wait, you guys still have two minutes.” I just wanted to slap him. When he said “one minute left.” I took him seriously, because I forgot to look at the time when we started, and started guessing on the remaining questions (there were 5 or 6). But when I realized that I still have another two minutes, I knew I was screwed. He disrupted my entire thought process, and telling me that I had two minutes left is not enough time for me to recover all the lost questions that I could have gotten right.

Damn I hate that proctor.
