Chemistry paper 1 mess up in riyadh center

[roadtrip9o9]

There was this thing that happened today , they didnt give the data booklet at the start . it was given at the end and they just provided a little extra time after the paper . I think british council should take this into consideration . as many of the questions involve seeing the data booklet .. not just which are said as 'use the data booklet' .. u need it for seeing bonds etc etc n all too ... many people left many questions and in the ended up having not enough time

THE HECK WAS THAT -___________- seriously , i was so used to doing questions with the data booklet side by side and had to leave many questions and then PLUS in the end had to do the caluclations part ( those that involve the most time) in what say about 10 minutes ? -_- ... ABOVE ALL THESE REASONS , it was also the hardest mcq paper ever -.-

15 minutes were not given entirely either -______- .. it was like 10 minutes lift then like 2 minutes left like da f*ck ?

 

[scarface007]

not 10 mins it was like 5-7 mins only :/
and yea the questions needed more time to answer!!!

I called up the UK office and apparently they don't deal with candidates.
Nonetheless, they said we should definitely talk to the officers at the examination centers we went to and if they think we've been hard done-by they'll definitely take action. He kept reassuring me that they will take all necessary steps to prevent candidates being disadvantaged with something that was out of their hands.

Call up the Riyadh Brit council, instead of the UK one! Write joint complaints concerning this issue and make sure you mention how you WERE at a disadvantage.
