As I reached the examination building I saw a crowd of people thronging into the examination hall. I thought I was late. I gave my passport and paper saying I was doing that exam. A Lady at the door said that I could not take my math case in as it was clear. I was surprised as I had taken it in before. I walked in and found my desk. It was at the front but one. I sat down and waited for things to settle.
I looked at the candidates around me and I saw a sight that annoyed me. All the candidates who had geometrical instuments carried them in a case that was not always clear. I kept my passport on the table and started to keep my water bottle on the floor when I realised that there were wood shavings on my clothes. I touched the table and realised that the particles had fallen fron the wooden tabletop with metal legs. I glanced up at the clock and saw that it was nine- twenty. Only ten minutes more was the thought I had in my head.
I looked at the invigilators table and saw someone pointing at me. I realised that these invigilators were different from the ones I had seen before. An invigilator came up to my table and checked my statement of entry. Then the invigilator went back to the table with a mike and nodded to the Lady incharge of the exam. The latter then moved her mouth to the mike and started to tell the 'musts and must nots". After she finished that te rest of te invigilators gave out the papers. After writing the neccasary details I scanned the room and saw that there were five exams on.
The exam started. I glanced through the question numbers and was stared at due to it. There were ten questions in the paper. After having just finished the first one a Man with a really groggy face came with a paper for all candidates to sign. I sighned it and got back to my work. After an hour I was done. I checked my work and then thought about what I was going to do for the next one and a half hours.
I glanceed up to see the Man with a groggy face staring at me. I gave him a stare and he looked away. Then I saw a invigilator with a purple top. She looked at me and smiled. I smiled back. I took a brief look at the big green lettered digital clock and saw that only two minutes had passed. I took the calculator out and then kept dividing a number by two to get zero when the calculator could not do any more calculations. After it got to zero I just sat and waited. After a while someone stared at me. I stared back. The clock ticked on. It was eleven.
I saw the people of an exam that finished at eleven moving off. I longed to go with them. As I could not I tried to content myself by seeing how many exams there were going to be for my next exams. That took three minutes. I decided that I would look at the other candidates who were not behind me. I saw a girl dressed in clothes that I would wear for the festival. Then I saw a boy who wore rubber slippers, a pair of shorts and a crushed T- shirt. I observed someone who had a pair of tights and a top with some stains. I was soon tired of that so I started to say as many numbers as I could in a minute. That was boring so I stared at everyone who stared at me.
Finally five minutes were announced and I started to pack my things. I looked at my full water bottle and realised that I had not drunk any water. I took a sip of it and then saw that time was up. The invigilators came and took the papers. I went out of the hall after we were allowed and then went home.

Nice writing. The reading was a little boring, but was a new subject used in writing for me to see, so I still enjoyed it. There were small typos, like capitalizing Man. Try to vary sentence lengths and types(i.e. exclamations, questions, etc.) The good ting of the writing was the length and how you elaborated on what happened. The detail was very nice. I look forward to reading more of your work. Try to fix those errors and it should be good.
Keep Writing.
Thanks for reveiwing. Sorry for doing so earlier. I will see to it soon.
Welcome Sumi!
Reviewing this piece is difficult. There are some typos, but the bigger problem is a lack of interest. If you're going to write about a math exam, there should be something about that math exam which stands out to the reader, that makes readers want to read it. I read through it just to see if anything interesting would happen. Here's what stuck.
1. You got there and the invigilators talked a bunch.
2. You started the test and invigilators talked some more.
3. You finished the test.
4. You spent the rest of the time staring at people and staving off boredom the best you could.
5. The test ended and you left.
Which is really dull. But philosophically speaking it might be better to have dull then interesting. The biggest disappointment was that there was almost no mention of math at all. As a math geek, I was hoping for at least some drama about doing math problems.
There are a couple of typos. You wrote "te" instead of "the" on a number of occasions, and there was also "neccasary," "sighned," and "incharge."
So, I found it to be dull with typos, but otherwise decently written.
I see what you mean. Sorry to see that you found it dull. Thanks for reading and reveiwing.
