9 Types of Invigilators You will Meet in the Exam Hall
Examinations in Nigerian universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education are always strict and difficult, and only the smartest students who work hard make it out of these institutions.
As soon as the school management releases the examination timetable, the preparations for exams will commence, and if you’ve begun your exam preparations, here are the nine(9) types of invigilators you will meet in the exam hall.
1. The Sleepers.
These types of supervisors always favor the students because they appear lazy. After sharing the question paper, he will doze off. Most students always pray to have this type of invigilator because it gives them the opportunity to cheat.
