You'll certainly find it very French, very odd or je-ne-sais-quoi, but
arriving late at some French public exams and most of written

in, and you will be failed.

That's why some candidates book a hotel within walking distance of the
place of examination.

Maybe they'd be better off going to school in a different country, one
that isn't still in the dark ages.

Those unable to use sophisticated technological means to send the exam
subject to somebody late ? You certainly can't come in as soon as
somebody knowing the subject has get out of the room of course... which
can happen rather quickly. The principle of equality requires the same
subject for all for a paricular exam and you are required to not arrive
late since exams rarely take place at rising sun hours. I don't
understand how to do otherwise !

What sort of exam has a secret subject?

An admission of what?

Your shyness clouding your ability to reason.

Did I strike a nerve, Mixi?

No.

Then why did you reply with a statement that could only be intended to
divert attention from what you said?

No, my spelling mistakes reflected the rush I was in to get to the
laundromat before it closed.

You place usenet posting before hygiene?

I fail to see how demanding that candidates to an exam be exactly on
time, and denying those who are late, is "being in the dark ages".

It's a matter of equality of treatment.

??? Are you joking, or can't you really see why it is obvious that the
subject of an exam must remain secret until the official beginning hour?

It's just basic ethical principles: all candidates to an exam must be
treated equal. Period. Those who arrive late may have benefited from an
unfair access to the subject and can't be accepted.

Better safe than sorry in this case means that on THE exam day, it is
good to allow hours of margin.

Every exam I've seen has questions on a subject that is well known and
corresponds to whatever class the exam is for.
