Three hours is far too long.
If you know your stuff, then the answers will flow and you can be easily finished in under two hours.
If you don't know your stuff you answer what you can and then stare at the walls, the floor, the person in front of you until the end of the exam.
You should be allowed to leave when you have done what you can.
If the ACCA insist that the exams remain at three hours, then you should be able to leave when you feel you have completed the script to the best of your ability.
It can't be any more distracting to other candidates for someone to leave than it is to see them apparently asleep at their desk.
Constant trips to the toilet.
Most of the candidates sitting the exams are early twenties, in some cases late teens, and yet they seem to find it impossible to sit through the exam without going to the toilet at least once.
This is a photo I took after the exam, you can see the corner of my desk at the bottom of the picture, the door you can see is the door out to the toilets. And yes, it was annoying when people were constantly passing me.
Tiny Desks
The desks really are small, the question paper and answer paper are both A4 size and there isn't room on the desk to open both out fully, they have to be folded back on themselves.
Still, they are over now, thank goodness, results are due out on the 8th February.
