3

Morning sessions begin

Afternoon sessions may begin at 1pm, 1:30 pm

Exam times will be on your individual exam timetable You will be called into the exam venue when we are ready and you will then find your seat. This will have been printed on your individual Timetable, BUT please also check the seating plan in the Upper Market Place to double check as changes are sometimes made.

4 Possession of a Mobile phone or any electronic device that can connect to the internet or has a data strorage device (an IWatch for example, iPod, MP3 player) is strictly forbidden and not allowed inside the exam hall even if it is switched off – if you break this rule then it will result in disqualification - not just from one exam – but possibly from all of them.

You must not become involved in any unfair or dishonest practice in any part of the examination.

5 In the Market Place you have the opportunity to hand in your mobile phone if you have one and also any smart watches. These will be locked away and kept safely by the invigilators. ‘Normal’ watches should be removed and placed on your desk.

Remember you are not allowed to bring any papers or books into the exam with you.

6

You are allowed to bring WATER only, in a clear plastic 500ml bottle – the label must be removed. No other drink or bottle is allowed in the hall.

No food is allowed in the examination room.

7 Your pencil case should be clear plastic and remember to use black pens. You must bring full equipment.

You must not borrow anything from another candidate during an exam.

You will be asked to check your pockets for unauthorised items e.g. notes or a timetable

Possession of unauthorised objects is breaking the rules – even if you have no intention of using them.

Calculators, if they are allowed –you must check for stored data in the memory before the exam. NO lids allowed.

8 Once you enter the exam room you should not talk to anyone else

– you are under strict examination conditions.

You MUST not turn around but face the front of the room and listen carefully to the invigilator.

You need to understand that cheating in any form will not be tolerated. You risk the exam you are sitting plus any others you have sat being marked as zero. We and Exam boards operate under very strict guidelines.

9

If you have a question before or during the exam – raise your hand. An invigilator will come to you

Do not talk or try to communicate to anyone other than an invigilator once an exam has started. If you have a query / need extra answer booklets, tracing paper, a tissue, the toilet…. the invigilator will try to help you.

10

If you use a word processor in exams make sure that you:

save immediately – date, name, exam information.

Also put your candidate number, centre number,your name, exam name and codes at the top of the word pad document and on the examination paper (if using this as well) .

Remember to use double line spacing and 12 pt font

SAVE REGULARLY. The academyl is not responsible if you do not save your work and lose it – you will NOT be given the exam time again. Follow the instructions for the end of the exam carefully regarding printing.

11

Make sure that you have the correct paper in front of you – if not speak to the invigilator immediately. Read the paper carefully and follow the instructions.

Cross through work you do not want marked.

Sit at your desk once the exam is over until you are told to leave row by row.

Some students may still be taking an exam be quiet and respect them. Do not talk until you are back in the Market Place.

Do not remove anything from the exam room other than those items you brought in.

12

EMERGENCIES – remain seated and silent and follow the instructions of the invigilators. If you need to evacuate the exam room, the invigilators will escort you to the evacuation point. You MUST remain silent. When instructed you will re-enter the exam room in silence and be told when to re start. The time of the disruption will be added on to the exam time and if a GCSE exam, special consideration will be applied for from the exam board.
