If you need to ask the invigilator a question or request additional paper, please raise your hand and wait for the invigilator to come over to your desk.
You should not shout out to attract the invigilator’s attention or leave your desk to speak to the invigilator.
There will be a number of invigilators in each room and this is dependent on the room size and type of exam being sat.
This could be as few as one invigilator or as many as six invigilators.
We recommend that you try to go to the toilet before the exam starts.
If you need to use the toilet, please raise your hand, and wait for the invigilator to come to your desk and escort you.
Please note, you will not receive any additional time to the exam duration for toilet breaks (this will not affect students who have toilet breaks as part of their alternative arrangements).
If you are unwell during an exam, raise your hand and wait for the invigilator to come to your desk. If you are too ill to continue then you will be accompanied from the exam room. You will not be free to leave unaccompanied until the first hour of the exam has passed.
After the first hour has passed you will be allowed to leave if you are well enough to go. If you are able to continue with the exam after a period of time for recovery, you will be allowed.
However, you will not be given any additional time to complete your exam. You may wish to submit an Extenuating Circumstance claim. Information about extenuating circumstances can be found on the Extenuating Circumstances webpage.
