Conduct of the examinations
Exams are conducted according to strict rules. These rules can be found here: JCQ Instructions for Conducting Examinations 2023-24
- Students should arrive 15 minutes prior to the advertised start time of the exams.
- Students with access arrangements e.g. access to laptops/ reader/scribe, additional time, will be able to access this support during the mock exam period.
- Students are required to be equipped with the correct materials for each exam including black pens, pencils, calculators (where permitted) and other drawing equipment e.g. compass. Pencil cases must be see through – there is no need to purchase such an item, a standard freezer bag would be perfectly adequate.
- See through water bottles only – external labels removed where applicable – water only.
- Phones, internet enabled devices and watches of any kind are not allowed in exams. Students who do not hand these in when requested to do so will be removed from exams. In the summer, this would lead to disqualification from the exam and may affect other exams if there is a serious breach of conduct.
- Bags and coats will be deposited at the entrance of the exam hall and must not be taken to the allocated desk.
