Please complete the 5-minute “Exam System Check” at least 2 days prior to taking your exam as this will allow you to test and confirm that your computer is set up correctly in preparation for your exam. Failure to do so could result in system errors on the day and stop the exam from taking place, causing further stress and inconvenience.

Please make sure the invigilator is seen in the exam video for the duration of the exam and do not turn off the camera at any time during the exam.
- You will be prompted to take a photo of your ID when entering the exam, and asked to scan your desk and room, please ensure these are done correctly in order to proceed.
- When your exam begins the invigilator must show their ID card and their face to the camera. (This will not be prompted the same as you were as a student) Then you can commence the exam.
Failure to follow the instructions provided here or to provide a satisfactory video recording will cause the examination to be deemed invalid.
