EXAMINATIONS
EXAM REGULATIONS
AND ADVICE
TO HELP ENSURE
EVERYTHING RUNS
SMOOTHLY FOR YOU
ON THE DAY
BEFORE THE
EXAM
Remember that it is your
responsibility to have read and
understood the JCQ rules and
regulations regarding exams. This
information is available on Woodle
and also on the exams notice
board.
• IT IS VITAL THAT YOU CHECK YOUR
TIMETABLE THE NIGHT BEFORE
YOUR EXAM!
If you turn up very late for your exam,
that is, after the exam has finished,
YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO SIT
THE EXAM. THIS MAY MEAN THAT
YOU WILL NOT BE AWARDED A FINAL
GRADE!
REMEMBER!
• UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD
OTHERWISE
• (AM) EXAMS START AT 09.00
• (PM) EXAMS START AT 1.30
• If you arrive half an hour or more after
the start of your exam, you must see
the exams officer first and a decision
will be made on whether you will be
allowed into the exam room. There is
no guarantee that the exam board will
mark your paper.
Clashes
Be aware
If you have had a timetable change due to
an exam clash and a morning exam has
been moved to the afternoon and you are
more than half an hour late in the morning,
the exam that has been rescheduled for
the afternoon also may not be marked by
the exam board.
DO
• Aim to arrive at college at least half an hour
before the start of your exam
• Check the notice boards in the social area for
exam venues and seat number.
• Be ready to go into the exam room 15 minutes
before official starting time (there are usually
several announcements that need to be made)
• SWITCH MOBILES OFF
• Have College ID ready to show to the invigilator
• Have your personal timetable
• Bring transparent pencil cases
• Spare pens/pencils/erasers/calculator with
lid removed
• Remove labels from bottles of water

• ‘Clash students’ should have
lunch/snack/drinks/revision books in their
bags to take from their exam to isolation
room and should leave their mobile in the
Main Office on arrival at college
IN THE EXAM
ROOM
DO
• Enter exam room quietly
• Leave bags at front of venue or where directed
• Inform exams officer/invigilator if you are unwell
or have had a recent trauma
• For exams in sports hall/main hall, put your
mobile in the tray at the front of the row that you
will be sitting in. Make sure beforehand that your

others will have the same phone as you!

WARNING!

consequences. The least penalty that you
will receive is ZERO MARKS for your
paper. You may be disqualified from the
entire subject. You will not receive an
overall subject grade. Any other
evidence of cheating will have the same
results!
TRIPS TO THE TOILET!!
• You will not be allowed to leave the
exam room in the first hour of your
exam. If you have more than one exam in
a session you will be able to have a toilet
break between exams but you should be
respectful of others that may still be
working.
FIRE ALARM
• If the fire alarm should go off during your exam,
you must stop writing, remain silent and wait for
instructions from the invigilator. If you are asked
to evacuate the room, you must leave your script
face down on your desk. Do not collect your
belongings and do not talk to anyone. If it is safe
to allow you back into the exam room and the
security of the exam paper has not been
compromised, you will be given the full
remaining time allowance.
AT THE END OF YOUR
EXAM
• Check that all details have been entered
on front of exam paper and on any
additional paper. Attach additional paper
with a treasury tag
• Remain seated in silence until you are told
that you can go
• If you are being supervised because of a
clash, you will be escorted from the exam
room to your isolation area

NOISE UNTIL YOU
ARE WELL AWAY
