Exams can take place anywhere in college, You can view your timetable and room details on proportal. Please do not assume all your exams will be in the same location or that everyone sitting the same exam will be in the same place – CHECK where you should be!
We understand controlled assessments are new to very many of our students, however, you must ALWAYS follow the instructions given by the supervisor or invigilator and make sure you read the instructions on the question paper very carefully. Any failure to do so could result in a disqualification.
You are subject to exam regulations from the minute you enter the exam room until after all the papers have been collected and you have left the exam room so there should be no talking during this time. Please remember, as you leave your exam, that other students may still be working so leave as quietly as possible.
If you have any exam queries, please email the Exams Department on email address below, and put the site you usually attend in the subject to enable a speedy response:
You should aim to be at the site you have lessons at by 8.30am for a morning exam, and 12.30pm for an afternoon exam.
Before an exam – exam dates are set by Exams boards and the dates cannot be rearranged. If you are feeling unwell and are unable to attend your exam, you should contact the site you attend as soon as possible.
During the exam – If you feel ill and need to leave the exam room, you must inform the invigilator as you must always remain supervised during the exam. If you feel your performance in an exam was affected because you were unwell, you must inform the exams office and we will follow up with you and the exam board.
The Exams Office is open, following the release of results, to help with any queries you have about your results. Details of Post-Results services (e.g., copies of scripts, reviews of marking, etc.) and charges can be found at your exams office. If you have UCAS queries, you can contact Student Services.
