INVIGILATOR POLICY
Warning to Students
- You must be on time for your test(s). You must remain under supervision until at least one hour (or a period equal to the duration of the examination if this is less than one hour) after the published starting time for each examination.
- Remember you must not become involved in any unfair or dishonest practice in any part of the examination; providing your ID and password to another candidate and allowing that person to sit the test under your name is gross misconduct and may amount to a criminal offence.
- You must not have in your possession the following items which might give you an unfair advantage:
- Notes.
- Calculator cases/instruction leaflets.
- Bags.
- Personal TV’s/stereos, reading pens and electronic or radio communication devices, including mobile telephones, iPods, MP3 players, pagers, or any other products with text/digital facilities.
Any pencil cases taken into the examination room must be see-through.
- If you have any unauthorized items that need to be stored during the test, so that they are not in your possession, you must follow the instructions issued by your centre. If you are in any doubt, you must ask an invigilator before the test starts.
- Unless you are told otherwise, you must not have access to:
- Internet, email, data stored on the hard drive, or portable storage media such as floppy disks, CDs, and memory sticks.
- Pre-prepared templates
- Possession of unauthorized items is breaking the rules, even if you do not intend to use it and you will be subject to penalty and possible disqualification.
- You must not talk to, attempt to communicate with or disturb other candidates once the test has started.
- At the end of the test, you must not remove any examination material, such as printouts or question papers, from the examination room.
- The head of your centre must report to the awarding body all cases of irregularity or misconduct in the examination room.
- If the awarding body is satisfied that you are involved in any irregularity, misconduct or dishonesty, your results may be cancelled. For involvement in serious offences, you may also be disqualified from the current examination and debarred from future examinations of all the awarding bodies.
