Be prepared on exam day

You are responsible for:

1. Completing all on-boarding activities for your digital exam platform
2. Presenting to your exam with suitable equipment.

Failing to prepare for your digital exam may prevent you from commencing your exam on time, or you may be ineligible for a deferred exam. Read more about digital examinations.

What to bring to your exam:

• writing implements—ideally in a clear plastic pencil case—such as pens, 2B pencils (for multiple choice questions), and an eraser.
• any other approved materials specified in your Electronic Course Profile (ECP) or exam information sheet (e.g. calculators, written or printed materials, dictionary, etc).
• your Student ID card to gain access to the exam venue.

If you have forgotten your ID, you can obtain a temporary card by scanning the QR code at the venue entrance, or by visiting Student Central.

Before your exam:

1. Check your personal exam timetable and make sure you know where the exam venue is.
2. Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before your exam's scheduled start time.
3. Review the list of essential and permitted materials and bring the materials you will use for your exam.

Assigned seating

Once you enter the exam room, go directly to your assigned seat in silence and follow the instructions from your exam supervisor.

Arriving late

If you’re late to your exam, you will still be allowed to enter within the first 60 minutes of the exam starting. You won’t get additional exam time to make up for being late.

If you are unable to commence your exam because of circumstances beyond your control (e.g. a major public transport delay), you may be eligible to apply for a deferred exam.

Contact Examinations to discuss your circumstances.

If you are feeling ill on the day of the exam, review the information on applying for a deferred exam before you commence your exam.

If you suddenly become ill (e.g., an epileptic seizure) and are unable to complete your exam, you can apply for a deferred exam with supporting documentation.

You can temporarily leave an exam room for a toilet break or an approved rest break. Raise your hand and wait for an exam supervisor.

It’s important you don’t leave your exam room without asking your supervisor first. If you leave without asking, you won’t be allowed to re-enter the room.

Make sure your name and student number are on all your exam papers, answer booklets and multiple-choice answer sheets, along with any additional details (e.g., number of answer booklets used) before you finish your exam.

Remain quietly seated while papers are collected and counted. You can’t take any exam papers and answer booklets with you when you leave because they’re the property of the University and are not to be removed from the exam room.

Finishing early

If you complete your exam early, you are permitted to leave the exam room if it is:

• after the first 60 minutes of the exam
• before the last 30 minutes of the exam.

Raise your hand to alert your supervisor if you wish to leave early. Remain seated until they’ve collected your exam materials.
