GRADE 11

Exam Information

JUNE 2024

Examination Instructions
Please be at school by 08h30 on exam days. Check the notice in the foyer for your exam venue. Exams
commence at 08h40. There is compulsory reading time, which commences at 08h50.

Bags, books, papers should be left outside the venue or, at the discretion of the invigilator, at the front or
back of the classroom. No borrowing of any item will be allowed during the exams. Ensure that you have
the correct stationery and any other required equipment.

Once the invigilator has settled the class and the exam is in session, there may be no talking,
gesticulating or looking around until the invigilator has collected all exam scripts and question papers and
has formally dismissed the class after the exam.

Note that exams finish at different times and there are students who have scribes and extra time. Please
be considerate around this regarding noise. Pupils must remain in the exam venue for the duration of the
exam.

Should you wish to attract the invigilator’s attention during an exam, raise your hand and wait quietly. Ask
questions only if you believe there has been an error or omission on the paper.

You may not have any cellphones, iPads, iPods and MP3 players with you while you write exams. It
would be best to leave these at home. If not, you will need to switch them off and leave them on the
invigilator’s desk. This will be at your own risk.

Copying or attempting to gain help from any outside source is regarded in a very serious light. Each
incident will be investigated and may result in your obtaining no marks for that subject or your results
being withheld. The IEB would also expect to be informed of any irregularity/example of dishonesty.
Therefore avoid any behavior during an exam that could be regarded as suspicious.
