Examination Rules
• Students are required to follow all instructions given by the examiners.

• Talking is NOT allowed under any circumstances.

• Students MAY NOT bring any written or printed materials into the examination room except where
explicitly allowed by the examiner.

• Mobile phones are strictly prohibited in the examination room.

• Students MAY NOT bring any electronic device into the examination room except where explicitly
allowed by the examiner.

• Students may raise their hand to ask the examiner a question. The examiner may decide not to answer
the question: students are expected to know the requisite terminology and understand the examination
questions.

• Students are NOT allowed to leave the examination room until ready to turn in their work.

• Once a student has seen the examination paper, the student is assumed to be in good health at the
time of the examination.

I have read and understood the examination rules. I will not cheat, copy from other students, or
use unauthorised materials or devices, and I have not brought such materials or devices into the
examination room.
