In-Person Exams
In-Person Exams
Any exams scheduled to be in-person will take place across multiple venues on campus. Your exam's location will be clearly marked on your exam timetable, and you can find out more information about venues on the Modules, Marks and Assessment webpages.
Checklists for In-Person Exams
- Confirm your exam details - check your personalised timetable in eVision for details such as the date, start time, duration, location and your seat number.
- Know your exam format and content - find out about the format, academic content to revise and exam style on your module page on Moodle or myWBS. Ask your module tutor/leader for details.
- Revise and prepare - use study methods that work for you and explore tips on these pages. Always attend revision classes if they are offered by your department!
Exam Room Rules
It is incredibly important that all students are aware of expectations before going into an exam hall. Respecting these rules ensures fairness and a calm environment for everyone.
Silent zones
All exam venues are silent zones. Remain quiet at all times - from the moment you enter until you’ve left the exam building.
Reading time rules
Some exams include an official reading period. Your personalised exam timetable will confirm if you have reading time. If your exam does not include reading time, wait outside the exam room in silence until an invigilator invites you in.
Seat allocation
Sit in your allocated seat listed on your personalised timetable. Sitting in the wrong place can lead to: being marked absent, sitting the wrong paper, or receiving incorrect marks.
Leaving the exam hall
You cannot leave in the first 30 minutes or the last 15 minutes of your exam. If you need the toilet, please wait until after the first 30 minutes before asking an invigilator for permission.
Multiple exams = multiple finishing times
Other students may still be writing; leave quietly to avoid disturbing anyone.
Avoiding academic misconduct
Follow all invigilator instructions carefully. Academic integrity breaches include:
- Writing in your answer booklet during reading time
- Starting before the exam begins or continuing after it ends.
- Possession of unauthorised materials (authorised notes, books, etc.)
- Use of electronics or smart devices.
- Talking or communicating with other students during the exam.
Breaches of academic misconduct can have serious consequences. For more information, visit the Academic IntegrityLink opens in a new window pages.
