Wednesday 18th August 2021 Prepare your exam environment Your supervisor will examine your workstation via the webcam/ camera during the inspection process to ensure that you do not have any unauthorised materials in your immediate working area. You must prepare your workstation in advance of your testing window, both to ensure that you meet this requirement and to create an environment with minimal distractions to your exam performance. To prepare your workstation: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Clear your workspace of all papers, books, and clutter. Have the writing booklets that were posted to you placed on your desk and a black pen only for writing. Reading time is for READING ONLY. No writing allowed. The total exam time allowed gives you sufficient time to plan and map out your answers before starting the exam. Make sure your device is charged or that you are near a power source. Arrange for animals and siblings to be cared for somewhere away from where you are working. Advise the other people in your household that you will be taking an exam and cannot be interrupted. You may wish to ask the people who share your internet connection to limit their use (e.g. Netflix) while you complete your exam. Your phone may be used for the exam inspection process, however it cannot be on your desk during the exam, and will need to be placed out of reach (i.e. on the floor under your chair). You may login to your exam session using your mobile phone if you don't have speakers or a camera on your computer. The online supervisor will instruct you about the position of your phone.
