Preparation

There are different exam tactics you can employ at various stages leading up to the actual day of the exam. Click on each of the following to discover what these are.

• Check the latest draft of the exam timetable for authorised list of materials, the date, time and room for each exam. This latest draft may be posted 2 weeks prior to the exam period.
• Students with disabilities should consult with the Disability Resource Officer in relation to access to special equipment or additional time. An approval letter will be sent to the student which will specify the equipment and the separate exam room.
• Students from non-English speaking backgrounds should check if a bilingual English translation dictionary is allowable.
• Students who have experienced exceptional personal circumstances which they believe will affect their exam performance should consult the Personal Counsellor.

• Adequate sleep and rest is now very important.
• This is the time to consolidate all of the material you have already studied.
• This is not the time to start studying new material.
• Check that you have all the allowable materials you will need in the exam.
• In exceptional circumstances, applications for special consideration or for deferred exams can be made with the Examination Section up until the day of the exam.

• Plan the day's arrangements, including transport so that you arrive early.
• Sit up the front of the room to avoid being distracted by other students.
• Bring all allowable materials with you. You will only be permitted to bring in calculators, books, notes or dictionaries which are authorised on the exam paper or in a specific approval letter.
• You are required to bring your student ID with you and to place it on the desk so that the supervisor can verify your name and student number.
• Students are not permitted to enter or leave the exam room in the first hour. You are also not permitted to leave in the final 10 minutes.

• The final draft of the exam timetable will indicate when results will be released.
• Appeals against results can be made through the Examinations Section.
