6. General Exam Rules All students should check the exam timetable on the day of each examination, as room allocations are subject to change. Missing an examination because of a mistake in determining the timetable is not grounds for another examination. You are encouraged to arrive at least 20 minutes before the start of your exam, and to avoid bringing valuables to exam venues. Your dictionary and calculator (if allowed) will be checked by exam supervisors in the venue. Mobile phones must be turned off in the exam venue.

7. General Exam Rules – from UNI FAQ What will happen if I am late for my exam? If you arrive within the first 30 minutes of working time, you will be permitted to enter the examination venue upon the discretion of the Chief Invigilator. You will not be granted any extra time to complete your exam. However, if you arrive later than this, then you should go directly to the Examinations and Timetabling Centre on Nathan campus or to the Student Administration Centre on Logan, Gold Coast or Mt Gravatt campuses. There isn’t any guarantee that you will be permitted to sit your examination at this time. What will I do if I am sick on the day of my examination? You should apply for a Deferred Examination. You will have three working days from the date of your examination to provide adequate documentary evidence giving the reason you couldn’t attend your examination.

8. Exam Technique Stick to the time allocated to each question and part question. Answer the questions in the order you can do them eg Q2, Q1, Q5, Q6, Q3, Q4 etc Try to answer all questions since you may get part marks Answer the question that is asked on the paper – not the question that you would have liked to have been asked. Open book does not mean the exam is easy Put page markers in the books so that you can easily go to the required section Use the open book as a reference – you will not have time to learn material in the exam!
