Morning Exams start at 9:00am (9:30am on Tuesday)

Afternoon Exams start at 1:10pm (1:20pm on Tuesday)

Students need to be outside the exam room 15mins before the start of the exam.

Year 11, 12 and 13 students are on exam leave for the period of the exams. Year 10 students are only on leave for their exam.

Students should leave school when they have finished each exam, unless studying quietly for another exam.

Any students with two exams timetabled for the same time must see their subject teachers or the Head of Subject to organise another time during the exam week. Any exam with a listening component should take precedence.
 

What To Bring

1. Water only is allowed, in a plastic bottle that is not noisy when you open it.  No food, coke, etc.
2. Bring your student ID card to put on your desk.
3. Make sure you bring pencils, rulers, coloured pencils, calculators, maths instruments and so on, in a clear plastic bag. You cannot borrow during the exam. The office will sell stationery but not lend it.

Examination Procedure

1. Arrive at school at least 15 minutes before the due time. Go to the link foyer to check which room you are in. If there is more than one room you need to check which room your class is in.
2. If you arrive 31 minutes after the start of the examination you will not be let in. Put a copy of your exam times on the fridge door so family can help you remember. Every year someone gets the day or session wrong!
3. A toilet is available in the Table Mountain area, by room 56.  But try not to sip so much fluid that you need toilet visits. You must ask for permission before leaving the exam room.
4. If there is an emergency evacuation you go with the supervisor to Table Mountain, and you must remain silent.

Exam Conduct & Misbehaviour

1. Attempt all standards advised by your teacher.
2. A record is kept of how long you spend in the toilet, and how often you go, because of cheating issues.
3. Obey supervisors’ instructions and be courteous. You must remain seated at the end until all scripts have been collected. Do not walk out with the papers. Do not stretch noisily and look around the room.
4. Where any student refuses to comply with exam conditions, your paper will be collected and you will be sent to your Deputy Principal.
5. Your bags will be put at the front of the room. Your cell phone, pager, i-pods, etc must be in your bag and OFF. Your watch must be cleared of alarms. All jackets and coats must be left with bags also. You must not carry any ‘suspicious’ paper with your stationery or in your pocket, e.g. refill or notes. Do not write notes on your body or cover your legs with a jacket.
6. If your calculator is on the list of banned graphic calculators it will be taken off you. You will be asked to clear the memory by the supervisor.  Language dictionaries and spell checkers are not allowed.
7. It is forbidden to write in pencil or to use white correction pens or fluid. Your marked paper is returned to you in so you can check for marking errors and apply for a remark if necessary. If you have used white correction pens or pencil it is impossible to prove you haven’t altered your work at home so you will be denied the remark. Coloured pencils or biros are fine on maps, graphs and diagrams but use only blue or black biro for actual writing.

What If You Are Sick Or There Is A Family Emergency?
If you can’t get to the exam at all because you are sick, run into a bus, get caught in a flood, have a bereavement, and so on, you should see your class teacher or Head of Subject to arrange another time to sit the exam.
