4. Supervising examinations

Before the examination commences

The Examination Supervisor must:

1. Ensure arrangements have been made for those candidates who have been granted assistance (such as additional time or a reader) with sitting an examination. Preferably, these candidates should be placed in a separate room under supervision separate to the main group of candidates.
2. Positively identify each candidate and, if possible, obtain pictorial proof.
3. Mark off the candidate list to indicate which candidates were present and who were not.
4. Ensure that there is sufficient space between candidates.
5. Ensure that all candidates sitting the same type of examination sit in the same area of the examining room
6. Ensure all bags are deposited in the front of the examining room.
7. Advise the candidates that she/he must ensure that:

   (i) The examination paper they are given is the correct type
   

   (ii) They place their candidate number on the top right-hand corner of the first page and the top right-hand corner of one side of the second and subsequent pages.

8. Advise the candidates as to what materials are permitted as per the instructions on their examination cover sheet and what materials cannot be used for that examination.
9. Warn candidates that if they are found using unauthorised materials, the materials will be confiscated and the incident will be reported to the Board. The Board, in turn, could invalidate the examination paper.

During the examination

The Examination Supervisor must ensure that the candidates are properly supervised so that there is no communication between candidates or use of unauthorised material or access too or sighting of unauthorised material or equipment.

The Examination Supervisor must ensure:

1. Each candidate hands back his or her paper and that each candidate's correct identification number is on the paper and is checked as correct against the candidate list.
