Exam Support

We know that the exam period is usually a hard period for many students, and the circumstances of this year may make it even more challenging. At KCLSU Advice, we want to make sure we support you and give you the necessary tools to overcome the exams period whether your exam is in-person or remote. You got this!

 

Your four “musts” during exams:

1. Have I double-checked what I’m allowed to have with me?
2. Have I checked the date, time and venue?
3. Do I know the format of the exam (question type, length, etc.)?
4. Am I physically and mentally well enough to sit the exam?

 

Your 7 steps to be exam ready:

1. Think about how you will get to the exam venue, and how much time you need to get there to be on time.
2. Read the rules carefully and more than once if needed.
3. Tell your Tutor ASAP if anything is affecting your ability to sit exams or submit assignments.
4. Check out the helpful guides online for Mitigating Circumstances and get in touch if you’d like help from our friendly caseworkers.
5. During the exam, be sure not to communicate with other students in any way.
6. During the exam, if you are not feeling well, let an invigilator know.
7. Make sure you stay hydrated before and during the exam.
    

DOs...

• DO check the date, time, venue and format of your exams and assessments.
• DO let your Tutor know straight away if you’re experiencing or foresee any problems prior to the exam.
• DO get in touch with KCLSU Advice if you are unable to sit or have missed an exam.

 

DONTs...

• DON’T wait until the last minute to leave for the exam venue.
• DON’T sit your exam if you’re unwell or experiencing Mitigating Circumstances.
• DON’T cheat or break any exam rules, like taking unauthorised material with you. The College takes exam misconduct very seriously and you could even be expelled if caught.

 

And finally, DO relax and do as well as you can.
Whatever the outcome, we’ll be here to support you if you need it.
