Don’t underestimate this extra pressure!

Top Tips Before the Exam:
- Clearly communicate any concerns or support you need and listen to any advice given.
- Read the guidance sent by the exam provider.
- Familiarise yourself with the format of the test/exam beforehand. Are you familiar with the exam platform and have you tested the I.T?
- Consider your environment if you are doing an online exam – is it suitable and free from distractions?
- Check that you have a second device (phone, tablet, second laptop, or computer) that can connect to the software needed and can be set up if required for invigilation.
- Test your device(s) to ensure webcams, microphones, and volume are working—test with a colleague, friend, or family member if you can.
On the Day:
- Is your desk clear and empty?
- Is your device(s) fully charged?
- Ensure you have photographic ID (driving license or passport) to prove who you are.
- Is your desk/first device visible from behind/side with the second device?
Good luck!
