This also includes snacks or water bottle. Note! Only if the lockers are all booked, you can place you belongings near the entrance inside the exam room.

• You can start you exam anytime within your reserved timeslot. However, if you come late, your time available for the exam is shorter. If you enter the room late, be considerate to other students. The usual ½ hour rule for entering and leaving the exam doesn’t apply here.
