2.      Instructions for the exam room

Remember that it is required to have total silence at the examination room. The rules apply when you step in to the room even if your exam has not yet started. Electronic exam differs from the normal exam because it is supervised by cameras and done on computers. That is why there are more strict rules about how to act during your exam.

Before entering the exam

• Before entering the examination class room, leave all your belongings outside. 

• The only thing you have to take with you to exam room is your student identification card. You are not allowed to bring jacket, phone, calculator, dictionary, books, pens, paper. 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.
• You have to enter the exam room with your access card. It is associated to your identification so remember to use it even when you could enter together with someone. This access card information will be connected to your exam and to camera surveillance record for identification.

• Find the right computer and follow the instructions by the computer. If you try to start the exam on a wrong machine, there will be a notification and information about the right one.

• You must be able to present a proof of identity when you enter or leave the room and also afterwards.

• There is a recording camera surveillance system in the exam room which is used to supervise students taking the exam. Records may also be checked afterwards if there is any reason to suspect cheating.
