1.0 Before the Examination Period

BEFORE THE EXAMINATION PERIOD

  1. Make a list of all the modules in which you are expecting to sit a formal examination in the current examination period (ie. In Semester One, Semester Two or the August Resit Examination period).  Include both the module code (eg  BR10510) and the related module title (eg  Chemical Basis of Biology)
  2. Consult the examination timetable at  http://www.aber.ac.uk/en/timetable/exam-timetable/.   Note down :

i) The day and date of your examinations and whether they are takig place in the morning or afternoon session

ii) The location of your examinations (column 5 in the timetable) - and ensure you know where these venues are:

a) The Great Hall Arts Centre

b) Upper Dining Room Penbryn/Medrus Main

c) Sports Cage

iii) The seat numbers allocated to your paper in whichever venues are relevant (columns 11 and 12 of the Timetable).

3. Prepare anything that you may need for the examinations:

i) Standard equipment, like pens, pencils, etc.

ii) Your Aber student card.  Please remember to bring this with you.

iii)  Any items specifically allowed in a particular examination, if it permits a text (possibly like a statute book in a Law examination) or if the examination might be ‘open book’ or ‘open note’ (check in advance with your department exactly what is required/allowed in these instances).  If calculators are permitted in an examination, please note that the only models to be used are the Casio FX83 and FX85.  Any other model brought into an examination venue will be confiscated.

iv) If you feel that you might need a drink or some sweets to suck, remember that the ONLY items permitted are a small bottle of water and small tubes of non-sticky sweets.  NOTHING ELSE.

V) Please take the time to ensure you understand the University’s Unacceptable Academic Practice Regulation - https://www.aber.ac.uk/en/regulations/uap/.
