To help your exams run smoothly and to avoid last minute panic, here is a recap on what you need to bring and do on the day.
Before your exam:
- Carefully check your personalised timetable: take note of your venue, building number, room number and seat number (your timetable is also available via the MySouthampton App)
- Plan your journey
- Leave enough time to get to your venue, enter the exam, be seated and set up for the start time
Equipment/what you can bring:
- Bring your physical ID card with you
- If using calculators or dictionaries, refer to the University website to ensure you are using an approved model – unapproved models/versions will be taken away
- While you can bring bottled water, make sure it is in a clear or non-labelled reusable bottle
Entering the exam venue/during the exam:
- Switch off your phone before entering the exam and put it in your bag with any other personal electronics – leave your bag where the invigilators indicate
- Listen carefully to instructions from the invigilators and take the time to carefully check the instructions to candidates provided before you begin
- If you feel ill during your exam, raise your hand and tell the invigilator
Accessing support:
- The Student Hub is your first point of contact if you have questions and concerns relating to support, exams and wellbeing. They are contactable 24/7 to answer your questions or concerns or will point you in the direction of someone who can.
