Check out the five tips below to help your exams run smoothly and to avoid last-minute panic on the day:
- Your timetable on SUSSED
You should take note of your venue, seat number, and room number ahead of your exam, and double-check your timetable on the morning of your exam. Have a copy of your timetable to hand – you can access it via SUSSED or the My Southampton app on your phone. - Plan your journey
Leave enough time to get to your venue, enter the exam, be seated and set up for the start time. Arrive at least 15 minutes before the start time. You will not be allowed any extra time if you arrive late for your assessment. Check out the campus map before you head out, so you are confident in where you are heading. - Instructions before and on the day
Make sure you have read the Instructions to candidates on the University website ahead of any exams if you have not already. Listen carefully to instructions from the invigilators and take the time to carefully check the instructions to candidates provided on your paper before you begin. - If things do not go to plan
If you are unable to attend an exam or meet an assessment deadline due to illness or other exceptional circumstances outside of your control, use the Special Considerations process to let us know – usually no longer than five working days after any assessment or deadline may have been affected by exceptional circumstances. If you feel ill during your exam, raise your hand and tell the invigilator.
- If you feel overwhelmed or want to talk to someone
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.
Keep an eye on SUSSED for part two of the exam checklist being published tomorrow with a reminder about what to bring and what to do on the day of your exams.
