General Information on Exam Procedures

Examination Registration
Students should register at the following times:

A.M. Examinations: 8:10 a.m.

P.M. Examinations: 1:00 p.m.

Registration rooms will be on the ground floor and the notice board in foyer will tell the students to which rooms to report. It is essential that your daughter allows adequate travel time to arrive preferably well before the start of registration in case there are any transport delays. Exam boards will not make any allowances for late arrival.

Illness during exams
If your daughter is too unwell to take an examination you should contact Mr. McCoy/Ms Lecky in the examination office, as a matter of urgency on 0207 969 1950/1955/1951. Nevertheless, your daughter should make every effort to sit the examination, as she will not be allowed to sit it at any other time.

Conduct during the Examinations
Students should wear full school uniform before and throughout the examination period. This rule also applies to all revision sessions within school hours. School rules about jewellery and make up will still apply. Please ensure that your daughter remembers any essential items such as:
  • English Literature Texts (students should refer to the specific instructions given by subject teachers)
  • Mathematical equipment including a pair of compasses, protractor, two black or blue pens, two sharp pencils, long 30 cm clear ruler, scientific calculator
  • Adequate supply of pens, pencils, erasers etc in a CLEAR plastic bag or pencil case

Students may also bring a transparent plastic bottle of still water to drink during the examination but they are not allowed to eat or chew. Mobile phones are strictly forbidden even if turned off. If a student brings a phone into the exam room, it will have to be reported to the board. We expect the highest standard of behaviour during the examinations and any breach of the regulations may well result in disqualification.
