There will be a slight change this year to the procedure at the end of the time for sitting each examination paper. This has been introduced by the Board of Examinations as a result of concerns raised by students in the Law Faculty.
The change in procedure is being introduced on a pilot basis. It only applies to examinations taking place in the Law Faculty Building. It will not apply to other examination rooms, such as those in the Corn Exchange, Senate House, Mill Lane Lecture Rooms or Sidgwick Avenue Lecture Rooms.
The general practice in the past has been that examination candidates would sort their papers and then leave the examination room, leaving their scripts on their desk.
Under the pilot procedure, candidates will remain in their seat until the invigilators have collected all the examination scripts from their row. Only then will they be free to leave the room.
One of the aims of the pilot procedure is to see whether it tends to prevent candidates from mistakenly taking their examination script with them when they leave the examination room. This has been a problem in the past.
The Board of Examinations are grateful for your cooperation in conducting this pilot.
