Online exams require students to have access to three separate devices: a computer with a webcam, a device with a camera behind them, and a device to record their exam on. These three devices ensure students aren't cheating, and the recording will be submitted as proof of independent completion.

Similar to in-person exams, online exams are to be sat in silence and completed independently without assistance. Being able to sit exams from home does, however, create a more comfortable environment for sitting exams, alleviating some of the stress students may feel. The time provided for the exam will be disclosed to students when sitting their exams as well as beforehand by their teachers.

Online exams come in two formats: screen and paper-based. Both formats are sat from home, but paper-based exams require students to print out their exam just before the exam starts. Please note that you will need access to a printer should you choose a paper-based online exam. Paper-based exams are handwritten and scanned in at the end.
