To remove as much manual processing from assessment administration as possible
To reduce paper use in exams

Exam guidance

Before the examination

•Each student should be provided with white answer sheets; yellow sheets should be provided to students who need more than one sheet per question on request.

•Students will require one white answer sheet per question. The exam paper rubric will specify how many questions are to be answered.

Using the answer sheets

•Students must use a black ballpoint pen.

•They should start writing on the left side of the front of the sheet

•Each student has been provided a character set on the first page of the exam paper to be used for completing the boxes at the top of each sheet. This is designed to improve the quality of the processes for machine reading this information.

•Students must complete their identifying details and question information at the top of each sheet that is used.

•Students will raise their hand if they need a continuation sheet – they must be provided with a yellow sheet for this purpose.

After the exam

•All answer sheets should be collected in the A3 plastic box provided.

•All answer sheets should be unfolded to A3 size, with the completed boxes for student ID etc. facing up and in the same direction and should be organised sequentially. Any continuation sheets should follow the relevant white answer sheet. It is important that no sheets are folded because they could damage the scanner. Students must return all answer sheets, even if not used.

•You can ask the students to fold the answer sheets, permitting you to count by student and unfold them as you count and place in the boxes. We acknowledge that this process takes longer than with script books. The GTAs who attend at the end of the exam will assist on request.

•Exam papers and other associated documents must not be collected with the answer sheets (this could damage the scanner). Students can take these away unless the exam paper specifies otherwise.
