ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPUTER EXAMINATIONS ONLY
- You must be seated 30 minutes before the start of the examination time; this time is allocated to reading and implementing instructions. You may NOT begin typing until instructed to do so by the Invigilator.
- Ensure that all your computer printouts have your own Identity number typed in, as well as the watermark, which clearly indicates the computer station number. All printouts without these typed identification requirements (or with handwritten identity numbers) will NOT be considered for marking.
- You may not print for another candidate or have another candidate print for you. This is regarded as an examination irregularity.
- During the examination, printouts will be collected from the printer by one of the invigilators and handed immediately to each student identified by the identity number and watermark (computer number). No student will be permitted to leave his/her station to go to the printer.
- Ensure that you save your work on a regular basis. It is the candidates’ responsibility to protect their answers, through regular saving in order to prevent loss of work. No extra time will be allocated for such loss of work.
- Save your work correctly. It is not the responsibility of the Invigilator or Technician to “find” work that has been incorrectly saved and “lost”.
- You may not request the Invigilator to assist you in any way unless the computer freezes or is faulty and needs the intervention of the IT Technician or his designate; or if there is a fault in the question paper and needs the intervention of the Chief Invigilator.
- All printouts which you regard as errors must be crossed out and inserted at the back of your folder. (No printouts may be discarded or thrown into the dust bin).
For Information Processing and Office Data Processing:
- Invigilator must have either a stop watch or any watch/clock with stop watch facilities and MUST be familiar with conducting a speed & accuracy test using it;
- The speed and accuracy question will be conducted ONCE ONLY by the Invigilator, in a controlled, timed session at the beginning of the examination.
- Before the speed and accuracy question commences, you will be instructed to insert your examination number (Identity number) and question number only. Thereafter, you will wait until the Invigilator instructs you to begin and you will stop and print when the Invigilator instructs you to do so.
- The invigilator will collect and keep the printouts of this question from the printer, sign it at the end of the typed work; and only hand it out at the end of the examination to be inserted into your folder.
- If you are late and were not present during the execution of the timed speed and accuracy question, you have forfeited this question and will only be allowed to continue with the rest of the examination thereafter.
- If you were present and do not do this question, you will only be allowed to continue with the rest of the examination when the duration of the speed and accuracy question has been concluded.
- All uncontrolled speed and accuracy questions will NOT be marked. This is identified as follows:
- if a student has completed the entire speed and accuracy question within the given 10 minutes and yet is unable to complete all other questions within the balance of the 3 hours (this arouses suspicion of the speed and accuracy question not being timed and controlled and will be flagged as an irregularity).
- If the completed speed and accuracy question is not signed by the Invigilator.
