We understand controlled assessments are new to very many of our students, however, you must ALWAYS follow the instructions given by the supervisor or invigilator and make sure you read the instructions on the question paper very carefully. Any failure to do so could result in a disqualification.
You are subject to exam regulations from the minute you enter the exam room until after all the papers have been collected and you have left the exam room so there should be no talking during this time. Please remember, as you leave your exam, that other students may still be working so leave as quietly as possible.
If you have any exam queries, please email the Exams Department on email address below, and put the site you usually attend in the subject to enable a speedy response:
This depends on which site you are studying at. For all sites except Marple you must be at your exam room at 09:15 for morning (AM) exams and 13:15 for afternoon (PM) exams.
Marple students are expected at their exam room at 8:45 for morning (AM) exams and 12:45 for afternoon (PM) exams.
Before an exam – exam dates are set by Exams boards – A Level/GCSE/BTEC and the dates cannot be rearranged. If you are feeling unwell and are unable to attend your exam you should contact the college as soon as possible at exams@tcg.ac.uk .
During the exam – If you feel ill and need to leave the exam room you must inform the invigilator as you must always remain supervised during the exam. If you feel your performance in an exam was affected because you were unwell, you must inform the exam’s office and we will follow up with you and the exam board.
