What applies to mobile
More specifically, with respect to cell phones, possession of a cell phone, even if turned off, in the testing room is prohibited and constitutes sufficient grounds for a zero on the paper. In the event that an examinee, upon arrival at the Examination Centre, brings a mobile phone with him/her, he/she is obliged to hand it over to the chairman of the Board of Examiners, who will keep it in a special place. At the end of the examination, the candidate will collect his/her mobile phone and leave.
Special attention to the management of the notebook
Special attention to the management of the notebook
Candidates should note that they should use the pages of the booklet given to them sparingly, as no candidate will be given a second booklet, as the pages of the booklet have been deemed sufficient for their answers.
Candidates may use the last few pages of their exercise book as a rough draft, provided that the word “rough draft” is clearly marked on any pages used as a rough draft. These pages will not be marked under any circumstances.
.
In addition, when writing their names at the beginning of the test and when writing their answers, candidates must not fold the covers of their booklets or crumple the booklet.
