Create individualised exam settings for students requiring varied exam conditions.
Special consideration settings must be applied for each separate exam that a student requiring varied exam conditions undertakes.
Settings must be entered into invigilatorPlus within 7 days of the exam date, at the very latest.
Available settings
The following options may be specified:
Extended Exam Time
This setting informs the exam invigilator that the student has been allocated extra time over the default exam duration, which may range from 30–120 minutes. The default setting is ‘No Extra Time Granted’.
Breaks During Exam
The available options are:
- None
- Flexible
- Pre-Scheduled.
Provision for further details, such as a break schedule and break duration, are not provided within invigilatorPlus.
Use Alternate Exam Settings
Turn this setting on to override the exam settings for the Exam for just this particular student.
Alternate Exam Settings
If ‘Use Alternate Exam Settings’ is activated, turn each of these settings on or off as required. Each one must be set.
- Force Full Screen Mode
- Disable Right Click
- Disable Copy Paste
- Disable Open New Tab
Choose any of the options below to describe the exam conditions that this student will be using. These have no technical effect on the functionality of invigilatorPlus, rather they are used to inform the invigilator about the exam conditions specific to this student. Some options may affect the application of the exam rules, so it is important to complete them.
