Procedures During Tests and Exams

The following represents the policy and procedures that students should follow during all tests/exams they sit for at the Middle School:

• When instructed to enter the examination room, students are requested to do so in a quiet and orderly manner.
• Students are allowed into the examination room during the first fifteen minutes after the start of the examination. After that, students will not be allowed to sit for the examination.
• No food, drink, or any form of refreshment may be taken into the examination room. At the discretion of the proctor, drinking water may be permitted.
• Students should write their names and class on all materials provided at the exam.
• Students arriving late will not be given extra time to complete the exam unless cleared by the administration in the form of a note submitted to the proctor at the time the student enters.
• Students who have submitted their examination should remain seated until the teacher/proctor allows them to leave the examination room. They are not permitted to leave the examination room after they have entered unless in an emergency or with the permission of the teacher/proctor.
• Students must come fully prepared for all exams/tests and bring only the material required for the examination to their seats. Materials may not be borrowed from other students in the exam/test room.
• Any form of communication between students is strictly forbidden during exams. The consequences for any type of communication between students during exams may include, but are not limited to, the paper being removed or marked for a grade deduction.
• The teacher / proctor is not authorized to answer questions related to the exams.
• Personal belongings must be placed in areas indicated by the teacher/ proctor.
• All answer sheets must be submitted to the teacher/proctor once the exam is over. Students who forget to do so will not be allowed to submit any answer sheet at a later stage.
• Receiving, possessing, and sharing unauthorized information is considered cheating. This is a serious offense committed by all the students involved. Consequences may include but are not limited to the cancellation of the test and makeup exam, and disciplinary probation. Further appropriate measures will be taken depending on the severity of the case.
• Cell phones, electronic devices, and smartwatches are strictly forbidden during exams unless clearly stated on the exam paper as required.
  

Failing to observe any of the above exam procedures will subject the student to disciplinary consequences and restorative measures.
