5 What if I miss an exam? I am late? I am ill? A fire alarm sounds during the exam? I am unwell during the exam? I want to ask a question? Something has happened which affects my performance (e.g. death of a grandparent)? The exam can only be taken at the time shown on your timetable; if you miss it, you will get zero marks for that paper. You should inform the school of the circumstances. You should get to school as quickly as you can, and report to the reception. A decision will then be taken to decide if you can sit the examination. As there is only one opportunity to sit the exam, you should try and attend all of your exams. If you are too ill to attend, you should inform the attendance officer, and provide a medical certificate as soon as possible to the examinations officer. If there is an evacuation, you should put down your pens, leave everything in the exam room, and go with the invigilator to the evacuation point. You must remain in silence throughout the evacuation. Any lost time will be added to the end of the exam. Raise your hand and an invigilator will come to you. If you need to leave the exam room, any time you lose will be added to the end of the exam. Invigilators cannot help you with answering the exam questions. If you have a problem (missing page, wrong paper, require more paper etc.) you should raise your hand and wait for an invigilator to come to you. You should contact the examinations officer as soon as possible. If appropriate, she will be able to make a request to the examination board for special consideration. Examination boards do not accept requests from students or their parents. Lampton Examination Guide Version 0.1 Page 5
