4 Frequently Asked Questions What arrangements are there for special needs candidates? We make every effort to cater to candidates with special needs. If you require special arrangements to be made (for example extra time, enlarged print papers etc.) kindly make a request when you register for your examination. All special consideration requests are subject to Edexcel approval. What if a candidate suddenly falls sick? We have trained first aiders at all our examination venues to attend to such cases. First, we take the candidate away from examination hall to rest and try to assess the candidate s condition as quickly as possible in addition to contacting their parent. If the candidate recovers within 15 minutes, we allow them to continue the examination. However, additional time will only be permitted at the discretion of the Examination Officer/Supervisor. What items are permitted into the examination hall? Candidates must bring black/blue pen, pencil, eraser, non-programmable calculator, geometrical instruments and any other permitted materials required for the examination along with their Statement of Entry (SOE) and valid passport/civil id. What happens if a candidate forgets to bring their passport/civil id or Statement of Entry (SOE)? It is very important that you bring your SOE to prove your identity to take an examination. If for any reason you do not have your documents you must inform the supervisor/examination officer at the venue. Although we will make every effort to ensure that you sit for the test we cannot guarantee that this will be possible. What is the reporting time for the examination and what happens when a candidate reports late to the venue? The reporting time is the time at which the candidate should arrive at the examination venue. Please refer to the venue letter for the reporting time. British Council reserves the right not to allow entry into the examination hall if this requirement is not met. Candidates are not allowed to enter the examination room while instructions are being read and question papers distributed. Late candidates will only be allowed entry once the examination has started and will not receive extra time. However, these candidates will have access to a printed copy of the Instructions to Candidates to read before entering the examination hall. How does the British Council contact candidates? The British Council uses several methods to communicate with our registered candidates. We may contact them through s, SMS for quick updates, our website or facebook page. What facilities are available for parents/guardians? Our primary concern is the security and comfort of the candidates. Wherever possible we try to cater to the needs of any accompanying parent/guardian. These facilities may vary from venue to venue. Please note that there may not be a waiting area for parents/guardians at some venues. Procedures for feedback or complaints If you have any feedback or complaint, please complete the Complaint Form available with the Examination Officer/Supervisor and return it before leaving the venue. Candidate can also write to us at info@kw.britishcouncil.org

5 Important points to note about your examinations: Bring your original SoE and original passport/civil id to every examination Upon receipt of SoE kindly check all your personal details and ensure all the subjects you have registered for are recorded on it. If there is any incorrect information please us on immediately. Unreported errors could result in receiving incorrect or incomplete results or incur late penalty fees Be punctual for all your examinations Involvement in any type of misbehaviour or malpractice at the examination venue may lead to disqualification Only examination materials and equipment are permitted in the examination hall Do not talk or disturb any other candidates during the examination If you leave the examination hall unattended by an invigilator you will not be allowed to reentre again All the best for your examination
