Centres must ensure that candidates take OCR s examinations at the times indicated on the timetable. In notifying candidates of the dates and times of their examinations, centres must not place reliance upon the provisional timetable which is provided for the purpose of consultation only. Contingency day The awarding bodies have designated 24 2020 as a contingency day for examinations. This is consistent with the qualification regulators document Exam system contingency plan: England, Wales and Northern Ireland - https://www.gov.uk/ government/publications/exam-system-contingencyplan-england-wales-and-northern-ireland The designation of a contingency day within the common examination timetable is in the event of national or local disruption to examinations in the United Kingdom. It is part of the awarding bodies standard contingency planning for examinations. Centres must therefore remind candidates that they must remain available until 24 2020 should an awarding body need to invoke its contingency plan. Starting times of examinations The published starting time of all examinations is either 9.00 am or 1.30 pm. Each examination must be taken on the day and at the time shown on the timetable. Centres may change the starting time of an examination within the scheduled morning or afternoon session without notifying OCR but candidates must start morning examinations no earlier than 8.30 am and by 9.30 am and afternoon examinations no earlier than 1.00 pm and by 2.00 pm. If candidates are taking two or more examinations in a session and the total time is three hours or less, centres may decide the order in which to hold them. Centres may also give candidates a supervised break of no more than twenty minutes between papers within a session. This must be conducted within the examination room, under formal examination conditions at all times. This does not apply to candidates with approved supervised rest breaks. Leaving the examination Candidates must remain under supervision until 10.00 am for morning examinations and until 2.30 pm for afternoon examinations. For examinations of less than one hour s duration, candidates must be supervised until the published finishing time of the examination or 30 minutes after the published starting time, whichever is later. Timetable deviations If you need to arrange overnight supervision, the forms do not need to be returned to OCR but must be completed and held in your centre records. When a change is made to the published starting time of an examination, it is the responsibility of the centre to inform all candidates affected by the alteration.
