Frequently Asked Questions What arrangements are there for special needs candidates? We make every effort to cater for candidates with special needs. If you require special arrangements to be made (for example extra time, enlarged print papers etc.) you must make this request when you register for your exam. All special consideration requests are subject to Cambridge approval. What if a candidate suddenly falls sick? We have trained first aiders at all our exams venue to attend to such cases. At the first instance, we take the candidate away from exam hall to rest. We try to assess the candidates condition as quickly as possible and contact the parent. If the candidate recovers within 15 minutes, we allow the candidate to continue the exam. However, additional time will only be permitted at the discretion of the Exams Officer/Supervisor. What items are permitted into the exam hall? Candidates must bring black/blue pen, pencil, eraser, non-programmable calculator, geometrical instruments and any other permitted materials required for the exam along with the Statement of Entry (SOE) and a valid National ID/passport. What happens if a candidate forgets to bring passport or SOE? It is very important that you bring your SOE to prove your identity to take an exam. If for any reason you do not have your documents you must inform the supervisor/exams 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 exam and what if a candidate reports late to the venue? The reporting time is time at which the candidate should report to the exam venue. Please refer to the venue letter for the reporting time. British Council reserves the right not to allow entry into the exam if this requirement is not met. Candidates are not allowed to enter the exam room while instructions are being read and question papers distributed. Late candidates will only be allowed entry once the exam has started and will not receive extra time. However, these candidates will have access to printed copy of Instructions to candidates to read before entering the examination hall. How do we contact candidates? We use several methods to communicate with our registered candidates. We may contact you through emails, SMS for quick updates, our website and facebook page. What facilities are there for parents? Our primary concern is the security and comfort of the students. 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 want to give feedback or make a complaint, you must do this immediately after the exam with the exams officer/supervisor at the venue or write to us at info@kw.britishcouncil.org +965 2205 2300 info@kw.britishcouncil.org www.britishcouncil.com.kw
Important points to note about your examinations Bring your original SoE and valid original ID/passport to every exam. Upon receipt of SoE please check very carefully and make sure that all your personal details and subjects that you have registered are recorded. If you find any information is incorrect please email info@kw.britishcouncil.org immediately. Unreported errors could result in receiving incorrect or incomplete results or incur late penalty fees. Be on time for all your exams. Involvement in any type of misbehaviour or malpractice at the exam venue may lead to disqualification. Only take exam materials and equipment that are permitted in the examination room. Do not talk to or disturb other candidates during exam. If you leave exam room unattended by an invigilator, you will not be allowed to return to examination room. All the best for your examination. +965 2205 2300 info@kw.britishcouncil.org www.britishcouncil.com.kw
