Timing of the Exams
You must not open the exam or begin work before instructed to do so by the testing personnel. At the end of the exam, you must immediately put pens and pencils down when instructed to do so.
A verbal announcement will be made to all candidates when 30 minutes remain in each timed session. A final reminder will be announced when 15 minutes remain. In testing rooms where there are no clocks, or the clocks are not visible to all candidates, the timekeeper will mark time remaining on a chalkboard or flipchart that is visible to everyone.
Time remaining will be marked in the following increments:
Less than 2.5 hours remain
Less than 2 hours remain
Less than 1.5 hours remain
Less than 1 hour remains
Less than 45 minutes remain
Less than 30 minutes remain
Less than 15 minutes remain
