- If the fire alarm sounds during the exam you must remain silent, leave your exam paper on your desk and leave the room by the nearest fire exit. Whilst you are outside the exam room you must not speak to any other students. If you do speak to other students you may well lose marks on the paper you are sitting.
- If you think you are going to be late for an exam you must phone up the Academy and let us know that you are on your way and the time you hope to arrive. You may still be able to sit the exam, even if you do arrive late.
