Please take note that the use of The Invigilator App is compulsory for this assessment/exam.

INSTRUCTIONS ON THE DAY OF ASSESSMENT:

QR code.

Access Code below the QR code to start the invigilation.

If your assessment has multiple online sections, tests or attempts, you should NOT finish the
invigilation until your entire assessment has been completed.
• Only scan the QR code when the assessment formally commences.
• The QR code is only scannable for a limited time and it should therefore be scanned as
soon as possible to start the invigilation.
• Once the QR code is scanned, ensure your media volume is turned up and place your
smartphone next to you. The Invigilator App will notify you with a notification beep when you
are required to action a request, which you should then perform.
• We recommend that you keep your smartphone on charge for the duration of the assessment.
• If you only have one device, you may access your assessment in the application by pressing
the ‘Access Exam’ button in the top right corner of your app.
