Regulations & Procedures Related to Examinations

For Form 1 to Form 6 there are two examinations: the First Term  Examination and the Second Term Examination.

1. The School, by and large, adopts the Examination Procedures of the HKEAA Examinations.
2. Students should proceed immediately to the Examination Centre 10 minutes before the time set for the examination.
3. Students may not leave the Hall during the first 30 minutes of the exam or during the last 15 minutes of the examination period or as per the Chief Invigilator’s instruction. At the end of the examination, students are to remain seated until given directions to leave.
4. No student is allowed to leave early in Multiple-Choice examinations, in Listening papers, or in papers of duration not more than 90 minutes.
5. Students must bring their own stationery and calculators. Students are not allowed to borrow any item from other students once the exam is underway.
6. Students may bring a bag into the examination room and use it to hold their notes, books, etc. However, it must be small enough to fit under the candidate’s chair and it must be zipped up before the examination begins. If unauthorized articles such as note books, dictionaries, rough work sheets, electronic devices etc. are visible to invigilators or found on student’s body once an examination is under way, the invigilator is required to report to the Chief Invigilator so that appropriate action may be taken. Pencil boxes or pencil cases must be placed inside the bag or left under the candidate’s chair.

Students must not commence writing the paper until they have been instructed to do so by the Chief Invigilator and they must stop writing/working immediately when they are instructed to do so at the end of the examination.
