This tool is intended to assist professional Exams Invigilators by calculating the exact end times of an exam in progress.
Any desired combination of standard exam times and custom exam times can be set together. There is 2 ways to use the app.
Auto Start Method
The app should be set up during the pre-exam room setup phase prior to candidate arrivals. During this time, please fill in the first page to enter the duration(s) of the imminent examination(s). Once you reach the 'setup complete' phase the app is ready.
At the point the exam is officially started press the red 'Start Exam' button.
The app will assume the current time as the start time and calculate & display the Start Time, End Time, +25% time and +50% times in a table.
These can then be copied directly onto the whiteboards to fulfil the requirements of JCQ regulations.
As discretion is essential, if the user is the sole invigilator, it is advised to leave the device running the app on the desk at the front. If multiple invigilators are present, it is recommended that the app is operated by someone stationed to the rear of the room and NOT acting as lead invigilator.
The clock in the room should be checked to ensure its time is in sync with the device running the app prior to set up.
The 'Start Exam' button should be pressed as closely to the announcment starting the exam as possible to ensure accuracy.
Manual Start Method
This works exactly as above, but you manually set the start time.
This is for use when it is not possible to use the auto start method or where the exam start has already passed.
