Concerns with Examination Start Times:

If you have more than 1 exam timetabled to start at the same start time:

1) If the combined length of the exams is OVER 3 HOURS:

one of the exams will be moved, but will still be on the same day – you will receive a letter confirming the arrangements nearer the time

2) If the combined length of the exams is 3 HOURS OR LESS:

you will sit one paper followed immediately by the other.
