I don't have an answer for you, but would appreciate an explanation of
'split' exams. As a visually impaired student my exams are about 4 hours
long. I ALWAYS get a migraine (this is inevitable), and so cannot perform to
my optimum. I get two ten-minute breaks, but 10 minutes isn't long enough
for me to recover. How is the exam split? I would be extremely grateful for
any information on this.
Regards
Esme
