Hi
We always seat students with extra time in the main venue, we never put them in separate smaller rooms. We can have several exams taking place at any one time and therefore we seat according to end time. Those who are there the longest are seated furthest away from the door, we rarely get complaints - hope that helps!

Subject: EXAM ROOMS - Concessions/Access Arrangements
I would be grateful to hear everyones thoughts/suggestions on this query...
I am a new exams coordinator at Aylesbury College.
I arranged extra rooms for candidates that require readers/scribes and I have placed those that require only extra time in the same room as those with no access arrangements but the tutor whos students' they are has sent me the response below which I have added for your viewing:
'I am surprised to see that those with extra time will be in the same room. Firstly, they will be disrupted by everyone else leaving and secondly, it is a breach of confidentiality as it highlights to all students that they have learning support and they do not necessarily wish others to know this about them.'
I have never recieved this query before and therefore felt it appropritate to raise on JISC.
Many thanks in advance.
