We will do the same but those with extra time will go at the back of the room or farthest from an exit so any disruption is kept to a minimum. Unless we have such a number of extra timers to justify them having their own room. I haven't come across the confidentiality argument before but I would say it is impractical to isolate extra timers and could cost a fortune in invigilation.

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.
