Subject: Invigilator Ratios
Dear All,
At BCU we are looking at our ratio of invigilators to students during formal assessment periods and would be grateful for feedback from other institutions.
We currently operate a ratio of 1 invigilator for every 20 students and a minimum of 2 invigilators if less than 20 students are scheduled in a room.
Please could we ask:
What is your current invigilator to student ratio?
Like everyone, it does depend on venue and type of exam, but generally speaking:
In large (>250), flat spaces, it's 1:80
In standard spaces - seminar rooms etc, it's about 1:40
We don't have a minimum and it would be common for some rooms to only have one invigilator.
Do you feel this works well?
Yes, although changes to assessment over the past few years do suggest we need to review this. But it's harder and harder to recruit
If you run online examinations does your ratio differ to in-person exams?
Yes - we run BYOD and invigilating students using laptop screens is very different to those writing. It's about 1:15.
Not sure we've got it right yet, but again, availability of Invigilators sometimes drives this rather than anything else.
Many thanks,
