At UON we ask all students to sign a pre-printed attendance card at
the beginning of the exam and these are collected during the first hour
of the exam. The cards are then used to mark up 2 pre-printed
registers (1 kept with the cards by the exams office and one kept with
the scripts by the relevant department after the event). The scripts are
collected while the candidates remain seated and the number of scripts
is compared to the number of attendees on the register. Any students
not registered complete a blank card and are appended on the
candidate list.
Generally this is 100% successful, however on the odd occasion there
may be a problem that a head count would have resolved.
Unfortunately this is not a practical option in large venues,
particularly when there is more than one exam taking place
simultaneously. Any further ideas would be welcome.
Hope this is helpful.
