We give all our rest breaks in addition to any agreed extra time. the student woudl just let the invigilator know they are having a rest, the clock stops and then it starts again when they are ready to continue. Rest breaks are officially meant to be around 10 mins per hour but we are flexible and must students have it written in just in case but never use it. Our exams are 2 hours in length with 2 questions to answer so students are encouraged to take breaks between questions.

If a student is recommended extra time in exams and rest breaks, should the rest breaks be in addition to the extra time or inclusive? If it is in addition, is extra time added at the end or does the exam stop and resume? I know there was a request last week about the marking of assessments/examinations for dyslexic students but as yet I don't think there has been a reply. If anyone has any information and can offer guidance, it would be greatly appreciated. We have a number of courses, i.e. Journalism, English and creative writing that assess spelling, grammar and punctuation as a learning module outcome and I am being asked what is best practice in dealing with this situation and in line with SENDA Any help with these queries would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
