We would offer consideration on the last paper, or overnight supervision with a member of staff, and one of the exam team to invigilate on the Saturday.

At 6 ¼ hours, unless they get extra time, I would be trying to go for the first option.

As an aside – why oh why have the boards put so many popular exams on a Friday??????

We are rammed to the rafters on the 18^th May L

Subject: Over 6 hours of exams

Hi all

I just wondered what you do when you get students who have over 6 hours of exams on one day? Do you feel obliged to offer them the chance to do one the next day or do you timetable them all on the same day and see if they query it?

The JCQ guidelines are vague and say that candidates may be able to sit one exam the following morning but is this at our discretion? We have 15 students with 6 ¼ hours of exams on Friday 18^th May, which means the ‘next day’ will be a Saturday!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Sarah
