At Goldsmiths we prepare a register - in candidate list order and a list in alphabetical order for use by the invigilator. For every register we print a set of sticky labels giving the candidate number - and this is put on the desk. The candidate has to write his/her name and sign and date the card. These are collected in and checked with the register and against the scripts. We then store the annotated registers together with their corresponding desk ticket. This method has proved useful when there is any doubt as to whether or not a student has sat the exam.
