Script Once all the students have followed the instructions hereby stated, read the following: “Good morning/good afternoon. Please note the following information as this will guarantee a smooth test-taking environment. If you do not feel that you are in good enough health to write this exam, please leave now and go to McGill Health Services to see a physician and then see your Student Affairs Office. If you remain in the room after the start of the exam has been announced, it is assumed that you have made a commitment and that you will be graded on ALL material submitted. You are not permitted to leave the exam room during the FIRST HOUR. If after the first hour you need to use the restroom, please signal an invigilator and an invigilator will escort you to the bathroom. If you were told you are entitled to “Stop Watch”, please signal an invigilator when you are in need of a break: please whisper to the invigilator if you are staying or stepping out. If you are leaving the exam room, the invigilator will escort you out and stay with you. If for any reason you need to the exam room during the exam period, or if you are unable to complete the exam, for example, because of illness, you must signal the invigilator. * *FOR STUDENTS WRITING ON PC OR LAPTOP (to be read if you have students writing on PC or LAPTOP): Please open a blank word document on the screen. Type your name, student ID number, course number and date into the header.

If a student informs you that they cannot continue the exam, show special care and concern when you question the student. The student may be ill, they may need to go to the restroom or they may be disturbed by some localized noise and may need to be moved to another area. If a student needs to go to the restroom, you must accompany them. Invigilators must complete the Bathroom Log Form (Appendix E) with the name of the student, time out & and time in and then initial it. Make sure the times are accurate. If a student signals for “Stop-Watch”, kindly whisper to them and ask if they want to remain at their desk or if they want to leave. If they choose to step out, make sure you write down the time in their logs and escort them outside the class and stay with them. Give them space and make sure they are within eye reach. If the student wishes to stay in the exam room, ask him/her to turn over the exam and record the time in the log. Once the break is over for both cases, make sure you write the end time in their logs. If a student has a question regarding the content of the exam, please say you are not allowed to answer any questions and that you can escort him/her to the OSD to contact the professor. Please fill out the start time on the Professor Contact Log (Appendix F) and escort the student to the OSD. Once the student starts/ends talking to the professor, write the time down. Once back into the room, write down the time. Let the student know how much time will be added at the end of the exam to make up for the travel time. Make sure you write down the student’s name and the professor’s name in the Log. If you are invigilating an exam done on computer, please remind the students to save their work on both the Desktop and to the USB, 30 minutes into the exam. Toward the end of the exam, let each student know they have 30, 15 and 5 minutes left to the end of exam using time cards. For students with “Stop Watch” or for students who contacted a professor, whisper to the student the amount of extra time they have. Remember that not all students have the same end time. End of the exam General guidelines Once the exam is over, the student must remain seated until their exam is picked up.
