students leaving for a toilet break to show that they have no prohibited material on their person.
Behaviour in the examination room

• Your name and candidate number should be written on the answer sheet, exactly as it appears on your Attendance Letter.
• If you are completing a blank answer sheet, please just enter the first ten letters of your name.
• There may be more than one exam running so please carefully check you have an exam paper in the correct subject. The
packs will be colour coded for each exam as follows: CDCS packs will have a blue front cover, CITF packs will have an
orange front cover and CDSG packs will have a purple front cover.
• If any of your printed details are incorrect, please inform the invigilator who will report the corrections of the register. Do not
write on the answer sheet.
• Do not open your examination pack until instructed to do so.
• You will be instructed when to begin the examination, and when to stop. To allow time for revision of your answers, the
invigilator will advise you when 15 minutes of the examination remains. When you are advised to stop, you must put your
stationery down immediately.
• During the examination, you must remain in your seat until told you may leave. If, for exceptional reasons, you have to call
the invigilator during the examination, you should raise your hand in silence.
• You are not allowed to communicate with other candidates during the examinations. If you try to do so, the invigilator will
issue a formal caution and a report will be submitted to LIBF that may lead to your examination result being considered
invalid. The invigilator has the right to expel candidates from the examination room if their behaviour is interfering with the
proper conduct of the examinations.
• Candidates may use a scientific calculator but it must not be programmable, nor have a wireless-communications capability,
nor be capable of storing textual information. It must also not require a mains electricity supply. Calculators with
any further functions are not allowed in the examination room. (Invigilators have the right to remove any calculators that
they feel can be used to store and display information).
• Please note that LIBF does not provide any stationery or calculators for the examination. It is your responsibility to bring
these items with you to the examination. You must not bring any other paper or other materials into the examination.
• Ensure that all mobile phones and programmable watches are switched off and left with your personal belongings or on the
invigilator’s table.
• Dictionaries are not allowed.
• Smoking is not allowed.
• Eating and/or drinking (except water) during the examination is not allowed (except where, on medical grounds, this has
been approved in advance by LIBF).
• Personal belongings (all bags and coats) must be left in a separate area; they cannot be with you at your desk. You will not
have any access to your belongings and neither the venue or LIBF will be responsible for the safety of any personal
belongings.
• All work is to be the unaided work of the candidate. Any considered breach of the regulations will be dealt with accordingly.
• Please ensure that you mark all your answers on the answer sheet; answers marked in the question paper will be
disregarded.
• A student found to have prohibited material on their person at any time during an examination (including writing on their
body) will have the content of the material recorded and/or photographed for evidence to be submitted to the Malpractice
Committee.
• At the end of the examination you must seal your question paper documentation inside the clear plastic bag provided with
your pack and hand to the invigilator. The feedback sheet and answer sheet should not be sealed inside the bag, but
instead be left on your desk separately for the invigilator to collect.
