Quite comfortable but the exams are lined up one after another so there's not much time to study in between. There will be 15 minutes of reading time at the start of all examinations. Students must not commence writing until advised by the supervisor at the conclusion of reading time. At the conclusion of reading time, students must enter their personal details on the Examination Attendance Slip, which will be collected by the supervisor either during or at the end of the examination.
