It is essential to transfer your answers to the grading sheet after each question in case the exam is interrupted by fire alarm and to double check your transfers. It is always a good idea to attempt the questions you deem easiest first as an interrupted exam may just mark your score based on questions attempted. The proctors will announce when there are 15 minutes remaining and any answers not transferred should be recorded at this time. No one is to leave their seats in the last 15 minutes. When time is called, the proctors will go down the rows collecting your answer sheets and this exam paper. They will not wait and they will not accept your sheet once they have passed. Any violation of this protocol will result in a grade of zero recorded for the exam. 5. In the event of a fire alarm, you are to leave your exam and answer sheet face down on your desk and immediately proceed outside with coats and all personal belongings. Print your surname on the back of the exam so you know which seat to return to. An invigilator will lead the group outside to a place of safety. There is to be no talking during the evacuation or outside. Most rooms are cleared within 30 minutes of the alarm.
