Section outline

  • 1. Beginning of Online Examination:

    Ensure you are prepared well in advance of the scheduled exam start time. Remember to visit the QMplus module page at the beginning of the exam to access your exam. The exam will commence at the time specified in your timetable.

    1. Carefully follow the instructions provided to you on the QMplus module page.
    2. Open the exam. Please note that the exam paper or quiz will only be accessed at the exam start time and not before.
    3. Review all your answers before submitting.
    4. Carefully follow the submission instructions. If this is a pdf submission, check before submitting that your pdf contains all relevant pages.


    Once the examination begins, you will be under examination conditions until you complete your attempt. A student under examination conditions possessing or using unauthorised materials may be investigated under the Academic Misconduct Policy.

    If you have any issues or questions, please use the Student Q&A Forum to contact the Module Organiser. Alternatively, you can contact sems-office@qmul.ac.uk if you are experiencing any technical access issues.

    If you are experiencing technical issues during the 30-minute submission window, combine your answers into a single PDF file BEFORE the deadline and send your completed exam to:

    sems-onlineassessment@qmul.ac.uk

    You might want to note down this email before the exam starts.

    IMPORTANT

    We do not accept links to cloud files if you are submitting your completed exam document via email. We only accept files which are attached to the email. 

    2. Beginning of In-person Examination:
    At the start of the examination, the senior invigilator will make several announcements to students, as prescribed by Queen Mary. You must comply with all instructions from
    invigilators; failure to do so is an offence and may be investigated under the Academic Misconduct Policy.

    A student under examination conditions possessing or using unauthorised materials (including when not actually in the examination venue) may be investigated under the
    Academic Misconduct Policy.
