PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

·         The Reading & Listening test is held online, within a 24-hour time window. You can take the test between Wednesday morning 6 December 09:00 am and Thursday morning 7 December 09:00 am. That means you can access the test from 09:00 am on Wednesday the 6th of December and you cannot submit the test after 09:00 am on Thursday the 7th of December.

·         Once you start the test within that 24-hour period, you will have 2 hours to complete the test. The test itself is designed for 90 minutes, so you will have plenty of time to complete all the tasks.

·        Plan carefully which two hour-period within the 24-hour window you are going to use for the test. Before you start the test, make sure you have two full hours of uninterrupted time to devote to the test, and a good internet connection. If you submit after the two hours’ time limit has passed, your test will receive a mark of 0.

·         Queen Mary’s 'fit to sit' policy applies to this test. This means that if you start the test, you are declaring yourself fit to do so. Being 'fit' generally means that you are feeling well and functioning effectively. If you feel unwell or ill, you should not start the test.

·         If you are unwell and not able to take the test you must submit an EC claim within 24 hours, otherwise you will automatically receive a 0 for non-attendance.

·         We strongly recommend that you take the test on campus, to avoid any problems with your internet connection. Computer and connectivity problems will only be accepted for an extenuating circumstances claim if you can provide evidence of the problem (such as detailed screenshots that include the date and time), and it will be easier to produce such evidence when you are on campus.

·         Make sure you are in a quiet environment and have headphones available, since the test involves listening to audio texts for which you will have to complete tasks to test your listening comprehension. Very noisy surroundings may compromise your ability to carefully listen to the audio files.
