Question Time

We receive numerous requests and questions from exams officers requesting information/clarity over the management, administration and conducting of examinations. To ensure that as many exams officers as possible are aware of our responses to these questions, we will be providing the responses via a series of short Question Time podcasts through the various platforms shown.
