TIPS FOR CANDIDATES
1. Candidates will sit based on their index numbers. The index numbers are generated using the surname of candidates. Candidates whose surname starts with the letters A or B are usually found at the first row of the exams hall. This varies as some examiners or invigilators do prefer to start the arrangement from the back of the exams hall.
2. The distance between seats will be between 1 meter and 2 meters. This will prevent some candidates from cheating.
3. Candidates will not use the same examination hall to write all papers. Writing elective subjects will require a small number of candidates and for this reason, the exams hall or the seat one sat on for a core subject paper will not be the same seat for the elective subject paper.
