SAS PUDONG HIGH SCHOOL FINAL EXAMINATION GUIDE SEMESTER I, 2011-2012

PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THESE

INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
Preparation:
The best way to study is to review early and often and get a
good full seven to eight hours of sleep the night before, and a
nourishing breakfast before leaving for school. Studying all
night does NO GOOD if you are unable to think clearly during
the exam. Final exams are not merely exercises in recall, but
frequently call for analysis and deep thinking. Everyone needs a
rested and nourished mind for that to happen. Good Luck!
Testing Site Guidelines
Seating is assigned and posted at door of testing site and in
advance in front of the High School Office.
Report 15 minutes ahead to your assigned seat at the exam
venue before the scheduled starting time of the exam.
Find your seat on the seating charts and move quietly to
your assigned seat.
Leave all bags/backpacks/computers in your locker.
Regular pencil bags are not allowed into the exam venue.
If you need a bag to carry your pens/pencils it must be clear
plastic so that the contents inside are visible to proctors.
Ensure the correct exam is in front of you. Make sure your
name and teachers name are clearly written on your exam.
Do not open or begin the exam until instructed.
No talking is allowed once you enter the exam venue.
Cell phones and other electronic devices are not allowed.
If your cell-phone rings, it will be confiscated and only
returned directly to your parent. If you are using a cell
phone or other electronic device, you will be asked to leave
the exam room and will receive no credit on your exam.
Bathroom breaks will only be permitted in cases of extreme
emergency. Raise your hand and you will be escorted to the
bathroom by a proctor.
If you need assistance or extra paper, please put your hand
up and wait patiently until a proctor is able to assist you.
At the end of the exam, please wait quietly to be dismissed.
You will not be let out of the exam site early. If you are
sitting a 2+ hour exam, you may be dismissed before the
time period for that test is over at the discretion of the lead
proctor of that testing site.
Please be aware of any exams you are taking that are longer
or shorter than the standard 2 hour length. The length of the
exam will be indicated on your exam cover sheet.
