Written examinations with invigilation

Plan your route to the examination venue

Most exams take place at Silurveien 2, where stationary PCs are available. Here you can find Silurveien 2.

Check where you are assigned to sit in Studentweb (“Active courses”). Your room allocation will be published approximately one week before the exam.

Check your route to the examination venue and plan to arrive 30 minutes before the exam starts.

Bring valid identification

You must present valid photo ID in order to take the exam. Please bring one of the following:

• student card
• driver’s licence
• bank card with photo
• ID card
• passport

Remember your username and password

Log in with FEIDE and check that your username and password work for logging in to WISEflow (wiseflow.net).

Note: The computers at Silurveien are exempt from two-factor authentication/Authenticator app requirements, so you must not bring your phone to your exam desk.

If you do not remember your password, you must order a new password (tilgang.sikt.no).

Please note: No additional exam time will be given for forgotten passwords or inactive user accounts. This also applies to private candidates.

Permitted aids and test WISEflow

Take a demonstration exam in WISEflow and familiarise yourself with the system.

Check which aids you are allowed to bring to the exam. You must obtain these yourself, and it is not permitted to borrow from others during the exam. The permitted aids are listed in the course description for your subject.

• Check one last time that you remember your password.
• Arrive early. Make sure your phone is completely switched off and that no alarms are activated before entering the examination venue.
• Hang up your coat/bag and place your phone, watches, personal papers/notes, and books that are not permitted during the exam in the assigned area.
• Remember any permitted aids, pens, erasers, etc.
• Bring food and drink if you wish.

If you arrive late to the exam, you may still be admitted to the examination venue up to 60 minutes after the exam has started. You will not be given extra time if you are late. If you are ill on the day of the exam or otherwise unable to attend, you can register your absence with your faculty. You can read more about illness during exams here.

You may bring:

• identification
• writing materials (pen, etc., but no paper and no pencil case)
• permitted aids
• food and drink

There are hooks on the walls where you must hang your coat and place your bag. Leave valuable belongings at home on the day of the exam. You are responsible for your own personal belongings and valuables.

Note!

• It is not permitted to bring your own blank sheets of paper, notes, or books to your seat, even if the exam has not started. Only sheets distributed by the exam invigilators on the exam day are permitted.
• Mobile phones must be switched off before entering the examination venue and, together with all types of watches, must be placed in the assigned area. You do not need two-factor authentication on your phone in Silurveien.

Violation of these rules may result in suspicion of attempted cheating.

You may not leave your seat until 60 minutes of the exam time have passed. After 60 minutes, you may take short breaks or go to the toilet, but you must always be accompanied by an exam invigilator. Raise your hand if you wish to leave your seat, and an exam invigilator will accompany you to the toilet or outside for a short break.

It is not permitted to communicate with others about academic topics or anything that may be perceived as exam-related during the break.

The rules for exams are determined by the Regulations on Admission, Studies and Examinations at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University (lovdata.no) and the Guidelines for conducting written examinations with invigilation.

For paper-based exams, you write your answers on examination sheets distributed in the examination venue. You will also receive rough paper.

OsloMet uses three-layer carbon copy examination sheets:

• You submit the two top copies in the cover sheet
• You keep the bottom copy yourself

You must use a blue or black biro so that the copies are readable.

Rough paper cannot be submitted as part of your answer and will not be sent for assessment.

Candidate number

• Write your candidate number on your answer paper and cover sheet. Your candidate number will be provided during the exam, but you can also find it in Studentweb (fsweb.no) no later than one week before the exam date.
• You must not write your name on your answer paper. The exam must be anonymous.

Completing and submitting the answer paper

You may only use the allocated exam time to write your answer.

After the exam time has ended, you are given 15 minutes to:

• sort the sheets
• write your candidate number
• number the pages
• submit your answer

It is your responsibility to finish within the allotted time. Raise your hand when you are ready to submit.

Answer papers that are not ready for submission within 15 minutes after the end of the exam will not automatically be sent for assessment.
