Steps to follow before your exam

Follow these easy steps to make sure you’re prepared for exams.

Step 1: Check iLearn

Keep an eye out for your unit convenor’s announcements about the details of your exam on iLearn.

Step 2: Check the timetable

Check your exam timetable and note your exam dates.

Step 3: Get to know exam types

Familiarise yourself with exam types. For Session 2 2021, there are 4 types of exams.

Step 4: If you have an online invigilated exam, read the Zoom guide

Make sure you’ve read (and saved!) the Zoom exam guide. It covers a range of topics, including:

  • Integrity checks (Student ID and room checks) before you commence the exam. You will be asked to show your Student ID to the invigilator and complete a room check to be eligible to take the exam
  • Zoom troubleshooting
  • Contacting your invigilator
  • Conduct during exams

Note: the link to your allocated Zoom exam room will be sent to your Macquarie University student email account closer to the exam date.

Step 5: Get a refresher on academic integrity

Make sure you are aware of your responsibilities when it comes to academic integrity.
