Booklet and Pen
You will be given a laminated booklet and a permanent marker pen to make notes during the test. If you need another booklet during the test, please hold your booklet in the air and the invigilator will bring a replacement.
Please note that these booklets are not erasable. Test centre staff will have checked the pen is working before giving it to you. However you may also wish to check this before you start the test in order to avoid the need to seek assistance during testing.
If you are not given a laminated booklet and pen when you enter the test room, you should request this by raising your hand. Not requesting a laminated note board and pen during your test will not be considered as an extenuating circumstance.
Breaks
Please note that once started the test cannot be paused whilst you take a break. If you need to take a break during the test in order to access medication or to use the centre toilets then you may raise your hand and the invigilator will assist you in leaving the test room. However you need to note that the test will continue running during this time and you will lose time whilst out of the test room.
Problems
If you experience hardware/software problems, noise disturbance, illness or other distractions that affect your ability to take the exam, you must notify the invigilator immediately by raising your hand. If you do not do this, then such events will not usually be accepted as mitigating circumstances after testing – especially where it is possible that had you reported the incident, the issue could have been resolved by the invigilator.
Unprofessional behaviour
We expect candidates to meet minimum standards of acceptable behaviour during testing and during any interactions with the UKCAT Consortium
and Pearson VUE staff. Please familiarise yourself with the Professional Examination Rules before your test. Where candidates fall short of these minimum standards, such incidents will be thoroughly investigated. Where such allegations
of misconduct are upheld, we reserve the right to take actions which may include:
• withdrawal of test results;
• disqualification from sitting the test for a period in the future;
• the sharing of the outcomes of the investigation with legitimate third parties (which may include UCAS and Consortium Universities).
Examples of misconduct include:
• Testing more than once in any test cycle;
• breach of security arrangements;
• impersonation;
• failure to follow invigilator or other staff instructions;
• creating a disturbance;
• using prohibited aids (e.g. notes, note paper, calculators, mobile phone, audio/recording device etc.);
• copying another candidate’s work;
• using the test questions, their content or information about them for purposes other than sitting the UKCAT / SJTace;
• giving of false or misleading information during the registration, booking and payment processes;
• giving of false or misleading information relating to test results during admissions processes.
