Please make sure to read this…

All students must have the correct version of Safe Exam Browser (SEB) installed on their BYOD. The correct version for Windows and Mac and instructions for installation are found here Inspera: On-Campus Invigilated Final & Supplementary Exams | UNSW Current Students

Make sure that the browser is ready before you enter the exam room.

We already have mentioned that you can bring your own laptop charger - there will be access to powerpoint at each desk. You can bring your pen, the exam supervisors will hand out a blank sheet of paper for drafting answers. You are not allowed to bring any other printed/written materials.

A mockup exam for final

Posted by Helen Paik Wednesday 24 April 2024, 02:00:05 PM, last modified Wednesday 24 April 2024, 02:32:46 PM.

As the actual exam is centrally run, and supervised with a lockdown browser,I cannot recreate the exact same environment for a mock exam. What is possible is to setup an online exam (just like the midterm) through Moodle.

On Moodle, you will find a link to "Mockup Exam (final)". This should get you to the Inspera exam environment - which will present some mockup questions for you to practice.

The exam is setup with no time limit. The access to the exam questions will close on 28th Sunday 11:00pm

We have no intention of grading your answers for this one. You may ask questions on the forum.

Note that this mockup is setup as an online test. The actual exam will require you to download and access the exam paper through Safe Browser. Do not forget to set it up ahead of your exam day, please.

What is allowed in the exam room (UPDATE on laptop charger)

Note that you are only allowed to bring in your laptop and a pen. You will be given a blank paper to use for drafting your responses - the blank paper will be collected after the exam.

[UPDATE] The exam team tells me that there IS a powerpoint available at EACH desk in your exam room. So to the students who have been asking about your laptop batteries, you can bring your own charger and laptop.
