Supplementary Exam Information Sheet
Session 2 2020
Examination process
• The exam will be held online via iLearn, at a date and time to be finalized by the School. It is your
responsibility to check the details of the supplementary exam, including the date, window time, and
duration. Please be reminded that the exam time provided is Sydney time.
• The supplementary exam will be located within the “Exam Period Assessment S2 2020” section on
the top of the ACCG3008 iLearn page.
• The exam duration is 2 hours and 20 minutes. It is expected that the exam will take about 2 hours
to complete; however, additional time has been granted to all students to account for potential
internet connectivity issues; difficulties with typing; etc. Hence, the total time allowed is 2 hours
and 20 minutes.
• You must complete the exam within the window time provided. Hence, please start your exam as
early as possible. Please be ultra-careful with this, as we will not extend the window.
• In order to access the exam, you will need to first declare Fit to Sit. This Fit to Sit declaration will
show prior to the commencement of the exam.
• You are allowed only ONE ATTEMPT to start and do the exam. Once your exam starts, you must
finish it without unnecessary interruptions. Remember, the timer will not pause for any reasons.
• The exam will be open-book. However, this does not substitute for your learning. To do well in the
exam, careful preparation is essential and frequently “looking things up” during the exam will not
be to your advantage. Hence, you should be fully prepared for the exam.
• It is an INDIVIDUAL EXAM and you must complete the exam yourself and not obtain assistance
from another person or from the internet. Similarly, you must not download the questions onto your
desktop or supply them to anybody else. To either use or provide assistance is a breach of the exam
rules for which you could be referred to the University Disciplinary Committee and face a range of
serious consequences.
• Calculators can be used for the purpose of completing the exam, and it is best to have working
papers ready when completing practical questions.
• Please ensure you have a suitable and quiet environment to complete the exam. Before the exam,
check that your computer/laptop is charged and Internet is working and ensure iLearn is accessible.
It is recommended that Chrome or Firefox be your browser. You should have phone data as a
backup for hotspotting.
• Do not use back or forward buttons in your browser. Instead, you should use the quiz navigation
function, located on the up-right corner of the page.
• You should use the ‘Next Page’ button at base of screen to move to the next page of questions, or
‘Previous Page’ button to go back to the previous question, or the navigation function mentioned
above.
• After completing all the questions, you should click ‘Save and review’ on the final page. It will
take you to a summary screen which indicates the questions you have answered. If you have missed
any questions you can click ‘Return to attempt’ to return to the exam.

question.
