If you\u2019ve got exams coming up and can\u2019t find your student ID card, find out how to <a href=\"https:\/\/students.curtin.edu.au\/essentials\/student-details-and-id\/\">order a new ID card<\/a> now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arrive early. <\/strong>You need to arrive at least 20 minutes prior to the exam to have your student ID checked and find your seat. We recommend getting there even earlier, especially if you don\u2019t know exactly where your exam venue is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use your reading time. <\/strong>Before you start each exam, you will be given 10 minutes to read the exam questions and plan your responses. Make sure you use this time to read over the questions and make notes or highlight text as directed on the front cover of the exam paper.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read the instructions. <\/strong>Exams are stressful, so it\u2019s easy to overlook instructions on the paper. To ensure you don\u2019t make mistakes during the exam, be sure to read any instructions you are given carefully \u2013 especially if you are given multiple answer booklets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t bring any unauthorised material. <\/strong>If you\u2019re caught with any unauthorised material (e.g. notes, textbooks and electronic devices other than approved calculators) you may be subject to a fine, sanction or disciplinary action. A sanction will prevent you from graduating, so don\u2019t risk it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t leave the exam venue. <\/strong>You\u2019re not allowed to leave the exam venue during the first hour or the last 15 minutes of an exam, or leave when you have finished the exam until you have been advised to do so. If you leave the venue (e.g. to go to the toilet), you can\u2019t return unless you have been under approved supervision while away from the exam venue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Always hand in your paper. <\/strong>Even if you haven\u2019t written anything, you still need to hand in your paper with your name and student ID number at the end of the exam.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck with your exams!<\/p>\n<p><em>Written by mass communications student Kelsey Tang<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you\u2019re about to sit your first university exam or just need a refresher, here are some basic things that you need to know before sitting exams at Curtin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4317,"featured_media":20245,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_oasis_is_in_workflow":0,"_oasis_original":0,"_oasis_task_priority":"","_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","wds_primary_oasis-categories":0,"footnotes":""},"oasis-categories":[147],"class_list":["post-13741","oasis-news","type-oasis-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","oasis-categories-study-skills"],"acf":false,"featured_image":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/exam-refresh-image-1588x840-1.jpg","author_meta":{"first_name":"Jaeger","last_name":"Wieland","display_name":"Jaeger Wieland"},"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-29 04:09:58","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"oasis-categories","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/oasis-news\/13741","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/oasis-news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/oasis-news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4317"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/oasis-news\/13741\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"oasis-categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/oasis-categories?post=13741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
