Taking any exam, let alone an online exam could be quite challenging for most students. Having a dress rehearsal of sorts in the form of a practice exam may help defuse some of the issues and obstacles that may arise.
Once all the technical and setup issues are resolved comes the online exam taking environment, behaviors and rules specifications. Avoiding the following common habits or mistakes while taking an online exam could be the difference between a smooth experience and a flag laden exam record.
- Avoid wandering eyes. Nothing screams exam cheating than constantly staring off screen.
- Avoid using reference material (books, notes, browsing your computer, calculator) unless allowed
- Avoid talking out loud. This includes reading the question out loud.
- Avoid using headphones
- Mute and avoid background noise (TV or radio)
- Dress appropriately
- Stay at your seat during the exam
- Stay off the phone
