If you've got exams coming up, we want you to feel confident, so let's go through a few key steps to help you prepare.
The first thing you should do is check your exam timetable on My Napier. This will tell you the day and time your exams are taking place and whether they're on campus or online. Occasionally, assessments may need to be rescheduled, so please check regularly for any changes.
If you're sitting exams online, it is important that you log in beforehand and check that you can access the exam server for the correct exams. Access to the contents of the exam paper will be restricted and you will only be able to access the full exam paper at the times and dates noted on the exam timetable.
Remember you must submit before the end of your allocated time, so make sure to leave time at the end for submitting your paper.
For exams taking place on campus, you'll go to your allocated room and write answers in a script book provided to you.
Additional support is available for students who have an agreed learning profile in place with Disability Inclusion.
Make sure you leave plenty of time for traveling to campus before your exam starts.
