EXAMINATION LOCATIONS BOOKLET June 10-15, 2013 SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR EM1, LW1 and QU1 STUDENTS PLEASE READ PAGE 5 All students are required to bring their Student Cards AND picture identification (driver’s licence, passport, citizenship card, etc.) for their examination identification. There is no exam qualification process for any student registered in a Level 1 - 4 course. If you have registered in a Level 1 - 4 course, you will automatically be scheduled to write your examination. PACE Level courses require exam qualification through the assignment process. Please refer to the online Student Handbook or the Exam Information section of our website for more details. IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR STUDENTS Our national examiners constantly comment to the effect that students do not answer the question(s) asked of them. All exam questions must be carefully reviewed for their specific requirements. Additionally, students are cautioned with regard to their review of previous exams. There is much evidence that students are not utilizing this study aid correctly. Answers to the requirements of similar previous exam questions are being given in response to current exam questions. Students are overlooking the specific current requirements. Please read each question carefully.

Please check any course materials allowed in the examination room and make certain they conform to the regulations. Check that loose notes are not inadvertently left in the book(s). 8.

In the Affiliate box, fill ONE bubble to indicate your affiliate. In the Examination Centre box, clearly PRINT the examination centre. In the Course box, clearly PRINT the course code. In the response area, choose ONE answer for each question. No answer or more than one answer will be marked as incorrect. Insert the Scan Form and Exam Question Paper inside the Exam Answer Booklet when you submit them to your invigilator. DO NOT staple or pin the Scan Form with the Exam Answer Booklet. DO NOT fold, tear or crumple the form. -5- Students must fill in all information as instructed below. Failure may result in a late or missing exam score. Always use an HB (or #2) pencil for the Scan Form. DO NOT use pen because the scanner will not scan your form. Use a soft eraser to erase the changed answers completely. Fill the WHOLE bubble neatly. DO NOT mark on the Timing Line along the left side of the Scan Form. Make sure the Student Number filled on the Scan Form is exactly the same as the Student Number on your Student Card. SPECIAL NOTICES TO STUDENTS CGA national examinations must only be written on the scheduled dates and times indicated in the Examination Timetable shown above. Any student who arrives more than 30 minutes late will not be admitted in the examination room. If you live in an exam centre outside of Victoria or Vancouver, especially if it states “CONTACT INVIGILATOR TO CONFIRM EXAM LOCATION” for your exam centre, you must contact the invigilator listed to confirm your attendance. In these small centres, you may be the only one scheduled to write for that night so if you do not let the invigilator know that you intend to write, he/she may not make arrangements to be available for you. Also, please notify your invigilator if you do not intend to write an examination. This is important for students in smaller exam centres as a courtesy to the invigilator. -6- EXAM CENTRE EXAM CENTRE CODE EXAM DATE EXAM LOCATION ABBOTSFORD 3737 June 10-15 Mennonite Educational Institute 4081 Clearbrook Road Abbotsford, BC INVIGILATOR'S WORK ADDRESS & PHONE NO.
