If you encounter difficulty in scanning the QR code, you can alternatively enter the
Exam Access Code below the QR code to start the invigilation.
Unless otherwise specified by your institution, note that you can only scan this QR code
once. If your assessment has multiple online sections, tests or attempts, you should
NOT finish the invigilation until your entire assessment has been completed.
Only scan the QR code when the assessment formally commences.
The QR code is only scannable for a limited time and it should therefore be
scanned as soon as possible to start the invigilation.
Exam Access Code: eedc22d2
Once the QR code is scanned, ensure your media volume Is turned up and place your
smartphone next to you. The Invigilator App will notify you with a notification beep when
you are required to action a request, which you should then perform.
We recommend that you keep your smartphone on charge for the duration of the assessment.
If you only have one device you may access your assessment in the application by pressing the ‘Access Exam’ button in the top right
corner of your app.
Keep the Invigilator App open on your cell phone for the full duration of the assessment. You are not allowed to minimise or
leave the app.

connection is required during the assessment.
You have to adhere to the assessment time limit communicated to you by your institution as the time displayed in the Invigilator
App could differ from the time allocated to complete your assessment.
You can click the "Finish Assessment" button in the app if you finish your assessment early.
If you are performing a written or Scan-and-Upload assessment:
The Invigilator App may request you to take a picture of every page of your answer sheet at the end of the assessment. Unless
otherwise specified by your institution, this does NOT replace the normal upload of your script to your institutions online

the upload of the app data at the end of the assessment, you should prioritise the upload of your script to your university portal and you
