• Ensure that you are connected to the internet to log in to the Invigilator app and scan this QR code.
• If you encounter any difficulty in scanning the QR code, you can instead enter the exam access
code below the QR code to start the invigilation.
• Unless otherwise specified by your institution, note that you can scan this QR code only 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 scannable for a limited time only; therefore scan it as soon as possible to start the
invigilation.
• Once the QR code has been scanned, ensure your media volume is turned up and place your
cellphone/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 cellphone/smartphone on charge for the duration of the
assessment.
• If you have only one device, you may access your assessment in the application by pressing the
“Access Exam” button in the top right-hand corner of your app.
• Keep the Invigilator app open on your cellphone for the full duration of the assessment. Do not
minimise or leave the app.

displayed in the Invigilator app might 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.
• Note the following 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
uploading of your script to your institution’s online portal.
• After completing invigilation and following all the app instructions, you must upload your Invigilation
app data. If there is a delay in the uploading of the app data at the end of the assessment, you
should prioritise the uploading of your answer script to your university portal and you can temporarily
minimise the app to do so. Uploading of app data is not time-sensitive, so you can return and do it
after you have successfully uploaded your script to the examination portal.
• Should you encounter any technical difficulties, please WhatsApp The Invigilator Helpdesk on 073
505 8273.
