As soon as you can, send an email to inform the program coordinator or academic coordinator and determine the best way to get corroborating evidence (medical certificate etc.). You will need to apply for special consideration if illness/ injury/ or circumstances beyond your control prevents you from completing the test. There is an onus on you to provide evidence for any disruption or issue with the test and all such issues will be verified and investigated. As test are individually generated, options after a disruption will be determined on an individual case by case basis. It is important not to panic as we have many options in how we respond, and the usual special consideration conditions apply.

(or to each question if no sections) • Questions will be presented to you one at a time. You must submit each question before you can access the next question in your test. Once submitted you are unable to access your answer. Make sure you re-read and edit your answer before you submit each question. • Do not email the co-ordinator or your lecturer about questions on the test during the test window. University regulations prohibit them from answering specific questions about the test. Only contact them if something goes wrong (see instructions below). Preparing for the test (How to be successful in Online Test) Review the tips document (attached). • As many of the tests are effectively ‘open book’, tests preparation will be different to a ‘closed-book’ test. • Access the student Online Transition Moodle page, which has a specific module on ‘End of Semester Assessments’ at: https://moodle.federation.edu.au/course/view.php?id=67746 • Check your computer and internet access and if possible use a wired internet connection (usually more reliable) or if unavailable check and test the Wi-Fi set up. It is not advisable to use a public wi-fi connect such as those available at McDonalds. • Do not try to complete the test on your mobile device. • Find a good spot to take the test –and turn off all distractions. Find a space that is quiet, private and has space for all the resources you need (books, note etc) • Check the test date and plan a “window” within that period to take the test. It is important to allow sufficient time to complete the test. • You must study for the test as you will need to be familiar with the content, so you don’t waste time looking up information once the test opens. Not all questions can be directly looked up and there will not be enough time to look up everything. • It may be useful to create an organized set of summaries as you study to help answer questions. • Your responses must be in your own words although you will not be expected to do complete referencing. • Practice good time management while taking the test – know how long you have for each section. You will not be allowed to go back in the test, so it is important to complete each answer before moving on. • Only use your own words. Don’t be tempted to collude or plagiarise as answers will be checked in Turnitin when suspicions arise. https://moodle.federation.edu.au/course/view.php?id=67746 4 | P a g e 3 June 2020 • Review all advice from your Course Coordinator add any on specific regarding materials and preparation (or repeat them here) ? • Familiarise yourself with the practice test link provided in Moodle so that you understand how the test will be conducted. • YOUR TIME MANAGEMENT: • You need to schedule time to prepare and attempt the test.
