What specifications should an examination room adhere to?
There are no strict rules for the examination room. However, there are two main principles here. One is that the environment should be comfortable for the candidates. They should not be hindered during the examination (e.g. by temperature or noise) and not be distracted (e.g. by people passing by or TV screens). It is important that the environment should not be conducive to cheating. Hence, the candidates should sit at least 1.20 meters apart from each other, so that they cannot peek at each other’s answers. The supervisor should at all times during the examination be able to see and hear all candidates. No books or notes are allowed in the examination room and the use of cellphones or other communication equipment is prohibited during the examination session. With the possible exception of an EXIN auditor, no other persons are allowed access to the examination room other than the candidates and the supervisor.
