Please do not start the examination if you have a fever or fall ill on the day of the examination.  No make-up examination will be arranged for students who attempted the examinations.

If these devices have been brought into the venue, they must be switched off, including any alarm function and sealed inside the bags under the chairs. Students are also advised to take out the battery from all sound-making devices before the start of the examination to ensure that no sound or alarm function will be emitted.
