Dear students,
The exams of the 1st semester will start this coming Friday!
The KZV students are welcome in our gym, while the GZV students are expected in classrooms no. 4 (and 5).
At the bottom of this page you will find a sketch showing the exam set-up. In the hallway there are tables where you will need to place your signature on attendance lists for each exam that you take.
The exam rooms can be entered 15 minutes prior to the start of the exam.
Please be on time in order to avoid unnecessary delays!
If you are late due to unforeseen circumstances you are still welcome to join the exams,  as long as no other candidates have left the exam room.  You will however receive no extra time.

Please be aware of the following:
1. You can leave your pens, pencils etc. on the table when you finish an exam. You can use the same table for your next exam.
2. After the allotted time for the exam has passed we will ask you to hand in your exam work. The only exception to this is for candidates that have provided a dyslexia statement in advance.
3. When you have finished an exam, leave the exam room quietly and hand in all the paperwork where indicated on the drawing below. GZV students hand in their work in class room 4. It is not permitted to take any exam paperwork with you.
4. Please be aware that the GZV candidates are taking their exams in classrooms 4 & 5. We therefore ask you to remain quiet in the hallway at all times!
5. You can sit (study) in the restaurant, the library or one of the empty class rooms between exams. Please do not take your jacket, food or drinks into the library.

GOOD LUCK!
