classes. While we encourage you to consult and integrate material

Your work must reflect that you at least consulted the study
guide.
The exam for this module is using the invigilator app. It is
compulsory to use this app. Scripts of students who have not
utilised this app will be subject to disciplinary processes, and
results will be withheld pending the outcome of the disciplinary
process. Your exam QR access code is embedded above. Please
read the instructions below on how to use the invigilator app
during this exam. Alternatively, an instruction document with
the QR access code is also available under the ‘Announcements’
and ‘Additional Resources’ tab on the respective module and
myExams sites.
• You should scan the QR Code as soon as you have downloaded
your question paper during the 15-minute download window
before the official exam start time per the timetable, i.e., at
07:45 on the day of the exam.
• Please take note that you can only scan the QR code for a limited
time (30 minutes) after the commencement time of the
assessment and it should therefore be scanned as soon as possible
to start the invigilation.
• Please take note that you can only scan the QR code once. Make
sure you are ready to start the assessment when you scan the
QR Code.

• It is important to note that you must adhere to the time limit in
your myExams assessment as the invigilation time in the app
could exceed the time allocated to complete your assessment.
• Keep the Invigilator app open on your smartphone during the
assessment. You are not allowed to minimise or exit the
application during your assessment. You cannot minimise the
application and use your smartphone for typing. If you wish
to use a smartphone for typed responses, you will need an
additional smartphone. If you finish your assessment before
the app timer has run out, you need to press the ‘Finished
assessment’ button and follow further instructions before
you leave the app.
• The Invigilator app will request you to take photos of your
answer script (i.e. scan) after the assessment. Please follow the
instructions on the app. Take note that you are still required to
upload your answer script on the myExams portal.
• If you experience technical difficulties on The Invigilator App,
contact the technical helpdesk via WhatsApp on 073 505 8273.
