Exam time

The exam time begins exactly at the time you select from the booking calendar, even if you have not yet logged in to EXAM. Move quickly to the exam computer that has been assigned for you. The end of the exam time is set automatically, and you will be logged out of EXAM when your exam period ends, even if you have not completed your exam. Return your answers in any case, even if there are questions still unanswered. Otherwise, submission will not be sent. Follow the remaining exam time on the EXAM screen. Reserve the last 5 minutes to finish the exam, log out of the exam machine and leave the studio, because the next examinee may already be waiting to enter the same exam computer.

When you are finished or your exam time ends, clean up the desk and leave the Examstudio without delay. You cannot return to the Examstudio if you decide to leave in the middle of the exam.

Exam computer

In Examstudios, the exam computers are numbered. You will take your exam on the machine that was assigned for you when you booked your exam appointment. The exam machines do not have internet or network connections. For privacy reasons, all information about the examinee and attached files are deleted from the exam machine immediately after logging out from the exam computer. Therefore, be careful if your answer includes attachments and make sure the attachments are visible in EXAM before returning.

Logging in to the exam computer:

1. Turn on the exam computer and display.
2. Log into the exam computer using the login details (not your user ID) displayed in the Examstudio.
3. After turning on the computer and logging in, wait a few seconds for the browser to open automatically.
4. Log into the EXAM-application using your Jamk user ID.
5. The exam will start automatically. If there is no exam starting half past hour, press keyboard F5 (display refresh).

Tools and supplies

In the Examstudio, there are paper and pencils that examinees can use for taking notes and drafting. When you leave the Examstudio, place any paper you used in the locked waste paper bin. You are not allowed to take any paper with you out of the Examstudio. If you need access to some of your belongings or require special arrangements due to health reasons, please, notify the teacher about this before the exam. We recommend sending an email to your teacher about this right after signing up for an exam.

Monitoring and cheating

Examstudio has recording video surveillance. Violations of the rules of use that came as a surveillance observation are handled in accordance with Jamk’s ethical principles.

Empty your storage locker without delay so that it can be used by other examinees. You are only allowed to use the storage lockers for the duration of your exam.

Once the teacher has assessed your exam answers, you will receive an email notification and the results will be displayed on your dashboard in the EXAM-application.
