When attending an open examination centre, please ensure that you are polite and courteous to the venue staff, APMG-UK invigilator and other candidates. Please remember that there are several examination sessions throughout the day so should you arrive early, please check an examination is not in progress before entering the room and do not create excessive noise near the room in case this disrupts other candidates. You will be asked to leave the examination if your behaviour is abusive or disruptive.
