when candidates must be in the exam or under Full Centre Supervision.\nwww.cambridgeinternational.org/keytimes\nCambridge sets Key Times for different time zones to keep exams secure across the world.\nWhy are Key Times important?\nKey Times stop confidential exam information from being shared:\nwith our candidates before their exams, or\nby our candidates after their exams.\nKey Times make sure exams stay secure until everyone in the world has completed them.\nIf a candidate finishes early and wants to leave the room before the Key Time, they need to be kept under Full Centre Supervision until the Key Time has passed.\nOur Key Times information\nWe follow the Key Times set by Cambridge based on our centre’s location\nWe have morning and afternoon exam sessions and there is a Key Time for each one:\nMorning session Key Time: [add Key Time]\nAfternoon session Key Time: [add Key Time].\nWhat is Full Centre Supervision?\nFull Centre Supervision means that candidates are supervised by invigilators or teachers.\nIf candidates are not in their exam at the Key Time, they must be in a room under Full Centre Supervision until the Key Time has passed, or until the exam starts.\nFull Centre Supervision staffing\n30\nThere is at least one supervisor for every 30 candidates.\n1\nA supervisor can also be an invigilator, but Full Centre Supervision is different from exam invigilation.\nFull Centre Supervision regulations\nCandidates can:\nhave access to books and notes\ntalk to each other\nleave the room accompanied by a supervisor – the number of supervisors must not fall below 1:30 ratio.\nFull Centre Supervision regulations\nCandidates must not:\ncommunicate with people not under Full Centre Supervision\nhave access to any communication device with or without the internet.\nbe in the same room as anyone except candidates taking the same exam, and their supervisor(s)\nKey differences between Full Centre Supervision and exam conditions\nCandidates do not have to be in the exam room\nCandidates are waiting for the exam to start or the Key Time to pass\nStaffed by supervisors (who can be invigilators)\nCandidates can talk to each other quietly\nPrinted books and revision notes allowed.\nCandidates are in the exam room\nCandidates are taking the exam\nStaffed by invigilators\nCandidates cannot talk to each other\nNo books, notes or unauthorised

exam early can leave before the Key Time if they don’t discuss the paper.\nTest your knowledge\nQ3: What is Full Centre Supervision?\nWhen candidates revise together before an exam without supervision.\nWhen candidates are not in their exam at the Key Time, they must be supervised until the Key Time has passed, or the exam starts.\nWhen candidates cannot leave the centre until everyone has finished the exam.\nWhen candidates are left alone in the exam room between exams.\nTest your knowledge\nQ4: During Full Centre Supervision, candidates must not:\nRead revision notes.\nBe in the
