• During scheduled or unscheduled breaks during exams, students are not allowed to consult textbooks, notes, or ask questions to teachers or other students. Do not use electronic or communication devices during breaks.
• Do not leave the building during the exam.
• Students will be dismissed as a group when the exam is concluded. Individual students may not be dismissed early as they finish.
