Notes:

1. Conduct of Examinations

•STARTINGTIMESOFEXAMINATIONS: Each examination must be taken on the day and at the time as shown on the timetable. The published starting time of all examinations is either 9.00 a.m. or 1.30 p.m. Candidates with more than one examination in a session should take these consecutively. A supervised break may be given between consecutive examinations.

•Centres may start an examination earlier than, or later than, the published starting time for the session without prior approval from Edexcel. However, in order to maintain the security of the examination all candidates must start examinations scheduled for a morning session no earlier than 8.30 a.m. and by 9.30 a.m. and for an afternoon session no earlier than 1.00 p.m. and by 2.00 p.m., except where arrangements have been made for dealing with timetable clashes. No other departure from the timetable is permitted without the prior written approval of Edexcel. Applications for such changes must be received by 26 April 2013.

•GCE French,German,Italian,Russian,Spanish,UrduandChineseUnit2 - centres with larger cohorts (e.g. 30+ candidates) wish-ing to maximise use of their language laboratory facilities by arranging for groups of candidates to undertake the Unit 2 listening element at different times are free to do so, as long as they adhere to the following conditions:

•Each group using the language laboratory for the listening assessment should be allocated the same time (45 minutes) for this section of the examination. Candidates should be free to move on to the other sections of the paper (reading and writing) in the language laboratory if they so wish.

•All papers should be taken in by the invigilators at the end of the 45 minutes and then re-distributed to candidates once they have been escorted to another examination room.

•Candidates should not re-start their Unit 2 assessment until instructed to do so; but upon commencement candidates must be allocated the remaining time (1 hour 45 minutes).

•Candidates should be “quarantined” to ensure that they cannot talk to each other about the content of any aspect of the Unit 2 assessment.

•To facilitate assessment of the listening element centres are advised that as another alternative to candidates using individual CD listening devices, centres are also able to download secure sound files to MP3 players.

•Centres requiring a visiting examiner for French units 6FR01 and 6FR03 Option B should contact Edexcel no later than 8 February 2013.
