Notes:
With automatic timing the length of each station (and stage within it) are configured in the exam set up and candidates will automatically rotate to their next station at the end of Marking time. The Waiting Room only occurs once, at the very start of the exam.
Tips:
In addition to using the waiting room to complete ID checks, it is also a final opportunity to verify that participants have completed IT checks and provide troubleshooting guidance where necessary.
