Please read these notes carefully and make sure you have the required proforma documents close at hand, together with a 2B pencil and eraser for your chartwork.
You should already have these but can download them here – beware, they are large files!
We recommend you write down each answer on paper before you enter any data on screen.
All questions, whether they require written or numerical answers will be marked by your Instructor within 24 hours.
When you enter your answers on line, there will be no indication as to whether you have passed or NOT passed any particular question or part of a question until your instructor has reviewed your completed paper.
Your instructor will be automatically notified when you start your assessment paper and whenever you upload any images of your chartwork and or pro-formas used in the question you have answered.
If you require changing an uploaded image, simply re-upload the new image and the previous one will be deleted automatically.
Important: Only ONE image can be uploaded per question, so if your work involves charts, forms and notes make sure they can all be clearly seen and easily read on a single image
As soon as you look at the first question the DS General Assessment Paper Exam Timer will appear on your desktop. We suggest you keep and eye on the timer to monitor your progress.
In special circumstances, the instructor is prepared to grant a long time allowed for the exam.
If you think you might need a longer allowance, please contact your instructor before starting the exam.
