3.2 Invigilation
3.2.1 Invigilation FAQ
Why have I been asked to invigilate?
A teacher may be asked to help invigilate a Math national test because they have a regularly scheduled class,
cover duty or study hall during during the testing time. It is possible that a teacher could be assigned an
invigilation time that conflicts with their schedule, so it is recommended that all teachers asked to invigilate
check the invigilation schedule and notify the head of department of any issues so that the appropriate
changes can be made.
All members of the Math department will be scheduled to help invigilate Math national tests such that it
minimizes class disruptions.
How long will I be asked to invigilate?
In most cases, you will be asked to invigilate for 30 minutes at a time. If you have been assigned more than
one 30 minute block, you can request the head of department to consolidate your invigilation time.
What is my roll as an invigilator?
Your primary role as an invigilator is to ensure that students are doing their own work by circulating
throughout the Aula. At any time there should be at least three invigilators in the Aula who will be
responsible for:
1. granting students permission to use the toilet,
2. circulating the Swedish version of the national test,
3. distributing extra paper and
4. collecting tests from students.
You are kindly asked not to bring grading nor to work from your computers while invigilating. It is also
recommended that conversations between invigilators are kept to a minimum.
What if a student asks me for help?
During the information presentation at the start of the national test, students will be informed that invigilators
are not to provide help during the test. As an invigilator, you can always offer the student a copy of
the Swedish version of the test.
In the rare event that a student discovers an error in the test, simply forward this information to a member
of the Math department who will then decide on the appropriate action to take.
What if a student is found using a calculator on the non-calculator part of the test.
If a student is found to be in possession of a calculator during the non-calculator part of the test, then the
invigilator will take the following actions:
1. ensure that the student has their full name on the non-calculator part of the test
2. inform the student that their non-calculator part of the test is being collected because they were in
possession of a calculator and ask them to continue with the calculator part(s) of the test
3. place the test in the void tests folder, which will be located on the stage at the front of the aula
If you are unsure if a student should be in possession of a calculator, please ask a member of the Math
department for help.
