Before the 24 Hour Take Home Exam
Normally in this section we'd be recommending that you check the location and time of the exam, but there will be different things to consider in the current circumstances of remote assessment. You will be given information by your school and module leaders about the exam, its format and how it will be marked. Check this to make sure you know the answers to the following questions, or ask your module leader if it's not covered.
