You’re nearly at the finish line, but it’s important not to let standards slip now. Most exam malpractice happens by accident, not because someone meant to cheat, and the consequences can still be serious. A quick check before you enter the exam room can protect your hard work.

📱 No devices in the exam room.
📝 No notes or revision sheets.
❓ Not sure? Ask an invigilator.
🤫 During the exam: don’t talk or share information.

Follow the rules and focus on doing your best.

✨ Every child deserves an assessment that meets them where they are.

🧩 At Cedar Lodge Special School, teachers use CCEA Adaptive Assessments on iPads at an accessible entry point for pupils with Moderate Learning Difficulties with results that feed directly into individual Pupil Learning Plans.

‘SEN students accessed and completed the test with very little help or guidance.’

Watch how Cedar Lodge are making assessment work for every learner.
