Exam day
Your open book exam paper will be available from 09:00 UK-time. You will have 24 hours to complete and submit your exam, although it is expected to take you around 3 hours to complete.
Closing interviews
Closing interviews are held within the weeks following your Open Book Exam. The interview should last around 10 minutes and will be completed online.
