Exam timetable and invigilation
3 min read
Exam season needs two schedules at once: when each grade sits each subject, and who invigilates each room. A mistake in either throws the whole school off.
Set exam days and sessions
How many exams a day and how long each is, leaving a gap day before big subjects if possible.
Spread subjects over the days
No grade sits two hard exams on one day, and subjects shared between grades line up.
Prepare exam rooms
Pupils per room and how many invigilators each needs.
Share invigilation
No teacher invigilates their own subject, sessions are balanced between teachers, with reserves for absences.
Tips
- Gadwaly builds the exam timetable and shares invigilation automatically with these rules, prints the room sheets and sends each teacher their sessions.
Questions
Can a teacher invigilate their own subject?
Better not — the app avoids it automatically.
