Partitions

Listed below are the general guidelines for setting up exam delivery room partitions for candidates.

Partitions - exam delivery room

1. Partitions should separate lateral candidates (seated side-by-side or corner-to-corner). These solid privacy partitions or walls must be at least 1.5 m (5’) in height and extend outward from the wall at least 1.2 m (4’).

1. Desktop partitions are acceptable if height measured from the floor is at least 1.5 m (5’) and measures outward from the wall 1.2 m (4’). Exam delivery room setup should also take into consideration that ceiling mounted cameras should have sufficient viewing area into the cubicles.
2. Candidates seated at the end of a row do not need a partition at the end of the table/row unless
   1) a candidate is seated nearby or
   2) the end of the row is near a door or window.
3. Sites with only one exam delivery workstation are not required to have partitions, as long as the exam delivery room is enclosed, and any viewing windows would not allow others to pass by and view exam items on the screen.

Partitions - classroom

In addition to the exam delivery room partition items listed above, the following guidelines should be considered when installing partitions in a classroom setup:

1. Temporary partitions may be used in a classroom if installing permanent partitions would conflict with classroom activities.
2. Front row candidates do not need partitions in front of them (behind their workstation monitor) since no candidates are in view in front of them.
3. Candidates in rows seated behind other candidates should have a partition in front of them (behind their workstation monitor) to prevent viewing of candidates seated in front.
4. Candidates seated at the end of a row do not need a partition at the end of the table/row since no candidate is seated next to them, unless the end of the row is near a door or window.
