We have done our best to schedule your exams between 7.45am and 8pm in your local time zone. This means that your exam might be scheduled at a time that is different from the rest of your class.
The following approach was taken to scheduling exams for students who are studying offshore.
| Scheduled Time in NZDT | Asian | South & West Asian | Americas |
|---|---|---|---|
| Morning session 9.15am |
Rescheduled to the day before at 5.45pm NZDT Monday 9.15am sessions rescheduled to the Saturday before at 5.45pm |
