To ensure that there is no cheating, your parent/guardian will also be required to join a Zoom video conference and video you are taking the test, for the whole duration of the test. This is to ensure that students do not cheat by referring to external reference materials. Also, the students are only allowed to do their workings on a small whiteboard.
