Your exam details
Your exam timetable in my.unimelb will include the exam format, date and start time, writing time, and reading time (if applicable) for each of your exams. If you are sitting an exam with Alternative Exam Arrangements, an example of your exam timetable can be found on the Alternative Exam Arrangements page.
Date and start time
Noted in green beneath the subject name, this is the date and time that you will be able to commence your exam. The start time is displayed in Melbourne time (AEST).
Exam times have been adjusted to accommodate time zones for overseas students whose contact address reflects an overseas address. The timetable has been designed to enable you to complete your exams between the hours of 7am and 9pm in your time zone. If you are an overseas student and have an exam that completely falls outside of these times, please submit an enquiry to the Exams office.
Please note: The deadline to update your contact address to have your Semester 1 2022 exams scheduled to your relevant time zone has passed. The Exams Office will make every effort to accommodate late changes where possible, however these cannot be guaranteed.
Reading time
It is recommended you use this allocated time to read the exam and plan your approach. In the LMS, the reading time is automatically included in the official exam time, and begins at the listed start time of the exam.
Writing time
The total writing time for your exam.
Venue and Zoom link (if applicable)
The venue for your exam. When the Zoom link for your exam has been generated, it will be available here.
Exam conditions
This displays the format for your exam. Different exam formats will have different time commitments and conditions, so you will need to be prepared for the assigned exam formats for each of your exams.

How to plan your exam schedule
Check your exam timetable carefully. Your exams may be delivered in different exam formats, once your subject coordinator has confirmed your exam format you should review the guides available.
What if I have an exam clash?
If your central exam clashes with a Faculty-managed exam, test, or intensive, you should contact your Subject Coordinator and/or department so that they can make alternative arrangements for you. You are expected to complete all of your centrally-managed exams at their scheduled time.
What if I have three exams in one day?
Students can sit no more than two exams in one day. If a Faculty-managed exam is one of your three exams in one day, contact your Subject Coordinator and/or department so that they can make alternative arrangements for that exam. You are expected to complete all of your centrally-managed exams at their scheduled time.
