The exam is conducted as usual, but in addition, students may be provided with their own sheets of paper for drawing, writing, or making calculations. Remember to bring a blue or black pen.
In Inspera, a unique seven-digit code will be listed, and you must write this code on the sheet(s) of paper. These sheets of paper are then scanned after the exam and become an integrated part of the answer.
