Can candidates carry on working on their supporting studies once the timed test starts?

No, candidates cannot carry on working on the supporting studies once the timed test has started. The supporting studies must be available to candidates at the start of the timed test. All work, including the supporting work must be kept securely at the centre during the test. Centres must ensure that no additional work is brought into the test once the test has started. The centre must ensure that the room where the test is taking place is secure in order to prevent any loss or damage to the work or misconduct. For detailed guidance, you should refer the Guide to the Administration and Online Submission of Art & Design.
