Before starting the exam, as a student of Istanbul Gedik University, you will be deemed to have read and accepted the procedures related to the exam, named “2020 – 2021 Academic Year Midterm Exam Application” published on the system.

There is no transition between questions in the exam. You cannot return to the question you have answered or left blank. We recommend that you do not leave the questions blank, as mistakes will not take away the correct answers.

Exam questions are randomly selected from the question bank in a different way for each student and at the same difficulty level.

In writing part, you should use your own sentences. If you copy the sentences from a website, your writing part will be invalid. Sentences you get elsewhere will be counted as plagiarism.

You will have a maximum of 2 access to the exam. Your second entry right is given in case you encounter a problem on your first entry. Please do not try to enter for the 2nd time if you did not have any problems with the first login.

If you use any translation tool in the background or extension during the exam, you may have trouble seeing the exam questions. Before starting your exam, please make sure that there are no translation tools in your extensions. If you see a notification like “Translate the page”, you should not translate it. Because seeing English sentences in another language on your exam does not allow you to do the question correctly and even prevents you from seeing some questions in the system.

THIS EXAM IS RECORDED FOR SECURITY REASONS. STUDENT WHO DOES NOT ACCEPT VODEO AND AUDIO RECORDING FOR SAFETY PURPOSE IS OBLIGED TO LEAVE THE EXAM AND NOTIFY THE DEPARTMENT/FACULTY WITHOUT ANSWERING THE EXAM QUESTIONS.

All transactions you will perform during the exam will be recorded.

Students who want to take the exam face to face must inform their advisor before the exam.

If you have any technical problems during or after the exam, you can contact GUZEM via e-mail [email protected].
