EXEMPTION EXAM INFORMATION

(FOR STUDENTS)

The ENG 101 exemption exam is designed to assess students’ proficiency in English to a level deemed appropriate to follow English medium undergraduate instruction without the support of the Academic Skills in English I (ENG 101) course content. To take this exam, it is necessary to apply within the dates specified in the academic calendar. The passing grade for this exam is CC(70).

BEFORE THE EXAM

• Students should check the announcements section on the university website (sfl.ieu.edu.tr) for exam details. They should find their student number on the list and note their exam location and time before coming to school.
• Since the exam starts with the listening section, students should be present in the exam hall on time. They should arrive at least 30 minutes early and check their names on the lists posted on the classroom doors.
• If a student’s name is not on the list, they should contact the instructor in the corridor.
• The exam begins with the listening section. There is a 2-minute break before the recording is played a second time. Late students will be admitted during this break by the instructor in the corridor before the second listening begins.
• No extra time will be given for late arrivals.
• If a student arrives late and misses the listening section, the invigilator will cross out that part in the booklet. Any answers given to these questions without listening to the audio will be considered invalid.
• Students arriving more than 20 minutes late will NOT be admitted to the exam room.
• Students must bring their student ID. Those without a valid photo ID will NOT be admitted.
• As optical forms will be used as answer sheets, it is important to bring a soft pencil and an eraser.
• All mobile phones and electronic devices (smartwatches, tablets, headphones, etc.) must be turned off and kept out of reach. Students must ensure that all notifications, including sound, alarm, and vibration, are disabled before placing their devices on the invigilator’s desk.
• Students must sit in their assigned seats. They must not change seats without permission.
• Students may bring water with them; however, they are not allowed to keep notes, books, or notebooks on their desks.

• After receiving the exam booklet and optical form, students should not forget to sign the declaration on the front page of the booklet and the signature box on the optical form.
• The students’ name, surname, student ID and classroom should be filled in on the front page of the booklet. This information can be found on the optical form.

• The FORM NO section should be left blank on the optical form.

DURING THE EXAM

• Multiple-choice answers must be marked both in the booklet and on the optical form. The student is responsible for any marking errors.
• Only one answer should be marked for each question. Multiple answers will be considered invalid.

• Leaving the exam room within the first 30 minutes is not allowed. Leaving the exam without permission is prohibited. In emergency situations, leaving is only permitted when accompanied by the invigilator in the corridor.
• Students may not ask questions during the exam.
• All instructions given by invigilators must be followed.

• In suspicious cases, invigilators may warn students, change their seats, or file an official report.
• Students who are allowed to leave the exam room by the invigilator should not wait in the corridors or create crowds and noise.

AFTER THE EXAM

• At the end of the exam, students must remain seated quietly and wait for the invigilator’s instructions.
• All exam materials (booklet and optical form) must be submitted together and must NOT be taken out of the exam hall. Missing documents may result in the exam being invalidated.
